Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Kolipio is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Kolipio has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. 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 Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

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

Native Sophont (NIL): Kolipians

A race adapted to this world's thin atmosphere, and who inhabit cave systems, navigating in part by sonar.

History & Background (Dossier)

Although the planet is off limits to Imperial citizens, the corporations controlling the system have made contact with the Kolipians. Some bands of natives have entered the belting communities along the Karse-Vendtup frontier amidst Human crews, on trace atmosphere moons and such.
