System
Ka’ssha, the system primary, is an ordinary white main sequence star lying at the center of the K’shek cluster. It has two tiny red dwarf companions, Ishik and Skirka, which orbit one another at a mean separation of 0.2 AU, and in turn orbit Ka'ssha at a mean distance of 78 AU. Ka'ssha retains a family of six rocky worlds; Ishik and Skirka are orbited by a single small rocky planet. Many of the worlds in the system retain families of satellites.
Mainworld
Keraha is a large exotic atmosphere planet that orbits Ka’ssha at a mean distance of 2.8 AU, within the system's habitable zone. Ch’kaahi is the outer of its two moons, orbiting at a mean distance of 380,000 km.
Ch’kaahi is a medium-sized body with an above average density and a surface gravity of nearly 0.9G. It experiences powerful tidal stresses caused by Keraha and seismic and geological activity is common. The world is abundant in metals and minerals of all kinds. It has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere containing significant traces of argon and carbon dioxide. It is rated as dense, with a mean surface pressure of 1.85 bar. There are large seas and lakes of liquid water that cover nearly 40 percent of the surface. The climate is generally warm, with temperatures averaging around 23ºC: temperatures rarely fall below freezing at the poles and can reach uncomfortable levels around the equator.
The surface is dominated by rugged mountains, arid badlands and open desert.
It is the site of the Sa Skah'Sath (the Museum of Sath Cultural History), where exhibits such as the Hiishiiha are on display.
TBD is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Zowie Subsector of Zowie Sector.
