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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x1 gas giant.

• It lies within the zones prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

• Commo is filled with signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
• One or two commercial navigation beacons may be active.
• Vessels rarely operate 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Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.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)

Radson has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

The starport is the private property of the Kingdom of Peladon. It is operated and run by the Kingdom.

World Population (P)

Radson has a population of 60,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

Urbanization

Multiple large urban centers are surrounded by smaller satellite communities.

• Huge areas of land are given over to agricultural production.
• Inhabited areas are dotted across the world.
• Much of the surface of the world remains as wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Radson possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
  • Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
  • Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
  • Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.

World Government (G)
