Mainworld Data

Shéaniki is the outer moon of Pelmarlu, the system's innermost gas giant. It is a frigidly cold world retaining a trace atmosphere of helium and ammonia, thrown off by the gas giant. Shéaniki displays an impressive degree of volcanism, but when the world is in alignment with Pelmarlu and the star seismic activity reaches a peak.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Shéaniki is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (S)

Shéaniki has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (S)

Shéaniki 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.

History and Background

Around half a million Humans live in a city fusion tunnelled into a mountain, located in one of the geologically quieter areas. The remainder of the population are Droyne, who live in the unstable equatorial lowlands.

Fragmentary records dating from the First Imperium indicate that a Droyne oytrip was present on Shéaniki when it was first explored by Vilani scouts. While the Droyne maintain a stable and sustainable TL–7 society the Humans have an artificial tech level of around ten, but have to import everything they need, including maintenance personnel to keep their city running.

World Starport

Shéaniki has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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.
