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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the stars habitable zone.

Mainworld Size (S)

Jhosku is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Jhosku has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint 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)

Jhosku has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)

Worldname

The system is a remote and desolate frontier. Few intelligent beings have ever have set foot on its worlds.

• Commercial traffic is rare: the system sees very few visiting ships.
• Commo only picks up natural background noise and static.

Jhosku has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

World Demographics (P)

Jhosku has a population of 200.

Urbanization

A single central facility with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
