Jump map from Travellermap.com

Ronodik is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and barren in nature with no overt population, government, or law level.

• These worldlets would warrant hazardous environment precautions if anyone lived here.
• They could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Ronodik Subsector of Theron Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Ronodik is a trinary star system.

• The primary is an enormous red giant named Salvator.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.
• The tertiary is an orange main sequence.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Ronodik is an Asteroid Belt mainworld.

Ronodik consists of two separate star systems.

• The red giant primary star and its secondary red main sequence companion form one system.
• The orange main sequence tertiary star lies a few hundred AU distant.

The mainworld orbits within the orange tertiary star's outer system.

• It receives very low levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the stars Jump Shadow.
• A small, very thin atmosphere, heavily irradiated secondary world orbits within the stars habitable zone.

Mainworld Size (S)

Ronodik is an Asteroid Belt consisting of a few very large objects with diameters of hundreds of kilometers, thousands of bodies of a few kilometers in diameter, and millions of smaller objects.

• Asteroid Belt is the belt when it is the mainworld of a system.
• Planetoid Belt refers to any non-mainworld belt within a system.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

None of the bodies within the Ronodik belt retain an atmosphere.

• The belt is in vacuum conditions, requiring the use of a Vacc Suit.
• TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

The belt contains a few icy bodies. A few belt objects have frozen volatiles on their surfaces.

• Wilderness refueling is possible within the belt, provided a suitable icy object can be found.
• Water for the inhabitants is generally imported and is extensively recycled.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held chart of the belt exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms

No native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Ronodik is a frontier, a wild and lonely place that rarely sees visitors. Many of the planets and moons within it have ever have had an intelligent being visit them.

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

The system is unpopulated.

• Commercial traffic is extremely rare: the system sees very few visiting ships.
• Commo only picks up natural background noise and static.
• There are no active navigation beacons.

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)

Ronodik 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 Demographics (P)

Ronodik is unpopulated.

Urbanization

None.

World Technology Level (T)

Ronodik possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

• The world has no technological base.

World Government (G)
