Turaak is an icy, non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen and warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Naav Subsector of Spica Sector.

Description / Astrography & Planetology

Turaak is a binary star system with a primary A1 V star and a secondary M9 V star. The two stars orbit a barycenter 0.51 AU distant from the primary star in an orbital period of 35.3 years. 8 planets orbit the primary star and 2 planets orbit the secondary star. An additionally 3 planets orbit the combined system.

Mainworld Data

Turaak is the eighth planet in orbit around the primary A1 V star with an average distance of 4.7 AU. The planet orbits the star every 7 years and has a day length of 40 hours.

Mainworld Size (S)

This world is a Small World between 900km and 2,400km in diameter. The world has very low gravity between 0.05G and 0.09G. The horizon will appear about 2km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

This world has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

This world has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Government

For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Technology Level (TL)

This world possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.
