Atmosphere Codes (AC) Classifications -> Summary Synopsis Paragraphs

Atmo Code	Statement (Summary Synopsis Paragraph)	Remarks
Vacuum Atmosphere	World has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres, which requires the use of a vacc suit. Vacuum requires a vacc suit.	TBD
Trace Atmosphere	World has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres, which requires the use of a vacc suit. Trace requires a vacc suit.	TBD
Very Thin Atmosphere & Tainted Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. It also has a Tainted Atmosphere which is a type of atmosphere known for possessing irritants that make it difficult or impossible for conventional sophonts to tolerate respiration for any length of time. This atmopshere requires a filter respirator combination.	TBD
Very Thin Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. This atmosphere requires a respirator.	TBD
Thin Atmosphere & Tainted Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. It also has a Tainted Atmosphere which is a type of atmosphere known for possessing irritants that make it difficult or impossible for conventional sophonts to tolerate respiration for any length of time. This atmosphere contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a filter mask.	TBD
Thin Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. No survival gear required.	TBD
Standard Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. No survival gear required.	TBD
Standard Atmosphere & Tainted Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. It also has a Tainted Atmosphere which is a type of atmosphere known for possessing irritants that make it difficult or impossible for conventional sophonts to tolerate respiration for any length of time. This atmosphere requires a filter mask.	TBD
Dense Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. No survival gear required.	TBD
Dense Atmosphere & Tainted Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. It also has a Tainted Atmosphere which is a type of atmosphere known for possessing irritants that make it difficult or impossible for conventional sophonts to tolerate respiration for any length of time. This atmosphere requires a filter mask.	TBD
Conventional Exotic Atmosphere	World has a pressure of variable atmospheres. It possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks, but protective suits are not needed.	TBD
Corrosive Atmosphere & Conventional Exotic Atmosphere	World has a pressure of variable atmospheres. This atmosphere possesses a concentrated gas mix or unusual temperature creates a corrosive environment, which requires the use of a Hostile environment suit or vacc suit.	TBD
Insidious Atmosphere & Conventional Exotic Atmosphere	World has a pressure of variable atmospheres. It requires the use of a Hostile environment suit or vacc suit. The atmosphere is similar to a corrosive atmosphere, but extreme conditions cause the corrosive effects to defeat any protective measures in 2 to 12 hours.	TBD
Dense Atmosphere & High Pressure Atmosphere & Unusual Exotic Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 2.5 or greater atmospheres. Typically no survival gear is required under many conditions. Pressure at or below sea level is too great to support life but is breathable at higher altitudes.	TBD
Ellipsoid Atmosphere & Unusual Exotic Atmosphere	World has a pressure of 0.5 or less atmospheres. Typically no survival gear is required under many conditions. The world’s surface is ellipsoidal, not spherical. Because the atmosphere remains spherical, surface atmospheric pressure ranges from very high at the middle to very low at the ends. Breathable bands may exist at some point within the range of pressure.	TBD
Thin Atmosphere & Low Pressure Atmosphere & Unusual Exotic Atmosphere	World has a pressure of variable atmospheres. Typically no survival gear is required under some conditions. This world is large and massive, with a thin atmosphere which settles to the lowest levels of the terrain. The atmosphere is un-breathable at most altitudes except the very low ones (…as in depressions or deep valleys).	TBD
