Notes

The primary and secondary stars are a binary pair that have an average separation of 35 AU from one another.

• They have an orbital period around one another of 145 standard years.

The tertiary and quaternary stars are a binary pair that have an average separation of 12 AU from one another.

• They have an orbital period around one another of 49 standard years.

The two binary pairs orbit a barycenter – their mutual center of mass – at an average separation of 225 AU.

• The two binary pairs have an orbital period around one another of approximately 2,000 standard years.

System Data

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

• The mainworld. It is a major moon of a gas giant orbiting the system's secondary star.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds. Three orbit the secondary star, two orbit the tertiary star.
• x2 planetoid belts. One orbits the primary star, one orbits the quaternary star.
• x3 gas giants. Two orbit the secondary star, one orbits the tertiary star.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Quatuor is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Quatuor has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. While a Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Quatuor has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

World Starport

Quatuor has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level

Quatuor possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-2.

World Government

Quatuor is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.
