Resfriado is a pre-agricultural, pre-Industrial world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts.

• It requires significant imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly improve barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Borethane Subsector of Neworld Sector.

• This world has a high degree of Axial Tilt.
• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
• It is a member of the Borethan Worlds region of the Borethane Cluster.

• x3 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 planetoid belts.

Mainworld Data

High Axial Tilt

Resfriado has an orbital period of 500 days around its star.

• It has an Axial Tilt of 75° – considered to be high – and a rotational period around this axis (a local day) of 21 standard hours.

The poles of the world always face in the same direction out-system as it orbits the star. The northern pole of Resfriado happens to be pointing towards the star Theta² Eridani in Theta Eridani Subsector, about 30 parsecs to trailing: it is known locally as the Pole Star.

• Each pole experiences a 125 Day long Light Season, a 125 Day long Days Season, a 125 Day long Dark Season, and a second 125 Day long Days Season during the course of a complete orbit around the star (a local year).
• It experiences erratic seasonally based climate shifts and weather events during the course of its local year.

The world orbits towards the outer edge of the star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Resfriado is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Resfriado has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard 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.

• Mean temperatures on the world are considered to be low.
  • Temperatures during Light Season reach uncomfortably high levels.
  • Temperatures plummet to very low levels during Dark Season.
• Extreme weather events causing wild fluctuations in local temperatures can occur without warning during any seasons.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Resfriado has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• During Dark Season, those regions of the world's oceans in permanent darkness become littered with icebergs and pack ice.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native lifeforms are adapted to cope with a wide variety of environmental conditions.

History & Background (Dossier)

Resfriado is a member of the Borethan Worlds region of the Borethane Cluster, a cluster and trade route lying across the border between Aldebaran Sector and Neworld Sector.

The world has a high axial tilt and experiences wildly fluctuating weather events, going from very cold weather sweeping in from the dark side to near tropical conditions as warm air floods in from the light side. This irregular cycle is driven by scientific principles but it's chaotic nature and the extreme environmental conditions it causes have made local weather patterns something an anomaly.

The world's culture is deeply rooted in the Central American and South American continental regions of Terra. Family, food, faith, and music play a huge part in people's lives, and generally the inhabitants have a slower, more relaxed outlook than many other worlds within the Confederation.

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but many see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.

World Starport (St)

Resfriado has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

Resfriado has a population of 900,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

• The population almost entirely consists of Solomani humans.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Rim Anglic, a dialect of Anglic and the principal language of the Confederation.
• Spanish, a Terran language that is spoken across the Confederation.

World Technology Level (T)

Resfriado 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)

Resfriado is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World Law (L)

Resfriado has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
