The primary is Telec, a red giant star. It has a luminosity of 2485 Sols, a mass of 469.7 Sols, and a diameter of 409 million km: the corona of the star lies at approximately 1.37 AU, just within orbital position (V).

(X) Scirta orbits within the [[habitable zone]] and is designated the [[mainworld]]. (XI) a dense atmosphere bigworld, (XII) a very thin atmosphere radworld, and (XIII) a trace atmosphere iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

System Data

Telec-Scirta System

The primary is Telec, a red giant star. It has a luminosity of 2485 Sols, a mass of 469.7 Sols, and a diameter of 409 million km: the corona of the star lies at approximately 1.37 AU, just within orbital position (V). The inner system consists of (VI) a vacuum worldlet, (VII) a thin atmosphere inner world, (VIII) an exotic atmosphere stormworld, and (IX) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world – orbital positions (I) through (IV) lie within the star and orbital position (V) is empty. (X) Scirta orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (XI) a dense atmosphere bigworld, (XII) a very thin atmosphere radworld, and (XIII) a trace atmosphere iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Mainworld Data

(X) Scirta

(X) Scirta is designated the mainworld. It orbits Telec at a mean distance of 40.4 AU (6.03 billion km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 11 years 310 days and a rotation period of 41.5 hours. The axial tilt is 22 degrees. Scirta has a diameter of 5,128 km, a density of 5.22 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.38 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.51 bar and a composition of 69% nitrogen, 30% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the high percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 38% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.1m. Mean surface temperature: 4°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems driven by the star and the seas cross the surface. The climate is seasonal.

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 83 million km², Land surface area: 51 million km², Water surface area: 32 million km².

Native lifeforms

Scirta has abundant native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World starport

Scirta has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

World technology level

Scirta possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

World government

Scirta is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
