Talk:Extended System Profile

Notes (2008)

Any idea what the orbit codes indicate?

• Distance from primary?
• Straight numerical order?
• Light-minutes from primary?

What is the difference b/w the plantary orbit numbers and the lunar orbit numbers? Thanks! Dochsavage 06:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

The Extended System Profiles that I have seen are arranged in straight munerical order from the primary star in the system. The second column (for the sattelites) is similar, but in respect to the planetary body rather than the stellar one.

The Orbits detmine the distnce (in AU) from the primary.

The planetary orbits are an orbit number, ranged from 0 to 20. There is a table in the Scouts book, also duplicated in the TNE, T4 and T20 main book which relates orbit number to real distance in AU. That is, orbit 3 is always 1.0 AU.

The moon orbit numbers are number of planetary diameters of the orbit of the moon. For example, a moon in orbit 15 is orbiting at 15 planetary diameters from the main world.
