Jump map from Travellermap.com

Planck is an icy, low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Nemo Subsector of Magyar Sector.

• This world has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
• This world has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.
• This world was once known as Jofil.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

This system is part of the New Libdis-Pindur Main, also known popularly as the Savage Main.

• A sturdy, granite world, Plank is the largest of a swarm of pieces that failed to coalesce because of the pull of gas giants on both sides.

Planck has a solitary primary star.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Planck is so small that it keeps all its water in an icy underground aquifer; all surface fluids and volatiles are long gone.

History & Background (Dossier)

Settled originally by scientists seeking a low-gravity world to set up their particle physics experiments, Planck (Magyar 0216) boasts one of the highest average IQs in the Solomani Sphere.

• It has also become the home of a unique genetic twist: about 85% of the inhabitants possess an eidetic memory.
• Written information is virtually unused here except to communicate with others off-planet.
• All data are passed orally and remembered perfectly there after.
• Of course, it is faster to enter numeric data by keying than by speaking, so computers have kept internal literacy up.
