Magada is an icy, low-population world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.
- Its surface is ice-capped with nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is a member of the Firstworlds in the Esqua Subsector of Far Home Sector.

System Data
Ballan System
The primary is Ballan, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0202 Sols, a mass of 0.3942 Sols, and a diameter of 604,000 km. (I) a vacuum iceworld, (II) an exotic atmosphere radworld, and (III) a vacuum iceworld form the outer system. None of the worlds retain satellites.
Orith-Magada System
The companion is Orith, a dim red main sequence star. Ballan and Orith orbit their barycenter at a mean separation of 3 AU (449.2 million km) and have an orbital period around one another of 6 years 40 days. Orith has a luminosity of 0.007 Sols, a mass of 0.331 Sols, and a diameter of 498,000 km. (I) a vacuum iceworld, (II) a vacuum iceworld, and (III) Ramuka, a large gas giant: (IIIc) Magada is its largest satellite and is designated the mainworld form the outer system. Only Ramuka retains satellites.
(III) Ramuka
(III) Ramuka is a large gas giant that orbits Orith at a mean distance of 0.68 AU (101.7 million km), within the habitable zone, and has an orbital period of 356 days. It has a diameter of 212,000 km and is a faintly banded pale green colour. It retains a family of five major satellites of which the third, (IIIc) Magada, is designated the mainworld.
Mainworld Data
(IIIc) Magada
(IIIc) Magada is the third of the five major moons of (III) Ramuka and is designated the mainworld. Magada orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 35 diameters (7.42 million km). It has an orbital period of 3 years 133 hours and a rotation period of 65 hours. The axial tilt is 3 degrees. Magada has a diameter of 6,217 km, a density of 4.65 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.41 G. The world is flexed by tidal forces and is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Trace, with a mean surface pressure of 0.04 bar and a composition of 98% nitrogen, 1% methane and 1% water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other trace gases. Approximately 11% of the surface is covered in water-ice. Mean surface temperature: -205°C.
Mainworld geography and topography
Total surface area: 121 million km², Land surface area: 108 million km², Ice surface area: 13 million km².
Native lifeforms
No world within the Magada system is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Magada 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
Magada possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
- Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
- Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
- Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
- FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.
World government
Magada has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
