Desh 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.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Nabile Subsector of Bourne Sector.

System Data

Bakan-Desh System

The primary is Bakan, an ordinary yellow main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.778 Sols, a mass of 0.96 Sols, and a diameter of 1.299 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum inner world, (II-I) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world, and (II-II) an exotic atmosphere bigworld. (III) Desh orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a thin atmosphere hospitable world, (V) an exotic atmosphere radworld, (VI) a sparse stony planetoid belt, (VII) a dense stony planetoid belt, (VIII) a ringed very large gas giant, and (IX) a trace atmosphere iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Mainworld Data

(III) Desh

(III) Desh is designated the mainworld. It orbits Bakan at a mean distance of 0.59 AU (88.3 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 168 days 23 hours and a rotation period of 21.5 hours. The axial tilt is 24 degrees. Desh has a diameter of 9,328 km, a density of 5.35 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.71 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, with a mean surface pressure of 0.89 bar and a composition of 77% nitrogen, 22% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 70% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.2m. Mean surface temperature: 25°C. The atmosphere is active and powerful weather systems driven by the star and the oceans drive across the globe. The climate is seasonal.

Satellite

Desh retains a single natural satellite, a cratered vacuum worldlet named Cal:

(IIIa) Cal (UWP Y200000-0, orbiting at 25 Diameters/230,000 km)

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 273 million km², Water surface area: 191 million km², Land surface area: 82 million km².

Native lifeforms

Desh has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
