Jesel is a pre-agricultural, pre-Industrial, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.
- It requires significant imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly improve barring outside forces.
- It is a member of The Last Line in the Farin Subsector of Halcyon Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.
- This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.
- The Jesel system is a part of the Vey Trace.

System Data[edit]
Kimmesey-Jesel System[edit]
The primary is Kimmesey, an ordinary yellow-white main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 2.126 Sols, a mass of 1.144 Sols and a diameter of 1.639 million km. The inner system consists of (II) a vacuum inner world, and (III) an exotic atmosphere radworld – orbital position (I) is empty. (IV) Janipor, a large gas giant, orbits within the habitable zone: (IVc) Jesel is its third satellite and is designated the mainworld. (V) a large gas giant, (VII) a sparse stony planetoid belt, (VIII) a small gas giant, (IX) a small ice giant, (X-I) a ringed large gas giant, and (X-II) a sparse icy planetoid belt form the outer system – orbital position (VI) is empty. Many of the worlds in the system retain satellites.
(IV) Janipor[edit]
(IV) Janipor is a large gas giant that orbits Kimmesey at a mean distance of 1.1 AU and has an orbital period of 1 year 29.5 days. It has a diameter of 86,000km and is a faintly banded tan-brown colour. It retains a family of four major satellites of which the third, (IVc) Jesel, is designated the mainworld. Huge aurorae play across the huge world's northern and southern poles.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(IVc) Jesel[edit]
(IVc) Jesel is the third of the four major moons of Janipor and is designated the mainworld. Jesel orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 35 diameters (3.01 million km), with an orbital period of 54 days 18 hours: it is tidally locked to Janipor. The axial tilt is 6 degrees relative to Janipor. It has a diameter 8,454 km, a density of 5.59 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.67 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Janipor cause frequent geological activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.89 bar and a composition of 84% nitrogen (N2), 15% oxygen (O2), and 1% argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the low percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 83% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.8m. Mean surface temperature: 8°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems, driven by the star and the oceans, sweep across the globe. The climate is static.
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
This world is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
This world has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
This world has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.
Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]
Total surface area: 225 million km², Water surface area: 189 million km², Land surface area: 36 million km².

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Jesel, the mainworld, has extensive native life, although almost all lifeforms are aquatic. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. The most sophisticated land-dwelling organisms are primitive photosynthetic slimes and blue-green algae.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Jesel is a former member of the Corolian Jurisdicture.
- Jesel is the de facto capital of the Last Line.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Jesel has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
Local Conditions[edit]
- Status: war footing (government modifier x1.5).
- Naval Support Capacity: 1,350,000 dTons
Construction Restrictions[edit]
Facilities[edit]
Port facilities within the system include:
World Population (P)[edit]

World Demographics[edit]
Humaniti, population 95%
- Other, population 5%
World Government (G)[edit]
Jesel is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are young governments, coming as a recent change and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.
