Jump map from Travellermap.com

Jaroo is a low-population desert world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts.

• This world has no free-standing water.
• 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 Ras Tennol Subsector of Far Home Sector.

Astrography and Planetology

This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.

• Jaroo is considered to be a component of the "Missing Link" Star Lane.

Jaroo has a solitary primary star.

System Data

Tilden-Jaroo System

The primary is Tilden, a hot white main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 45.6 Sols, a mass of 2.66 Sols, and a diameter of 3.284 million km. The inner system consists of (II) a vacuum worldlet, (IV) a trace atmosphere inner world, (V) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world, and (VI) a very thin atmosphere hospitable world – orbital positions (I) and (III) are empty. (VII) Manaxa, an exotic atmosphere stormworld orbits within the habitable zone: (VIIa) Jaroo is its only major satellite and is designated the mainworld. (VIII) a small gas giant, (IX) a dense icy planetoid belt, (X) a ringed large gas giant, and (XI) a small ice giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

(VII) Manaxa

(VII) Manaxa (UWP Y8A0000-0) is designated a stormworld. It orbits Tilden at a mean distance of 4.96 AU (742 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 6 years 283 days and a rotation period of 73.5 hours. The axial tilt is 16 degrees. Manaxa has a diameter of 13,137 km, a density of 5.65 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 1.06 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Exotic, with a mean surface pressure of 1.25 bar and a composition of 97% nitrogen (N₂), 2% carbon dioxide (CO₂), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H₂O), azane (NH₃), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The world has no hydrosphere. Mean surface temperature: 73°C. The atmosphere is very active and violent weather systems driven by the star scour the globe. The climate is seasonal.

Mainworld Data

(VIIa) Jaroo

(VIIa) Jaroo is the only major moon of (VII) Manaxa and is designated the mainworld. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 20 diameters (260,000 km), with an orbital period of 14 days 6 hours: it is tidally locked to Manaxa. The axial tilt is 5 degrees relative to Manaxa. Jaroo has a diameter of 7,104 km, a density of 6.21 g/cm³ and a surface gravity of 0.63 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Manaxa cause occasional geological activity. The atmosphere is rated as Standard, with a mean surface pressure of 0.85 bar and a composition of 78% nitrogen (N₂), 21% oxygen (O₂), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. Jaroo is a desert world: less than 1% of the surface is covered in lakes of liquid water. Mean surface temperature: 41°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems driven by the star sweep across the globe. The climate is static.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

Total surface area: 159 million km², Land surface area: 157.5 million km², Water surface area: 1.5 million km².

Native Lifeforms

Tilden-Jaroo System

Jaroo, the mainworld, has extensive native life, consisting of microscopic organisms, stromatolite-parallels and primitive flora that can be found in almost every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

No other world in the system is known to have native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World starport

Jaroo 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

Jaroo possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World government

Jaroo 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.
