System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x4 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Okapaidlent is a major moon of a large gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary world orbit towards the outer edge of the star's habitable zone.

• They receive low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Okapaidlent is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

• Tidal stresses generated by the gas giant primary world cause frequent seismic and geological activity.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Okapaidlent 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.

• The world experiences low temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Okapaidlent has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• Much of the ocean surface is covered by icebergs, pack ice, and ice sheets.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Primitive primarily aquatic native life occupying a variety of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Okapaidlent is a corporate outpost based around mineral extraction and processing.

• The resources of the system are being exploited.

There is ongoing corporate activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is sporadic: ships occasionally visit.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
• A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• A few vessels may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Okapaidlent has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Demographics (P)

Okapaidlent has a population of 2000 Vlazhdumecta humans.

Urbanization

A few small facilities, each with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• All lie within a single small region of the surface.
• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Okapaidlent possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Okapaidlent is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

World Military

Corporate security personnel.

World Law (L)

Okapaidlent has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
