Jump map from Travellermap.com

Ikhasha is a low-population garden world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts.

• It is a garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most forms of sophontic life.
• Both the population and economy of this world are expected to grow in the near future barring outside forces.
• It is a part of the Sath Exploration program in the Ikhasha Subsector of Gulf Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

• Warning: Humans are not welcome within Sath-controlled areas. Those few humans that venture into their territory are generally met with a hostile reception and are closely monitored at all times.

Astrography and Planetology

This world is part of the Hak'tha Spread, a small open cluster of systems lying to rimward-trailing of the Distant Fringe proper.

Ikhasha has a solitary primary star.

System data

The primary is Ikcha, an ordinary yellow main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.57 Sols, a mass of 0.894 Sols, and a diameter of 1.265 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum worldlet and (II) an insidious atmosphere inferno world. (III) Ikhasha orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a marginally habitable thin atmosphere world, (V) a large ringed gas giant, (VI) a small gas giant, (VII) a thin atmosphere radworld, (VIII) a sparse icy planetoid belt, (IX) a small ice giant, and (X) an exotic atmosphere bigworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

(III) Ikhasha

(III) Ikhasha is designated the mainworld and orbits Ikcha at a mean distance of 0.69 AU (103.22 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 221 days 10 hours and a rotation period of 53 hours. The axial tilt is 17 degrees. Ikhasha has a diameter of 9,584 km, a density of 6.21 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.84 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Dense, with a mean surface pressure of 1.96 bar and a composition of 81% nitrogen, 18% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 70% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.5m. Mean surface temperature: 23°C. The atmosphere is active and strong weather systems, driven by the star and the seas, sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal and weather patterns follow regular cycles during the local year.

Satellites:

Ikhasha retains two natural satellites, a pair of ice capped vacuum moons named Khaa'a and Skakk:

(IIIa) Khaa'a (UWP Y201000-0, orbiting at 30 Diameters/288,000 km)

(IIIb) Skakk (UWP Y101000-0, orbiting at 55 Diameters/527,000 km).

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 289 million km², Land surface area: 87 million km², Water surface area: 202 million km². Three rugged smaller continents lie in the northern hemisphere, a large continent straddles the equator, and a large mountainous continent lies in the southern hemisphere. There are a number of subcontinental landmasses, large islands, and chains of archipelagos. The world is geologically active: many regions have volcanic zones and seismic events such as earthquakes are relatively common.

Native lifeforms

Ikhasha is a garden world and has extensive and abundant native life. The local flora has a tendency towards thick tall stems and flat circular leaves: foliage is generally green in colour. Their metabolic functions power the process of atmospheric renewal. The majority of local fauna follows the body pattern Trilateral HS-TB-AN-LL-T, with cartilage interiors, slime fluids, and skin exteriors. Local lifeforms cannot be digested by Sath (or humans) without extensive processing to remove toxins.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World starport

Ikhasha 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

Ikhasha possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
  • Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
  • Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
  • Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.

World government

Ikhasha is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.
