System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x12 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belt.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Zhieq-22 orbits within the prime region of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

It has a slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 5.5 standard days (130 standard hours).

Mainworld Size (S)

Zhieq-22 is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Zhieq-22 has a pressure of 2.5 or greater atmospheres. A Dense & High Pressure Atmosphere typically requires no survival gear under many conditions. Pressure at or below sea level is too great to support life but the atmosphere may be breathable at higher altitudes. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• On average, the world experiences relatively high temperatures.
  • Temperatures climb to very levels during the 75 hours of daylight.
  • Temperatures fall to moderate levels during the 75 hours of night.
• Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere push up the world's surface temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Zhieq-22 has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice heavily tainted with other substances, which makes it dangerous, corrosive, or toxic. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

• The water on the surface may be unsuitable for use or consumption without extensive filtering and purification.
• Refining for fuel may cause issues with shipboard purification plants.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
