Karadin is an icy, low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.
- Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Utt Subsector of Halcyon Sector.
- This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

System Data[edit]
Obost System[edit]
The primary is Obost, a dim red subdwarf star. It has a luminosity of 0.00103 Sols, a mass of 0.081 Sols, and a diameter of 109,000 km. (II) an exotic atmosphere stormworld, and (III) an exotic atmosphere bigworld form the outer system – orbital position (I) is empty. Both of the worlds retain satellites.
Norak-Karadin System[edit]
The companion is Norak, a dim red subdwarf star. It has a luminosity of 0.00006 Sols, a mass of 0.058 Sols, and a diameter of 73,700 km. (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) Haspur, a ringed small gas giant: (IIb) Karadin is its outer moon and is designated the mainworld, and (III) an exotic atmosphere radworld form the outer system. Only the gas giant retains satellites.
(II) Haspur[edit]
(II) Haspur is a ringed small gas giant that orbits Norak at a mean distance of 0.41 AU (61.3 million km) and has an orbital period of 1 year 33 days. It has a diameter of 37,000 km and is a mottled bluish-green colour. It retains a family of two major satellites of which the outer, (IIb) Karadin, is designated the mainworld.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(IIb) Karadin[edit]
(IIb) Karadin is the outer of the two major moons of (II) Haspur and is designated the mainworld. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 12 diameters (444,000 km), with an orbital period of 1 year 197 days: it is tidally locked to Haspur. It has an axial tilt of 5 degrees. Karadin has a diameter of 5,113 km, a density of 4.27 g/cm³ and a surface gravity of 0.31 G. Tidal stresses caused by the gravitational pull of Haspur cause frequent geological activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Vacuum. Around 7% of the surface is covered in a crust of water ice. Mean surface temperature: -137°C.
Mainworld geography and topography[edit]
Total surface area: 82 million km², Land surface area: 76 million km², Ice surface area: 6 million km².
Native lifeforms[edit]
No world in the Karadin system is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Almost every adult citizen is expected to hold governmental office or serve in the government at least once in their lifetime. The minimum elected term is typically one standard year. A few exceptions are made to exclude citizens from service. The political landscape is a dynamic sea of shifting parties and alliances that rise and fall with alarming regularity. Coalitions of parties form governmental voting blocks to work on essential items of planetary concern. Those single issue groups are seldom stable enough to persist for long. Voting is via personal electronic devices, everyone carries authenticated electronic ID on their person at all times. These universal IDs are also used to trade and process all economic activity in lieu of normal currency. Visitors must obtain temporary IDs to function in society. Voter-citizens are casting votes to make collective decisions almost everyday, on the way to work, in the park domes, while shopping. Random cross sectional samples of voters are queried to decide on matters on an ad hoc basis. As a result most citizens are extremely well versed in political topics, economics, policies and governmental procedures. Each person is trained to feel like they matter and contribute in a meaningful way. As a result outsiders must admire the administrative skills of random civilians, but many find their high opinion of themselves, and their sense of self-importance as difficult to tolerate, long term.
World starport[edit]
Karadin has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
World technology level[edit]
Karadin possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
- Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
- Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-1.
World government[edit]
Karadin is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.
World military[edit]
There is a armored Protected Forces platoon of four Enlightened 2T class Air Rafts with 12 crew. They are maintained by mercenary contractors from Blass (world) who also serve as military advisors.
