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

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

• It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Morostal has a solitary primary star.

• It is an enormous red bright giant named Alzaghur.
• It can be seen from across Charted Space.

Morostal has a solitary primary star.

	Remarks		Unstable pulsating star. It produces high levels of EM noise.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x2 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Morostal is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Morostal has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences high temperatures.

The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

• Oxygen is produced by photocatalytic conversion of surface materials by stellar energy.
• Fresh surface material is constantly exposed through processes such as seismic activity, volcanism, or erosion.
• The oxygen rapidly depletes from the atmosphere through oxidization with surface materials: a rough equilibrium between production and depletion exists.
• The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere varies according to the density of global cloud cover.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Morostal has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• The continental interiors are rugged, arid wildernesses.

Satellites

Morostal retains a single small vacuum moon.

• It orbits once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

No native life: the world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)

Morostal is a wilderness, a wild and lonely place that rarely sees visitors. Most of the planets and moons within the system have never been visited by an intelligent being.

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

There is normally no activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is non-existent: the system almost never sees visiting ships.
• Commo only picks up natural background noise and static.
• The system does not have any commercial navigation beacons.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: previously undocumented groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Morostal does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Population (P)

Morostal is a Barren World with no sophont population. It may still possess lifeforms.

World Technology Level (T)

Morostal possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

• The world has no technological base.

World Government (G)

Morostal has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

World Law (L)

Morostal has no law level. No laws of any kind are enforced.
