System Data

The worlds of the system have been partially surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Jeshiel is a satellite of a gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the outer system.

• They receive very low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Jeshiel is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Jeshiel has an Exotic Atmosphere and possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks. Additionally, protective suits, while not necessary, are recommended. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences frigid temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Jeshiel has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. What little water or ice exists is heavily tainted with other substances, which makes it dangerous, corrosive, or toxic. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

(Blank map, exotic world.)

Native Lifeforms

Exotic native life occupying a number of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions help drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native lifeforms are cryophilic - they thrive in frigid temperatures.
• They will instantly die in environmental conditions suitable for humans.

History & Background (Dossier)

Jeshiel is a Forbidden World and is designated as a Red Zone. It presents serious risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors.

• Travel to this world is prohibited under advisement of the Zhodani Consulate Data Services.

World Starport (St)

Jeshiel does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Population (P)

Jeshiel has a population of 400,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

• Detailed information about the nature and origins of the inhabitants is not available.
• They are assumed to be humans of Zhodani extraction.

World Technology Level (T)

Jeshiel possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Jeshiel is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Law (L)

Jeshiel has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.

World Culture

The world is a member of the Zhodani Consulate and maintains the traditions and values of that state.
