Viechot is a barren hellworld, which would challenge the survival of nearly any sophont in Charted Space if it weren't already barren.

  • As a barren world, it has no overt population, government, or law level.
  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
  • This world could probably be populated by very determined colonists if any had an inclination to do so...
  • It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Itlolzedl Subsector of Chiep Zhez Sector.
  • This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Viechot is a trinary star system.

  • All three are red main sequence stars.
    • The primary and the secondary are close companions.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

Mainworld Data

Viechot has a circumbinary orbit, circling around both stars and receiving their combined energy output.

It orbits within their combined Habitable Zone.

  • It lies within the zones colder outer H- region.
  • It receives lower levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Viechot is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Viechot has a Corrosive Atmosphere and possesses a concentrated gas mix or unusual temperature which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit. TL–9 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Viechot has no free-standing fluids on the surface. What little surface fluid exists consists of exotic substances that are corrosive and highly toxic. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds.

Satellites

Viechot retains a single planetoid moon.

  • It orbits once every few days.
