Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Zukhisa 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)

Zukhisa has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Zukhisa has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History and Background

This system was a powerhouse industrial center within the sector during the First Imperium -- not as mighty as Sibikliir (Empty Quarter 1430), but still worthy of note.

Her population went into free fall soon after the end of the First Imperium. After suffering both an economic and an ecosystem collapse, the system finally began to recover in the -1000s.

Antarean industrial concerns began to make use of the large workforce of Zukhisa in the late 200s, allowing a certain level of low-tech prosperity to return to the world. Some of this prosperity was temporarily lost in the local Bust of the 4th Imperial century, but was painfully regained afterwards.

The relationship between Zukhisa and General Products solidified in the post-Civil War period.

World Starport (Sp)

Zukhisa has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

Zukhisa has a population of 7,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
