• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.

Mainworld Data

Oskard has a very slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 22 standard days, or 3 standard weeks.

The mainworld orbits within the two star's combined Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zones warmer inner H+ region
• It receives higher levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the two stars overlapping Jump Shadows.

Mainworld Size (S)

Oskard is a Small World between 2,400km and 4,000km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.1G and 0.17G. The horizon will appear about 2.5km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Oskard 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Oskard has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• Much of the surface is an arid, hostile environment.
