Jump map from Travellermap.com

Jekyll is a poor, nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ushra Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• During the Long Night this world was named Gipu Irim.

Description

The name is taken from an ancient Terran novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, given by the Solomani who settled on this world. It is a story of a doctor who uses drugs to change his personality to open up and release his darker side. The analogy was drawn when the settlers first experienced the wildly fluctuating climate. At the equator the summer temperature switches from 65ºC to -11ºC between day and night. At the same latitude the temperature changes between 65ºC and -64ºC from summer to winter. There are more extreme fluctuations at higher latitudes. This has kept colonization to a minimum, but the world is well served with a class A starport as Jekyll is an important transport nexus within the subsector.

Jekyll has two stars in the star system.
