Urgalin is a poor, barren world with no overt population, government, or law level.

• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Warzone (Iphigenaia) Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.

• It is a binary planet.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Urgalin is a binary star system.

• Both are red main sequence stars.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x6 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld and its binary planet companion orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

• They lie within the zones prime H region.
• They receive moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Urgalin is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

• Intense tidal stresses placed on the world cause frequent seismic activity.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Urgalin has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences moderate temperatures.

The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

• Oxygen is produced by photocatalytic conversion of surface materials by stellar energy.
• Fresh surface material is constantly exposed through processes such as seismic activity, volcanism, or erosion.
• The oxygen rapidly depletes from the atmosphere through oxidization with surface materials: a rough equilibrium between production and depletion exists.
• The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere varies according to the density of global cloud cover.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Urgalin has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

Satellites:

Urgalin retains a large close binary planet companion named Sarduska.

• The two worlds are almost the same size and mass: Sarduska has a UWP of Y320000-0.
• The companion world has an abiotic atmosphere.
• The two worlds orbit a barycenter once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

No native life: the world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)

Urgalin is a frontier, a wild and lonely place that rarely sees visitors. Many of the planets and moons within the system have never been visited by an intelligent being.

• Information about the system is limited.
• The resources of the system are untapped.

There is normally no activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is extremely rare: the system sees very few visiting ships.
• Commo only picks up natural background noise and static.
• The system does not have any commercial navigation beacons.
• Vessels are unlikely be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: previously undocumented groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Urgalin does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Population (P)

Urgalin is a Barren World with no sophont population. It may still possess lifeforms.

World Technology Level (T)

Urgalin possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

• The world has no technological base.

World Government (G)

Urgalin has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

World Law (L)

Urgalin has no law level. No laws of any kind are enforced.
