Description / Specifications

No information yet available.

Orbital Definitions

Each orbit should be understood as a generalized band into which an astronomic object such as a planet, belt, or related object may occupy. There are no set distances for each orbit or band, which are determined by the star or stars centered the system.Orbital bands are typically measured in AU or Astronomical Units and the distance between bands is variable.

Orbits:

  • Orbit 0 represent an orbit extremely close to the sun and quite dangerous due to solar flares and the like. Only a Twilight Zone World could exist in that orbit and even that is not likely to be safe within the time spans of stars. they might be safe for settlement or mining within the time spans of sophonts, although only with very good technology or an unconventional lifeform suited to the extreme heat. Possibly under other rare conditions.
  • Orbits 1 to 6 represent the inner worlds of a system.
  • Symbolic orbit 6.5 HZ, the Habitable Zone is the Goldilocks area where conventional life has the greatest odds of developing.
  • Orbits 7 to 12 represent the outer worlds of a system.
  • Orbits 13 to 144 represent the remote system of Kuiper Belts and Trans-Neptunian Objects.
  • Orbits 145 to the edge of an astrographic hex or parsec represent the far system where Oort Clouds and the Hill Sphere is located.

Star System Locations

Includes the mainworld, satellites, and all other worlds within a system. In the case of polystellar systems, it may include all stars and their associated worlds.

Star System Locations
Type World Band Orbit Estimated Distance Location/s Solar Region Grav. Relationship Remarks
Star Very Rare 0 (zero) Center (zero) Star Star Source Astronomic but not astrographic centerpoint.
Inner System Inner Zone 1 to 6 Up to 42 Light Minutes HZ Neg Heliosphere Significant gravity Warmer Worlds
HZ Goldilocks Zone Variable (Orbit 6.5 Symbolically) Variable HZ Heliosphere Significant gravity Just right. Goldilocks Zone. Liquid water.
Outer System Outer Zone 7 to 12 Up to 42 Light Hours HZ Plus Heliosphere Significant gravity Colder worlds.
Remote System Rogue Worlds 13 to 144 Up to 2 Light Weeks Remote System Heliosphere to Heliopause to Interstellar Medium Insignificant gravity Kuiper Belt. Trans-Neptunian Objects.
Far System Rogue Worlds Orbit 145 to (3.27 parsecs) To limits of an area of a one Parsec volumetric cube Far System Interstellar Medium Very weak gravity Oort Cloud/s. Hill Sphere.
