Carasan is a pre-agricultural, rich world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts.
- It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
- Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly improve barring outside forces.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Demon's Eye Subsector of Far Home Sector.

System Data
Vensul-Carasan System
The primary is Vensul, an ordinary orange main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.352 Sols, a mass of 0.774 Sols, and a diameter of 1.168 million km. The inner system consists of (II) a trace atmosphere worldlet – orbital position (I) is empty, other than a few minor planetoids following eccentric orbits. (III) Carasan orbits in the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a very thin atmosphere hospitable world forms the outer system. Only Carasan retains a satellite.
Mainworld Data
(II) Carasan
(II) Carasan is designated the mainworld. It orbits Vensul at a mean distance of 0.69 AU (103.3 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 237 days 23 hours and a rotation period of 22.5 hours. The axial tilt is 20 degrees. Carasan has a diameter of 8,309 km, a density of 5.79 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.69 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, with a mean surface pressure of 0.94 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 68% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.3m. Mean surface temperature: 27°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems driven by the star and the seas sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal.
Satellites
Carasan retains two natural satellites, a trace atmosphere worldlet named Salacor and a cratered vacuum worldlet named Murit:
- (IIa) Name (UWP Y210000-0, orbiting at 25 Diameters/207,000 km)
- (IIb) Name (UWP Y100000-0, orbiting at 35 Diameters/291,000 km)
Mainworld Geography & Topography
Total surface area: 217 million km², Water surface area: 148 million km², Land surface area: 69 million km². The largest continent, representing approximately one half of the land surface of the world, sits directly under the northern pole: the remainder of Carasan's land area is made up of sub-continental islands and long archipelagos. The primary star and the twin moons cause huge oceanic tides, with average tidal ranges exceeding 10 m. The climate is generally cool and temperate, with temperatures averaging around 8ºC. There are extensive polar icecaps with glacial offshoots extending into the temperate zones.
- The supergiant primary of the Demon's Eye system and the huge Demon's Eye Nebula that surrounds it, lying a few parsecs to coreward-trailing, are clearly visible in the sky.
Native Lifeforms
Carasan has extensive, abundant native life, with organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Lush, verdant jungles swathe the equatorial regions while temperate forests and rolling grasslands clad cooler climes. Native fauna is varied and the apex lifeforms are generally large. Avian species are common and the skies are filled with dense flocks and soaring raptors.
History & Background / Dossier
Carasan is the homeworld of the Acara, a reclusive and philosophical Sophont species that tend to shun direct contact.
World Starport
Carasan 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
Carasan possesses a Technology Level of TL–4.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone and telegraphs, widespread printing.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Trains and early automobiles.
- Water: Clippers and steam ships.
- Air: Dirigibles, balloons, very basic rockets.
World Government
Carasan is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.
