Esqua is a poor, nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Esqua Subsector of Far Home Sector.

System data
The primary is Chamano, a huge red giant star. It has a luminosity of 2587 Sols, a mass of 8.74 Sols and a diameter of 456 million km – the star's corona extends out to 1.52 AU, around orbital position (V). The inner system consists of (V) a large extremely hot gas giant orbiting very close to the surface of the star, and (VIII, IX) two hot rocky vacuum worlds – orbital positions (VI) and (VIII) are empty. (X) Maranask, a thin atmosphere world, orbits within the habitable zone: Esqua is its major satellite and is designated the mainworld. (XI) a small thin atmosphere world, (XII, XIII) two small giants, and (XIV) a small trace atmosphere world form the outer zone. Many of the worlds in the system retain small satellites.

History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Esqua has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.
World technology level
Esqua possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
- Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
- Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.
World government
Esqua is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
