Saturn (World) Synopsis
Saturn is a vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.
- Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sol Subsector of the Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.
Description
Saturn is a large gas giant in the Terran system in Sol Subsector of the Solomani Rim. Saturn is known for its beautiful ring system as well as several research bases on its frozen moons.
Saturn has 10 major satellites: Janus, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Phoebe.
- Enceladus, a satellite (moon) of Saturn, is home to the Huygens Astrophysical Outpost, which engages in classified work.
- Rhea, a satellite (moon) of Saturn, contains the underground Cassini base, currently used by the Scout Service but with spaceport facilities dating back to First Interstellar War. Rhea has a station that controls traffic in the outer system.
- Titan, a satellite (moon) of Saturn, is the largest and most exotic of Saturn’s moons, the second largest in the solar system.
- It has a dense nitrogen atmosphere, lakes of liquid hydrocarbons and a surface temperature of -179°C.
