Larodil is a poor, nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Darkshade Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• Around 60% of the population is composed of humans.
• About 40% of the population is made up of Chacinti.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x2 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Larodil orbits towards the inner edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively high levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Larodil 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)

Larodil 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.

• It experiences relatively high temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Larodil has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant native life occupying a wide range of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native lifeforms thrive in high temperatures and extremely arid conditions.
• They will rapidly die in environmental conditions suitable for humans.

History & Background (Dossier)

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.
