Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Tiselius is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Tiselius 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

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

Satellites:[edit]

Tiselius retains two tiny planetoid moons.

  • Their surfaces are cratered and irregular
  • They orbit once every few days.

  • Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
  • Detailed survey data commands premium prices.
