Vior is a Non-Aligned vacuum world located in the Egyrn Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

  • The system has been issued a Red Zone travel advisory.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Vior is important as a jump-3 link across the Outrim Void, linking the Belgardian Sojournate with Imperial space. It has a rough starport of sorts, but many ships crossing the Void skim fuel at the system's gas giant rather than landing on what can be a dangerous planet.

Stellar Data[edit]

Vior has a solitary primary star.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Vior 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]

Vior 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)[edit]

Vior has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

There is a tiny downport run by a private concern which employs a few dozen locals, but is mainly staffed by offworlders.

  • The port receives the occasional ship, but it is not a popular place to live or work.
  • The most frequent visitors to the port are trade ships making the long haul across the Outrim Void and navy vessels -- typically obsolescent destroyers assigned to frontier patrol -- out of the Berengaria naval base. The navy is popular in Vior's downport, since its ships bring in new faces with money to spend each time they visit.
