Dinloc is a moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in population size.

• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Banderhue Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• It orbits the systems secondary star.
• 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 temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Dinloc is a binary star system.

• The primary is a huge orange giant named Pareeko.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.

Dinloc has two stars in the star system.

Notes

The two stars of the Dinloc system have an average separation of 700 AU and orbit a barycenter that lies between them.

• They have an orbital period around one another of approximately 8,800 standard years.
• The barycenter lies inside the giant primary star.

System Data

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

• The mainworld, orbiting the system's secondary star.
• x6 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Dinloc is tidally locked to the system's secondary 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 prime region of the secondary star's habitable zone.

• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Dinloc is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Dinloc has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences generally moderate temperatures within the twilight zone.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Dinloc has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

Dinloc possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C 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-3.

World Government (G)

Dinloc has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.
