Jump map from Travellermap.com

Satyr is a low-population desert world with a population less than 10,000 sophonts in population size.

• This world has no free-standing water.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Duhamel Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
• This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Satyr has a solitary primary star.

• It is a turbulent yellow giant.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zones warmer inner H+ region
• It receives higher levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the stars enormous Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Satyr is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Satyr has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Satyr has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

• Prior to its being warmed by the star's evolution into a giant, the world was an ice capped outer system world.
• The world has an arid, hostile surface environment.
• Deep sheltered locations still contain traces of liquid water.

Satellites:

Satyr retains two small vacuum moons.

• The worlds orbit once every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

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

(Placeholder chart, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

Primitive native life occupying a number of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Given the star is in its planet-clearing yellow-giant phase and Satyr has only relatively recently warmed, these may be of fairly recent evolutionary origin.

History & Background (Dossier)

Satyr is a quiet backwater world with few resources and very little development. It is a former ice capped outer system world that has warmed as its star evolved from a main sequence into a giant.

• A research center is located on the world, investigating the origins of its native life.
• The resources of the system are largely untapped.

There is little activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is relatively infrequent: ships occasionally visit.
• Commo occasionally picks up signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
  • Strong signals and interference are generated by the primary star.
• A few commercial navigation beacons may be active.
• A vessel or two may be operating 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)

Satyr has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Demographics (P)

Satyr has a population of 2000.

Urbanization

A few isolated clusters of structures and compounds.

• Small inhabited areas are dotted across the world.
• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Satyr 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)

Satyr is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be monarchy, with titles passed to family members. Or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Or the organization may be more typical organization with positions of power inherited.

World Military

Privately retained security personnel.

World Law (L)

Satyr has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
