Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Torm 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]

Torm has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Torm has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The world's port and startown are built well away from the nearest major settlement on a large plateau near the North Pole. Large transit camps were constructed on this plateau, taking advantage of abundant water supplies and cooler temperatures. Torm's population lives in nine small settlements scattered across the world, which are the trade and communication hubs for mines and ranches that radiate out from them. The population is often disparaged as a "damn bunch of shopkeepers and schoolmarms" for their parochial attitudes and cutthroat trading tactics. The world is a minor exporter of foodstuffs and light industrial goods, usually cornering a critical market to reap higher profits, a practice that is the source of most irritation towards this world.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Torm has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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.

Later History[edit]

Torm and its "Tinytown" (starport known for its false facade architecture) were a familiar sight to Abandonment refugees being moved from trailing Deneb into the Regency Safe.
