Trichinella is a moderate population, non-agricultural and preindustrial, icy vacuum world, with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It is a world working toward being an industrial powerhouse but lacks an adequate workforce to do so at this time. Immigration is being encouraged and promoted. This world needs workers.
• It is a member of the Regency of Muirimi in the Zebylono Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.

• It is a main world which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• Vacuum worlds have no climate, but experience extreme differences in temperature between direct starlight and shade.
• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

• The mainworld.
• x4 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Trichinella is a satellite of a gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the outer system.

• They receive very low levels of stellar energy.

• They orbit beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Trichinella is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Trichinella has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Trichinella has 15-25% of its surface covered by ice, either in vast sheets or contained deep within craters or fractures on the surface. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants can be got by mining and melting ice.

• The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
• Much of the surface is cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving only around 20% of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.
