Jump map from Travellermap.com

Sifaric is a barren world with no overt population, government, or law level.

• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Janzya'jopr Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Sifaric has a solitary primary star.

• It is a red main sequence.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x4 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x1 gas giant.

Mainworld Data

Sifaric is a Twilight Zone World.

• One side of the world permanently faces towards the star and one side permanently faces away.
• In the narrow region between permanent night and permanent day, the primary star eternally hangs on the horizon.

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zones colder outer H- region.
• It receives lower levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Sifaric is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Sifaric 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 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.

• 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 percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere varies according to the density of global cloud cover.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Sifaric has 55-65% of its surface covered by sheets of ice, with small regions of liquid water around the equator. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• The world experiences low temperatures.
• Much of the surface is a frigid, hostile environment.

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.

Native Lifeforms

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