Krav is a barren water world with no overt population, government, or law level.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.

• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Vilian Subsector of Astron Sector.

• It is a main world which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Krav is a binary star system.

• The primary is an orange main sequence.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Krav is a satellite of a gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

• They lie within the zones prime H region.
• They receive moderate levels of stellar energy.
• The gas giant is "puffy", warm and swollen due to the energy it receives from the star.

• They orbit inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Krav is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Krav 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 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)

Krav has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

• the vast oceans are storm-wracked and turbulent.
• The gravitational pull of the gas giant causes huge tides.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms

Abundant, diverse aquatic native life filling every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
