The system primary is the Demon's Eye, a massive blue supergiant star. It has a luminosity of 13,000 Sols, a mass of 14.2 Sols and a diameter of 73.7 million km – the corona extends to 0.49 AU, beyond orbital position (II). It retains no planetary system and is surrounded by the [[Demon's Eye Nebula]], a cloud of ionised gases. The gases consist of about 90% hydrogen, with the remainder made up of helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and other heavier elements. The clouds have a mean density of 10<sup>3</sup>–10<sup>6</sup> particles/cm³. The Demon's Eye shows a variety of spectroscopic and photometric variation, and in the past has displayed periodic outbursts and occasional much larger eruptions – it is these that created the surrounding nebula.

Demon's Eye is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and barren in nature with no overt population, government, or law level.


Astrography and Planetology

The Demon's Eye system lies at the center of the Demon's Eye Nebula.

Demon's Eye has three stars in the star system.

System data

The system primary is the Demon's Eye, a massive blue supergiant star. It has a luminosity of 13,000 Sols, a mass of 14.2 Sols and a diameter of 73.7 million km – the corona extends to 0.49 AU, beyond orbital position (II). It retains no planetary system and is surrounded by the Demon's Eye Nebula, a cloud of ionised gases. The gases consist of about 90% hydrogen, with the remainder made up of helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and other heavier elements. The clouds have a mean density of 103–106 particles/cm³. The Demon's Eye shows a variety of spectroscopic and photometric variation, and in the past has displayed periodic outbursts and occasional much larger eruptions – it is these that created the surrounding nebula.

  • The last major outburst event, which included an anomalous, intensely powerful burst of radio signals, was in 4049AD, at the end of the Dark Age. It was recorded by astronomical observation on survivor worlds across the Distant Fringe and corresponds exactly with the events surrounding the Incursion of 4498. Since then the Demon's Eye has remained remarkably stable.

The companion is Lachrymal, a white giant star lying approximately 2500 AU from the Demon's Eye. It has a luminosity of 47 Sols, a mass of 6.2 Sols and a diameter of 24 million km – the corona extends to as 0.15 AU, nearly as far as orbital position (I). It retains Meelo, a red main sequence companion which orbits at a mean distance of 0.73 AU (109 million km) with an orbital period of 91 days 12 hours. Meelo has a luminosity of 0.0045 Sols, a mass of 0.273 Sols and a diameter of 389,000 km. Neither star retains a planetary system. They are surrounded by the gas and dust clouds of the Demon's Eye Nebula.

Native lifeforms

No life is known to exist within the Demon's Eye system.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World starport

Demon's Eye 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 technology level

Demon's Eye possesses a Technology Level of TL–0.

  • These worlds often contain a Proto-Sophont species beginning to establish a nascent civilization and society.
  • This world is in its Alpha Period and has not yet been interfered with by a higher technology civilization.
  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Bodily communicative apparati, courier-runners, and smoke signals.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Bodily muscle.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Bodily locomotion, riding beasts, and litters or sedan chairs.
    • Water: Swimming, rafts, and canoes.
    • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability.

World government

Demon's Eye has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
