Perseverans 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 member of the Solomani Confederation in the Carcosa Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.
  • This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
  • This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Perseverans is a binary star system.

  • Both are orange main sequence stars.
Perseverans has two stars in the star system.

System Data

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

Mainworld Data

Perseverans is tidally locked to its primary star.

  • The star is always high in the sky on the bright face, it hangs on horizon in the twilight zone, while the cold dark face is in permanent darkness.
  • The world experiences libration - a regular wobble - as it orbits, causing the star to move in the sky.

It orbits within the inner region of the primary star's .

Chart H+ Region Mw.png

Mainworld Size (S)

Perseverans is a Big World between 13,600km and 15,200km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1G and 1.3G. The horizon will appear about 5.4km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Perseverans 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Perseverans has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice heavily tainted with other substances, which makes it dangerous, corrosive, or toxic. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

  • The water on the surface may be unsuitable for use or consumption without extensive filtering and purification.
  • Refining for fuel may cause issues with shipboard purification plants.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

Perseverans is tectonically active, and has high mountain ranges and many active volcanoes. It has a liquid ocean of water in a large crater at its northern pole. There are a series of large seas of "tar" spread out over much of the remaining surface. This tar is made up of hydrocarbon chains of molecules 20C or longer. The lighter hydrocarbons have largely vaporized and become the planetary atmosphere.

History & Background / Dossier

No information yet available.

World Starport

Perseverans has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

The downport is located next to the northern crater ocean; average atmosphere temperatures there are 26°C.

A mid-size orbital science facility is in geosynchronous orbit.

World Technology Level

Perseverans possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Advanced automobiles.
    • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
    • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
    • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government

Perseverans 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 Law Level

Perseverans has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.

World Demographics

Population: 600

Humaniti 100%

World Culture

The population is a loose federation of science teams.

World Language/s

Anglic, Quesadan Spanish

Urbanization

The science teams operate at various forward observation locations, with their administration remaining at the business office quadrant of the downport. The construction is generally high-temperature-resilient dome constructs to the north, transitioning to high-performance concretes to the south.

Historical Data

Perseverans was claimed and named by Cpt. Jon Smið (sic) of the colony vessel Waiferar (J4, over 4000t), as he provided the initial detailed scans.
