It has a slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 106 standard hours (4.5 standard days).

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Tarilot is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Tarilot has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require 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.

  • Temperatures during daylight hours are high but plummet to very low levels at night.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Tarilot has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

  • The continental interiors are arid, hostile environments.
