Sterchi is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it dangerous to visitors.
  • This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Kline Subsector of Magyar Sector in the Domain of Sol.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
  • About 50% of the population is composed of Droyne.
  • About 50% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Sterchi 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 (A)[edit]

Sterchi has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. While a Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

  • The dense atmosphere allows local Droyne to fly with easily assembled artificial aids.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Sterchi has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.
