Orash is a poor, non-agricultural and nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • This world has few prospects for economic expansion and life is very bleak and trying here.
  • 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.
  • It is a member of the Unity of Sed in the Tsorva Subsector of Halcyon Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

System data

The primary is an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0268 Sols, a mass of 0.4258 Sols, and a diameter of 658,000 km. (I) Nestor is a small gas giant that orbits in the habitable zone: (Ia) Orash is its only major moon and is designated the mainworld. (II) a large gas giant, (III) an exotic atmosphere world, and (IV) a small vacuum world form the starward part of the outer system. Orbital positions (V) through (VIII) are unavailable due to the presence of the companion star. (IX) an exotic atmosphere world and (X) a small icy vacuum world form the spaceward side of the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

The companion is a dwarf star. It has a luminosity of 0.00003 Sols, a mass of 1.11 Sols, and a diameter of 8,350 km. Orbits primary at 5.3 AU (orbital position (VII), 793 million km). (I) a rocky trace atmosphere world, (II) an exotic atmosphere world, and (III) a small gas giant form the outer system. All of the worlds retain satellites.

(I) Orash

(I) Orash is designated the mainworld and orbits primary at a mean distance of 0.16 AU (23.9 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 35 days 20 hours and a rotation period of 19.5 hours. The axial tilt is 31 degrees. World has a diameter of 6,527 km, a density of 5.72 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.53 G. Its atmosphere is rated as Very Thin, with a mean surface pressure of 0.17 bar and a composition of 81% nitrogen, 18% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Less than 1% of the surface is covered in lakes of liquid water. Mean surface temperature: XX°C. The atmosphere is sluggish and minor weather systems crawl across the globe. The climate is seasonal and weather patterns follow regular cycles during the local year.

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 134 million km², Land surface area: 133.5 million km², Water surface area: 0.5 million km².

Native lifeforms

History & Background (Dossier)

World starport

Orash has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the 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 only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World technology level

Orash possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
    • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
    • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
    • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World government

Orash is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
