Mainworld Data

No information yet available.

Mainworld Size (S)

Kfodha 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)

Kfodha has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Kfodha has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

History & Background (Dossier)

This is a powerful independent world with significant naval resources.

By agreement between Kfodha and the Hegemony of Lorean, the stars of the Kongrougzog Chain mark a trailing border of Lorean (and Julian Protectorate) space. This has also kept two smaller worlds in the subsector -- Anweg and Dakanikiguri -- immune to Lorean expansion.

World Starport (St)

Kfodha 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.

• There is an associated Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Kfodha has a population of 3,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.
