It orbits within the two stars' combined habitable zone.

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

Mainworld Size (S)

Quenteer 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)

Quenteer has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

• It experiences moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Quenteer has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

• It orbits once every few hours.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms
