System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.

Mainworld Data

Zie'be is the minor component in a binary planet pairing.

• The two worlds have a similar mass.
• The two worlds orbit a barycenter once every few days.

The mainworld and its large primary world orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

• They lie within the zone's warmer inner H+ region
• They receive higher levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Zie'be 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.

• Tidal stresses generated by the world's binary companion cause frequent seismic activity.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Zie'be has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Zie'be has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• The gravitational pull of the large primary world causes huge tides.

Satellites:

Zie'be is the moon of a large world.

• Its larger primary is Tlebh, a large exotic atmosphere world.
• Tlebh: UWP YAB1000-0

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.

Native Lifeforms

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

One species catalogued so far is the Zorgi Vandal.

• A more extensive list of native species can be found within the Zie'be Animal Encounter Tables, a pamphlet listing zoological species and their typical environments.

History & Background (Dossier)

Zie'be is a remote wilderness. It may once have been the site of a research outpost.

• There is extant ecological data for the world. It appears to have been compiled prior to the Long Night.
• Information about the system is limited.

Traffic within the system is very rare.

• The resources of the system are untapped.
• Commo only picks up natural background noise and static.

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.

There are ruins on the surface, little more than overgrown foundations and of uncertain age.

• Who exactly constructed them remains uncertain.

World Starport (St)

Zie'be 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 Technology Level (T)
