  • The primary is an orange main sequence.
  • The secondary is a red main sequence.
Romar has two stars in the star system.

It orbits towards the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.

Chart Orbit HZ- Region Detailed.png

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Romar 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)[edit]

Romar has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Romar has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

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

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Primitive native life occupying a wide range of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

  • Native lifeforms are cryophilic extremophiles - they thrive in very dry conditions and very low temperatures.
  • The world is home to a number of species of imported flora and fauna.

Romar is notable as the source of the narcotic Dustspice, much prized by the Aslan and a major cause of Aslan trans-rift migration after 380.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

World Starport (St)[edit]

Romar 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 Population (P)[edit]

Romar has a population of 10,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
  • The world contains a small Aslan population (less than 500 individuals) that is known to have been on-world since at least 454.
