Wither is a poor, barren desert world with no overt population, government, or law level.

  • This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
  • This is a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Stellar Data[edit]

Wither has a solitary primary star.

  • It is a red main sequence.
Wither has a solitary primary star.

Remarks The star has an unusually high metallicity.

System Data[edit]

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

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Wither 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]

Wither has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

  • Oxygen is produced by photocatalytic conversion of surface materials by stellar energy.
  • Fresh surface material is constantly exposed through processes such as seismic activity, volcanism, or erosion.
  • The oxygen rapidly depletes from the atmosphere through oxidization with surface materials: a rough equilibrium between production and depletion exists.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Wither 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.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

All native life is extinct. Before the disaster that struck the world occurred, the planet appears to have had abundant native life.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

Wither is a Forbidden World and is designated as a Red Zone. It presents serious risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors.

  • Travel to this world is prohibited.
The Wither mainworld is a wreck. A brief scan and a personal visual of the mass showed what was once a medium-sized world that has apparently collapsed around a huge hole that was bored thru it. It's like an energy beam 1000 km width in diameter just cut clean through the planet, taking out a specific chunk. Gravity then forced the remainder to collapse around that hole and hydrostatic equilibrium rounded it, though barely.

Other scans are inconclusive in light of that catastrophe. Atmosphere, hydro...there's no way to know the original values from what the sensors picked up.

There appear to be ships patrolling here but with no IFF. They're maintaining their distance but I'm assuming they're not friendly.

I repeat, it's a wreck.

Memoirs of a Casual Traveller

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Solomani State and the well-being of its loyal citizens.

World Population (P)[edit]

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

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Wither possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

  • The world has no technological base.

World Government (G)[edit]

Wither has no government or ruling authority of any kind.

World Law (L)[edit]
