System Data

Vensul, the system primary, is an ordinary orange main sequence star. It has a family of three rocky worlds and a few minor

asteroids following eccentric orbits. The inner and the outer planets are balls of cratered rock with trace atmospheres. Carasan

is the largest world within the system and the only one to retain a complex atmosphere. It is also the only world that retains

satellites.

Mainworld Data

II Carasan and its close twin moons, Salacor and Murit, orbit Vensul at a mean distance of 0.7 AU. The planet is a medium-sized

body with an above average density and a surface gravity of nearly 0.8G. It is geologically active and seismic events are common.

The world is abundant in metals and minerals of all kinds. Carasan has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere containing significant traces

of argon and carbon dioxide. It is rated as standard, with a mean surface pressure of 0.8 bar. It has oceans of liquid water that

cover nearly 75% of the surface.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

The largest continent, representing approximately one half of the land surface of the world, sits directly under the northern

pole: the remainder of Carasan's land area is made up of sub-continental islands and long archipelagos. The primary star and the

twin moons cause huge oceanic tides, with average tidal ranges exceeding 10 m. The climate is generally cool and temperate, with

temperatures averaging around 8ºC. There are extensive polar icecaps with glacial offshoots extending into the temperate zones.

Native Lifeforms

Carasan has extensive native life. Lush, verdant jungles swathe the equatorial regions while temperate forests and rolling

grasslands clad cooler climes. Native fauna is varied and the apex lifeforms are generally large. Avian species are common and the

skies are filled with dense flocks and soaring raptors.
