Vervet is a 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 Plutting Subsector of Astron Sector.

• It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.

Stellar Data

Vervet is a binary star system.

• The primary is an orange main sequence.
• The secondary is a tiny white dwarf stellar remnant.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x6 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Vervet is a satellite of a gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

• They lie within the zone's colder outer H- region.
• They receive lower levels of stellar energy.

• They orbit inside the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Vervet is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Vervet 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Vervet has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• The world experiences low temperatures.
• Much of the surface is covered in glaciers, ice, frost, and snow.

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.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant, diverse native life filling every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native life thrives in low temperatures.

History & Background (Dossier)

The system is a remote wilderness. Many of the planets and moons within it may never have had an intelligent being visit them.

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

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)

Vervet 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.
