The Talak system has two inhabited planets, presumably both colonized by the same long-forgotten expedition.
Description (Specifications) [1][edit]
The system is centered on a solitary primary star named Nijet.
Talak has a solitary primary star. Nijet

System Data[edit]
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld, Talak, orbiting at 10.8 AU.
- x2 secondary rocky worlds. These are inhabited Vahjdi, orbiting at 8.7 AU, and corrosive atmosphere Monkodo, orbiting at 14.2 AU.
- x1 large gas giant, Galsimar, orbiting at 18.7 AU.
- It retains a number of large moons.
- x1 planetoid belt, the Kasama Belt, lying at a mean distance of 25.0 AU.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Talak[edit]
Talak, the second world out from the star and the mainworld of the system, has an orbital period of 18 years 335 days (6,909 standard days).
Vahjdi[edit]
The innermost world, Vahjdi, has an orbital period of 13 years 247 days (4,995 standard days). It has a very slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 70 standard days (almost 1700 standard hours).
- There are 71.4 local days in a local year.
- During the local day, the world experiences around 100 hours of dawn, 750 hours of daylight, 100 hours of twilight, and 750 hours of night.
It retains a fairly close, relatively large moon that orbits once every standard week.
- Vahjdi experiences libration, a characteristic wobble with a frequency of 33 hours, caused by the moon and the mainworld orbiting their barycenter.
- This wobble causes the star to rise and fall in the sky during the long local day, giving brighter and darker periods.
