Judice is a barren world with no overt population, government, or law level.
- This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
- It has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
- It is a hellworld with an inhospitable environment that makes conditions difficult for most sophonts.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations. Those who dwell on such worlds often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
- It is a client state of the Third Imperium in the District 268 Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.
- Judice contains an Imperial Research Station.
Description (Planetology)
No information yet available.
Non-canon: Judice’s environment is one of the harshest ever encountered in known space. The planet’s surface is an indescribably barren wasteland of rock and sand that has been blasted and scorched by the corrosive atmosphere, which consists primarily of gaseous nitric acid. What little precipitation falls is quite literally acid rain, and scars the tortured landscape with jagged crevasses and canyons before running off into “seas” of liquid nitric acid. And, as if all this was not inhospitable enough, Judice has no water, its gravity is above standard, and the average surface temperature is a sultry 33 degrees Celsius.
History & Background (Dossier)
A low-population, non-industrial world located in the District 268 Subsector of the Spinward Marches.
Non-canon: Judice is so absolutely unsuited for habitation by any of the major sophont species that no government, corporation, or individual bothered to lay claim to it until the early 1100s. At that point, the planet began to excite great interest in the interstellar scientific community due to the discovery of a group of complex lifeforms that had somehow managed to evolve and flourish in the hellish environment of Judice’s nitric acid seas. Several reputable xenologists have even theorized that certain of these lifeforms possessed a limited degree of sentience.
In 1103, Imperial Research Station Eta was establised just offshore of the largest sea with the mission of studying these exotic and fascinating lifeforms.
