Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Zinuun is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Zinuun has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Zinuun has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Zinuun is a poor backwater world. It is ruled by the hereditary Ugrik family, a member of which holds the title Count Zinuun. The world produces mostly cheap industrial goods for sale on Giikusu, and has never been accorded much importance.

Later Eras[edit]

During the Rebellion, the Ugriks began accepting refugees displaced by fighting in Antra and Atsah Subsectors, and the world developed a reputation as a safe haven for displaced persons across the trailing portion of the Domain of Deneb. Millions of people streamed in during the Abandonment, and the world began to change. Trade with Twinian (Deneb 2013) necessitated the construction of a large metals industry, which soon attracted low tech manufacturers from other parts of the Regency to construct factories to take advantage of cheap materials and labor.

While the world is still modest compared to other more developed regions, it is advancing rather nicely, and it possesses a strong educational system and several top rate universities. The decision to make the world a safeside terminus for goods coming from the Wilds through Namidshur (Deneb 2019) will probably fuel an even more lasting economic and social boom.
