• 90% of the population is composed of native (non-humanoid) Bhu'oovaakaylaa.
• Less than 10% of the population is composed of Syleans and other human and non-human sophonts.

Mainworld Data

This is an ellipsoid world.

Mainworld Size (S)

Khiinra Ash is a Big World between 15,200km and 16,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1.1G and 1.5G. The horizon will appear about 5.7km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

• A high gravity acclimatisation course, consisting of a regimen of physical exercise in gradually increased gravity, and lasting some two or three weeks, is recommended before a Traveller operates on Khiinra Ash. Many starlines operating services to this world offer such courses.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Khiinra Ash has a pressure of 0.5 or less atmospheres. An Ellipsoid Atmosphere typically requires no survival gear under many conditions. The world's surface is ellipsoidal, not spherical. Because the atmosphere remains spherical, surface atmospheric pressure ranges from very high at the middle to very low at the ends. Breathable bands may exist at some point within the range of pressure. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Khiinra Ash has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

Because of its high gravity, Khiinra Ash has no large mountain ranges, but its porous, cracked land masses have enormous canyon systems. Here is where complex life is found, as the atmosphere is denser.

Native Sophont: Bhu'oovaakaylaa

A peaceable species whose large size and unusual physiology generally prevent them from travelling offworld, though they are enthusiastic members of the Imperial community.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Khiinra Ash 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.

• Khiinra Ash Highport is a serviceable and friendly facility, though its technology is outdated. The staff see themselves as ambassadors to the Bhu'oovaakaylaa civilisation and are helpful to offworlders.

World Demographics

About 12 million native Bhu'oovaakaylaa live here, though exact numbers are unknown. The common listed population figures for the world list only the Sylean Humans.

• Bhu'oovaakaylaa, 90%
• Sylean, 10%

World Technology Level (TL)

Khiinra Ash possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Khiinra Ash has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Governance of this world is from Mikhag Kuu.

World Military

As with all of the Sylean Worlds save Capital and Yirsh Poy, Khiinra Ash is demilitarised and has been since the Civil War.

World Law (L)

Khiinra Ash has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
