System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x8 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Zhezhie orbits towards the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Zhezhie 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)

Zhezhie 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.

• It experiences relatively low temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Zhezhie has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• The seas are crusted with pack ice. Much of the land is covered in ice and a thick layer of frost.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

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

• Native lifeforms are cryophilic - they thrive in low temperatures.

History & Background (Dossier)

Zhezhie 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.

The system's secondary star experiences periodic bouts of flare activity, which causes interference, strange tones and noises, and heavy static on commo and sensors.

• During major outbursts of flare activity radiation levels within the secondary star's small system of worlds are dangerously high.
• Exposure to elevated radiation levels causes serious health issues and may damage unshielded electronic devices.

The secondary star is far enough from the primary and the mainworld for the flare effects to be limited to commo interference.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: previously undocumented groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.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

Zhezhie 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)

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

World Technology Level (T)

Zhezhie possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

• The world has no technological base.

World Government (G)

Zhezhie has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

World Law (L)

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