Rydol is a barren water world with no overt population, government, or law level.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
• Any inhabitants of this world would need to live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Zebylono Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.

• It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.

	Remarks

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.

Mainworld Data

Rydol orbits towards the inner edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively high levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Rydol 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)

Rydol has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

• It experiences relatively high temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Rydol 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.

• The warm stormy seas are shrouded in fogs, steams, and hazes.

Satellites

Rydol retains two small moons.

• They orbit once every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

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

History & Background (Dossier)

Rydol 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.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: previously undocumented groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.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

Rydol 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 Demographics (P)

Rydol is unpopulated.

Urbanization

A pair of emergency shelters, constructed as part of the marked starport, located on a large island.

World Technology Level (T)
