Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Kheiya is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Kheiya 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]

Kheiya has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
