Era: New Era

Fel is a barren fluid world with oceans of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, or hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.

  • This world has no overt population, government, or law level.
  • This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so... This world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left leaving behind the remnants of their civilization. It is a unclaimed Non-Aligned world in the Million Subsector of Deneb Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Fel has a solitary primary star.

System Data

Fel is a close satellite of the gas giant Ozazghuegknaz. This orbits Ikoed every 83 standard days.

n.b. Fel orbits inside the jump shadows of both the Gas Giant and the primary star

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Fel is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away. Fel is tidally locked with Ozazghuegknaz. It has an orbital period of about 16 days.

Fel has an equatorial diameter of 11,210 km and a circumference of 35210km.

Fel's surface gravity is actually 1.1 G. This means that much of its traffic has to be undertaken using the Highport in orbit about the planet as those ships with only 1G acceleration cannot land and take-off safely. Why the core is so much more dense than expected is not clear. The presence of the nearby Gas Giant would cause one to expect the surface gravity (per standard formation models) to have been at the lower end of the expected range - not well off the top of the high end.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Fel has an Exotic Atmosphere and possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks. Additionally, protective suits, while not necessary, are recommended. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world. It has a dense ammonia-based atmosphere and a pressure of 1.9 atmospheres at sea level.

It has an average temperature of 29 ºC.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Fel has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible. Ammonia seas cover 70% of its surface

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Fel has a number of small continents and one that spans from pole to pole. That latter continent encloses a freshwater sea of over 5,000,000 sq. km. The landforms are relatively low. No mountain over 4km high exists on the world, but the stresses of being so close to a Gas Giant do mean that there is considerable rifting. The world is volcanically active.

History & Background (Dossier)

General

Lurent planetoid ships may be found in the inner system, trading, or in the system’s Oort clouds refuelling.

Early History

Fel was part of a small Vargr state (Ksekgizoksdhaerzluenoe) with Talon (Deneb 2704) and Aerfor (Deneb 3104) (and others) in 100. This state had split into two by 210 when Fel and Aerfor (Deneb 3104) had created the Sandherroerghdoe Kaefoulto while Talon (Deneb 2704) and Fosfog (Deneb 2702) remained in the Ksekgizoksdhaerzluenoe. The Vargr Campaigns broke up the states but Fel was again part of a larger group (the Kloellnugdhungkidztse) by 420, this time with Fosfog (Deneb 2702).

These states were all broken up by the First Frontier War, a conflict that saw raiders from Fel and other Vargr worlds encroaching as far as Taproban (Deneb 3008), but repulsed.

Later History

The Vargr Enclaves on the mainworld are united under a single world government, the Republic of Fel, a surprisingly strong bureaucracy bolstered by charismatic leaders. The Republic in turn is a member of the United Followers of Augurgh, an interstellar federation of Vargr border worlds.

A careful balance of mining and manufacturing made Fel a reliable source of quality minerals and refined ores, and it is a 'supply' world for the United Followers of Augurgh. Although it has an unbreathable atmosphere and a low interstellar Tech Level, its unusual political stability and industrial reliability has made its government wealthy. In 1116 it had a substantial military fleet of:

  • 2x War Squadron
  • 2x Smuggler Squadron
  • 2x Defence Squadron
  • 5x Mercenary Squadron
  • 50x Letter of Marque Privateers

Arrival of Virus

Virus arrived in 1143 as part of the wave that entirely eliminated the United Followers of Augurgh as a political entity. Fel's entire population was destroyed at that time.
