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
The primary is Sydal, an active blue-white giant star. It has a luminosity of 8.1 Sols, a mass of 8.6 Sols, and a diameter of 6.456 million km. The inner system consists of (IV) a sparse stony planetoid belt, (V, VI) two small rocky vacuum worlds, and (VII) a large thin atmosphere desert world – orbital positions (I), (II) and (III) are empty. (VIII) Paradise orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld.
(VIII) Paradise
(VIII) Paradise is designated the mainworld and orbits Sydal at a mean distance of 10.6 AU (1.58 billion km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of XX years XXX days and a rotation period of 31.5 hours. The axial tilt is 18.5 degrees. Paradise has a diameter of 11,442 km, a density of 5.87 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.95G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Insidious, with a mean surface pressure of 2.5 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen, 17% chlorine, 3% fluorine, and 1% muriatic acid vapour and other trace gases. Approximately 34% of the surface is covered in seas of nitrogen trichloride (trichloramine): average tidal ranges exceed 0.75m. Mean surface temperature: 34°C. The atmosphere is extremely active and violent weather systems, powered by the system’s turbulent primary star, sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal and weather patterns follow regular cycles during the local year.
Mainworld geography and topography
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.
muriatic acid vapour and other trace gases., typically in high-altitude clouds: in colder climates it may condense into pools.
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 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.
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.
