Lark's World[edit]
Lark's World
- Diameter: 15460 miles
- Density: 0.68
- Mass: 4.9
- Mean Surface Gravity: 1.3
- Rotation Period: 21 hrs
- Orbital Radius: 0.94 AU
- Orbital Period: 218 dys
The research station on Lark's World was originally set-up to investigate an abnormality in an otherwise common world. The planet's molten core is roughly a tenth of a percent of what should be expected given its size, age, and orbital radius. Fifty-four Imperial scientists (including a sixteen member team specializing in xeno-archeology) are currently stationed on the world researching the phenomenon.
Nugget[edit]
Nugget
- Diameter: 2103 miles
- Density: 0.13
- Mass: 0.0024
- Mean Surface Gravity: 0.035
- Rotation Period: 14 hrs
- Orbital Radius: 0.78 AU
- Orbital Period: 165 dys
Nugget, essentially a large ball of ice with a small but dense rocky core, has been leased to Naugrim Enterprises, a sector-wide corporation with 7000 employees positioned locally. According to company spokespeople, Naugrim is conducting a speculative mining operation in order to determine the world's mineral assets, if any.
