Paradise has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Paradise Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

System data
Sydal, the system primary, is an active blue-white giant star. It retains a family of three rocky planets and a single small gas giant world. Paradise orbits Sydal at a mean distance of 9.7 AU.
Mainworld data
Paradise is a large world with a slightly above average density and a surface gravity of 0.95G. Its atmosphere is rated as insidious and has a relatively high surface pressure (more than 2.5 bar). It is primarily composed of nitrogen with large percentages of chlorine and fluorine. There are significant traces of muriatic acid vapour, typically in high-altitude clouds: in colder climates it may condense into pools. Paradise is a relatively temperate world with mean surface temperatures of around 20°C, though this varies by latitude and by season. The atmosphere is violent and active, powered by the system’s turbulent primary star. The murky green skies are churned by high-speed winds and lit by endless flashes of lightning.
Nitrogen trichloride – trichloramine – is created within the atmosphere both by energy from the star and by chemical reactions powered by lightning. It falls as precipitation to form oily yellow seas. When the wind drops the air fills with dense chemical mists and fogs that drift off of the trichloramine pools and lakes and hang over the land.
Paradise is geologically active, flexed both by the gravitational pull of the huge primary star and by its close moon. Seismic activity across the world constantly reveals new land surfaces and opens new faults. Around volcanic outlets there are streams and pools of sulphur dichloride, which gradually degrades into other compounds and gases. The surface of Paradise is crusted with massive amounts of salts, chlorides, and other more exotic substances, formed by the atmospheric gases reacting with exposed minerals and compounds.

Native lifeforms
The world has extensive native life. Most of the land surface is covered in dense networks of ‘plants’, sedentary but fast-growing organisms ranging from the microscopic to many kilometers across. These ingest the various salts and compounds and break them down, absorbing nutrients and releasing vast amounts of chlorine gas back into the atmosphere – enough to maintain a cycle of atmospheric renewal. Slightly more mobile ‘animals’ graze on these plants and prey upon each other, though the distinction between flora and fauna is blurred at best.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Paradise has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Paradise possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
- Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-2.
World government
Paradise has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.
