Qatan is a poor, nonindustrial world.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- This world has few prospects for economic development.
- It is a member of The Last Line in the Tsorva Subsector of Halcyon Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.
Astrography and Planetology
The Qatan system is a part of the Vey Trace.

System data
The primary is Muncible, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.04 Sols, a mass of 0.489 Sols, and a diameter of 764,000 km. (I) Qatan orbits in the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (II, III) two small rocky vacuum worlds, (IV) an exotic atmosphere world, and (V) a small icy vacuum world form the outer system. Only the exotic atmosphere world has satellites.
The companion is Rand, a dim red subdwarf star. It orbits Muncible at a distance of 9.8 AU (orbital position (VIII), 1.466 billion km) and has an orbital period of 43.8 years. It has a luminosity of 0.011 Sols, a mass of 0.154 Sols, and a diameter of 356,000 km. (I, II) two small icy vacuum worlds and (III) an exotic atmosphere world form the outer system. None of the worlds have satellites.
(I) Qatan
(I) Qatan is designated the mainworld and orbits primary at a mean distance of 0.21 AU (31.4 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 50 days 6 hours and a rotation period of 35 hours. The axial tilt is 5.5 degrees. Qatan has a diameter of 7,814 km, a density of 5.72 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.63 G. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, with a mean surface pressure of 0.54 bar and a composition of 77% nitrogen, 22% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 18% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.25m. Mean surface temperature: XX°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems, driven by the star, drive across the globe. The climate is static.

History & Background (Dossier)
- A former member of the Corolian Jurisdicture.
World starport
Qatan has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Qatan 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
Qatan is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
