System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zones prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Lixin 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)

Lixin has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard 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)

Lixin 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 oceans experience powerful tides.

Satellites:

Lixin retains two small vacuum moons.

• The worlds orbit once every few weeks.

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

Primitive aquatic native life. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Lixin is a remote and desolate frontier. Very few intelligent beings have ever have set foot on any of the worlds in the system.

• Information about the system is limited.
• The resources of the system remain untapped.

Officially, the system almost never sees traffic.

• Commo typically only picks up natural background noise and static.

The Aslan may be using the system as a link in a secretive path across the region.

• If they are, their vessels only enter the system very occasionally.
• They likely conduct refueling operations then continue on their way.

Aslan Clan interests may have established an exploration route, seeking to find a safe course into the empty systems of Theron Sector.

• They seem to be moving along the very edge of the Great Rift, using isolated systems and a hidden fuel cache.
  • The most likely location for any such fuel cache is considered to be hex 2901 of Waoasi Subsector (Subsector D of Faoheiroi'iyhao Sector).
• If it really exists, the route relies on Jump-5 vessels.

The Clans would likely use any such route to communicate with and supply their explorers, pioneers, and scattered outposts within the region.

• The existence of the route and the fuel cache have not been proven.
