Jump map from Travellermap.com

Rienz Ia is a poor, barren hellworld, which would challenge the survival of nearly any sophont in Charted Space if it weren't already barren.

• As a barren world, it has no overt population, government, or law level.
• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
• This world could probably be populated by very determined colonists if any had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Itlolzedl Subsector of Chiep Zhez Sector.

• It is a chilly tundra world, with a climate of low temperatures.

System Data

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

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

Mainworld Data

Rienz Ia orbits towards the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

It has a slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 2.7 standard days (65 standard hours).

Mainworld Size (S)

Rienz Ia is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Rienz Ia has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. 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 Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences low temperatures.

The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

• Oxygen is produced by photocatalytic conversion of surface materials by stellar energy.
• Fresh surface material is constantly exposed through processes such as seismic activity, volcanism, or erosion.
• The oxygen rapidly depletes from the atmosphere through oxidization with surface materials: a rough equilibrium between production and depletion exists.
• The world has a low oxygen taint: the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere varies according to the density of global cloud cover.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Rienz Ia has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

• The small seas are littered with pack ice.

Satellites

Rienz Ia retains two tiny planetoid moons.

• They orbit 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

No native life: the world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)

Rienz Ia is a wilderness, a wild and lonely place that almost never sees visitors. Most of the planets and moons within the system have never been visited by an intelligent being.

• Information about the system is limited.
• The resources of the system are untapped.

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)

Rienz Ia 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 Population (P)

Rienz Ia is a Barren World with no sophont population. It may still possess lifeforms.

World Technology Level (T)

Rienz Ia possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

• The world has no technological base.

World Government (G)

Rienz Ia has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

World Law (L)

Rienz Ia has no law level. No laws of any kind are enforced.
