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

Mainworld Data[edit]

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

  • It lies within the zone's prime H region.
  • It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Buna is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Buna has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require 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)[edit]

Buna has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

Satellites[edit]

Buna retains two small vacuum moons.

  • They orbit once every few weeks.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Abundant aquatic native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Buna is a frontier, a wild and lonely place that rarely sees visitors. Many of the planets and moons within the system have never been visited by an intelligent being. Buna had a small human population that disappeared following the arrival of the Aslan Ihatei in the region.

  • Information about the system is limited.
  • The resources of the system are untapped.

There is normally no activity within the system.

  • Commercial traffic is extremely rare: the system sees very few visiting ships.
  • Commo only picks up natural background noise and static.
  • A single commercial navigation beacon may be active.
  • Vessels are unlikely be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: previously undocumented groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.

  • Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Buna has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Buna is a Barren World with no sophont population. It may still possess lifeforms.

Urbanization[edit]

A few ruined structures and compounds remain on the world.

  • The ruins are located on a single archipelago.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Buna has a die back Tech Level of TL–3.

  • It's Tech Level was higher when it was settled but over time the remains have degraded.
  • The world has no functioning technological base.

Salvage

  • Remains on this world include processed raw materials, metals and alloys, and intact mechanical components.
    • These may be salvaged.

World Government (G)[edit]

Buna has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

World Law (L)[edit]

Buna has no law level. No laws of any kind are enforced.
