Viechot is a barren hellworld, which would challenge the survival of nearly any sophont in Charted Space if it weren't already barren.

  • As a barren world, it has no overt population, government, or law level.
  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
  • This world could probably be populated by very determined colonists if any had an inclination to do so...
  • It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Itlolzedl Subsector of Chiep Zhez Sector.
  • This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Stellar Data[edit]

Viechot is a trinary star system.

  • All three are red main sequence stars.
    • The primary and the secondary are close companions.
Viechot has three stars in the star system.

System Data[edit]

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

Mainworld Data[edit]

Viechot has a circumbinary orbit, circling around the close binary primary and secondary stars and receiving their combined energy output.

It orbits towards the outer edge of their combined habitable zone.

Chart Orbit HZ- Region Detailed.png

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Viechot is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Viechot has a Corrosive Atmosphere and possesses a concentrated gas mix or unusual temperature which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit. TL–9 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Arrid World Type 02c.jpg

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Viechot has no free-standing fluids on the surface. What little surface fluid exists consists of exotic substances that are corrosive and highly toxic. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds.

Satellites[edit]

Viechot retains a single planetoid moon.

  • It orbits once every few days.

Alien Moon 133-0.jpg

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

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

Native Lifeforms[edit]

The world is not believed to harbor native life.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

Viechot is a wilderness, a wild and lonely place that almost never sees visitors. Most of the planets and moons within the system have never been visited by an intelligent being.

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

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.

Viechot does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Population (P)[edit]

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

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Viechot possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

  • The world has no technological base.

World Government (G)[edit]

Viechot has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

World Law (L)[edit]
