Solua is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.
- This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Brink Subsector of Shadow Rift Sector.
Astrography and Planetology[edit]
This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.
- This world is a part of the False Bridge Trace.

System Data[edit]
Nathin-Solua System[edit]
The primary is Nathin, an ordinary yellow main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.886 Sols, a mass of 0.98 Sols, and a diameter of 1.391 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum inner world, and (II) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world. (III) Solua orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a thin atmosphere stormworld, (V) a large gas giant, (VI) a sparse icy planetoid belt, (VII) a ringed large gas giant, and (VIII) a small gas giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(III) Solua[edit]
(III) Solua is designated the mainworld. It orbits Nathin at a mean distance of 0.57 AU (85.3 million km), just within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 158 days 19 hours and a rotation period of 34 hours. The axial tilt is 25 degrees. Solua has a diameter of 14,897 km, a density of 6.62 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 1.40 G. The world is geologically very active. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 1.21 bar and a composition of 88% nitrogen (N2), 10% oxygen (O2), 1% argon (Ar), and 1% carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O), ozone (O3), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by very low percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 94% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.75m. Mean surface temperature: 2°C. The climate is rated as Temperate-Cool and experiences minor seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is very active and powerful weather systems driven by the star and the oceans surge across the globe.
Satellite[edit]
Solua retains a single natural satellite, a cratered vacuum worldlet named Pasqual:
- (IIIa) Pasqual (UWP Y301000-0, orbiting at 35 Diameters/520,000 km)
Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
Total surface area: 697 million km², Water surface area: 655 million km², Land surface area: 42 million km².
Native Lifeforms[edit]
Nathin-Solua System[edit]
Solua, the mainworld, has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Much of the life found on the world is aquatic.
The cold marginally hospitable world lying in orbital position (IV) (within the H+ region of the outer system) has primitive native life, consisting entirely of microscopic cyanobacteria-parallels that exist in any location where they can find even a minimal trace of shelter and warmth. Their metabolic functions maintain the process of atmospheric renewal.
No other world in the system is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
No information yet available.
World starport[edit]
Solua 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 technology level[edit]
Solua possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
- Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
- Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.
World government[edit]
Solua has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
