Pyviro is a water world with 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.
- The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
- It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Ingo Subsector of Astron Sector.
- This die back world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left, leaving behind the ruins and remnants of their civilization.
- It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
Stellar Data[edit]
Pyviro is a binary star system.
- The primary is a yellow main sequence.
- The secondary is an orange main sequence.
System Data[edit]
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x8 secondary rocky worlds.
- x4 gas giants.
Mainworld Data[edit]
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)[edit]
Pyviro is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Pyviro has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Pyviro 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 vast oceans are storm-wracked and turbulent.
Satellites:[edit]
Pyviro retains a small very thin atmosphere moon.
- It orbits once every few weeks.
Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
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.
(Placeholder chart, predominantly watery world.)
Native Lifeforms[edit]
Abundant, diverse, primarily aquatic native life filling every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
- There is little land. Few species have colonized the archipelagos and islands that dot the surface.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The system is a remote wilderness, lying on the very edge of Charted Space.
- Information about the system is limited.
- The resources of the system are largely untapped.
Pyviro is a former colony of the Wuaye.
- It has been abandoned for more than a thousand years.
- Only a few ruins of the former settlements remain.
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)[edit]
Pyviro 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 Technology Level (T)[edit]
Pyviro has a die back Tech Level of TL–1.
- The world has no functioning technological base.
Salvage
- Remains on this world include worked raw materials.
- These may be salvaged.
World Government (G)[edit]
Pyviro has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

- Resources: 5 (scarce)
- Labor: 0 (unpopulated)
- Infrastructure: 0 (non-existent)
- Efficiency: -5 (extremely poor)
Trade Data[edit]
- Importance: -3 (very unimportant)
World Demographics (P)[edit]

A few ruined urban centers on large islands, with abandoned satellite communities on smaller islands.
- The ruins are concentrated within a single long archipelago.
- Structures have been exposed to weather and the environment for centuries.
- All that remains is exposed foundations, collapsed walls, and rubble.
