Xylodo is a low population, fluidic hellworld of less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.
- A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Loran Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

System Data[edit]
Naxin System[edit]
The primary is Naxin, a white subgiant star. It has a luminosity of 13.4 Sols, a mass of 1.38 Sols, and a diameter of 2.922 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a very thin atmosphere inner world, (III) a dense atmosphere stormworld, (IV) a trace atmosphere worldlet, and (V) a very thin atmosphere worldlet. (VI) a dense rocky planetoid belt lies within the habitable zone. (VII) a ringed large gas giant, (VIII) a small gas giant, and (IX) a small ice giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Stroop-Xylodo Subsystem[edit]
The companion is Stroop, an ordinary orange main sequence star lying approximately 2350 AU distant from Naxin. It has a luminosity of 0.072 Sols, a mass of 0.5538 Sols, and a diameter of 783,000 km. (I) a vacuum worldlet orbits within the habitable zone. (II) a very thin atmosphere iceworld, (III) Xylodo, designated the mainworld, (IV) a sparse icy planetoid belt, (V) a large gas giant, (VI) a small gas giant, and (VII) a very thin atmosphere radworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(III) Xylodo[edit]
(III) Xylodo is designated the mainworld. It orbits Stroop at a mean distance of 0.81 AU (121.2 million km), within the outer system. It has an orbital period of 357 days 20 hours and a rotation period of 22.5 hours. The axial tilt is 12 degrees. Xylodo has a diameter of 14,144 km, a density of 5.61 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 1.13 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Corrosive, with a mean surface pressure of 47.1 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen (N2), 15% carbon dioxide (CO2), 4% methane (CH4), 1% azane (NH3), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen (H2), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. Approximately 16% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid methane kept fluid by the high atmospheric pressure and low surface temperatures: average tidal ranges exceed 0.1m. Mean surface temperature: -86°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems driven by the star scour the surface. The climate is seasonal.
Satellite[edit]
Xylodo retains a single natural satellite, a vacuum worldlet named Osilis:
- (IIIa) Osilis (UWP Y100000-0, orbiting at 7 Diameters/99,000 km)
Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
Total surface area: 628 million km², Land surface area: 527 million km², Fluid surface area: 101 million km².
Native Lifeforms[edit]
No world in the Xylodo system is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
No information yet available.
World starport[edit]
Xylodo 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[edit]
Xylodo 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[edit]
Xylodo 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.
World military[edit]
A Xadis class Patrol Ship has been seen on patrol in this system on a naval fleet intelligence dispatch collecting data on system activities. The High Senate has expressed an interest in maintaining system security. There is no standing native military force.
