Murtaskin is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- 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 Borealis Kantel Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

Murtaskin is a binary star system.
- The primary is an enormous red bright giant.
- The secondary is a red main sequence.
The primary star is named Mu Borealis.
- It can be seen from across Charted Space.

Mainworld Data[edit]
No information yet available.
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Murtaskin 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)[edit]
Murtaskin 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)[edit]
Murtaskin has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.
