Farin is a poor, non-agricultural and industrial high-population hellworld with a billion or more sophonts who still struggle to survive in an inhospitable environment.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
- It is a member of the Esaran Cultural Area in the Farin Subsector of Halcyon Sector.
Description / Astrography & Planetology
- This world lies on the Rasand Link Star Lane.

System Data
Emarro-Farin System
The primary is Emarro, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.04 Sols, a mass of 0.489 Sols and a diameter of 764,000 km. (I) Farin orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (II) a trace atmosphere iceworld, (III) a thin atmosphere bigworld, (IV) a large ringed gas giant, and (V) a sparse stony planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Zuzal Subsystem
The companion is Zuzal, an ordinary red main sequence star that lies approximately 79.4 AU from Emarro (orbital position (X), 11.9 billion km). It has a luminosity of 0.034 Sols, a mass of 0.457 Sols and a diameter of 711,000 km. (I) a dense atmosphere stormworld orbits within the habitable zone. (II) a vacuum iceworld, (II) a small ringed gas giant, (III) a small ice giant, and (IV) a planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
- The two stars orbit a barycenter located at around 5.9 AU (orbital position (VII), 882 million km) and have an orbital period around one another of 14 years 268 days.
(I) Farin
(I) Farin is designated the mainworld. It orbits Emarro at a mean distance of 0.21 AU (31.4 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 50 days 6 hours: it is tidally locked to the star. The axial tilt is 8 degrees. Farin has a diameter 7,785 km, a density of 5.65 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.63 G. Tidal forces flex the world and cause geological activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Very Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.31 bar and a composition of 85% nitrogen, 13% oxygen, 1% carbon dioxide, and 1% argon, water vapour, neon and other trace gases. The atmospheric taint is caused by the very low percentage of oxygen. Approximately 18% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.5m. Mean surface temperature: 24°C. The atmosphere is sluggish and minor weather systems driven by the star cross the globe. The climate is static.
Mainworld geography and topography
Total surface area: 190 million km², Land surface area: 156 million km², Water surface area: 34 million km².
Native Lifeforms
No information yet available.
History & Background / Dossier
Farin is an Esaran colony with a population that now exceeds that of the homeworld. The planet is marginally habitable: within the subsurface city-states space is at a premium. Each city-state is funding large-scale building programs, and demand for construction materials is at an all-time high.
World Starport
Farin 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
Farin possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A 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: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
- Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
- Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-1.
World Government
Farin 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.
