Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Kaldamar is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Kaldamar 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)[edit]

Kaldamar has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

McClellan Factors.jpg

Kaldamar is a Non-Aligned, low-population Terran prime world.

The trading cartel McClellan Factors maintained an economic stranglehold on the mainworld, and in the Kaldamar Incident of 1107, the planetary government used mercenaries to seize McClellan's on-world holdings to end the long-running dispute.

World Starport[edit]

Kaldamar 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.
