Hwualr is an icy, nonindustrial world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by Aslan sophonts located in the Trichal Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x9 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.

Mainworld Data

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

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Hwualr is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

• Tidal stresses generated by the moon heat the interior of the world.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Hwualr has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences low temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Hwualr has 05-25% of its surface covered by ice, either in vast sheets or contained deep within craters or fractures on the surface. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants can be got by mining and melting ice.

• The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
• Much of the surface is cratered and covered in thick layers of regolith and dust of meteoric origin, leaving only a small amount of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell there is known to be a world-ocean of liquid water.

Satellites

Hwaulr retains a single small close moon.

• It orbits once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Blank map, trace atmosphere world.)

Native Lifeforms

Primitive sub-ice native life is known to exist.

History & Background (Dossier)

This world has been settled by ihatei Aslan, moving to spinward along the edge of the Great Rift in search of new territories.

• Settlement began sometime between the year 1000 and the 1060s.
• Prior to settlement, Hwualr was a barren world.

The system's huge primary star causes interference, strange tones and noises, and heavy static on commo and sensors.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport

Hwualr has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the 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 only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Languages

• Trokh: The universal language of the modern Aslan monoculture.
  • Aslan Languages: Note that some Aslan clans retain obscure or archaic languages for personal use in addition to Trokh.

World Technology Level

Hwualr possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Government

Hwualr is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.
