Description (Planetology)

• This is a tidally-locked world with one side permanently locked to a gravity source and the other permanently facing away. Most commonly locked worlds are natural satellites of a larger planet or gas giant.

History & Background (Dossier)

Zukchurukh has a majority S'mrii population, first settled around -11,300 with sublight Ramships. The name is S’mrii for ‘navigational error’ as the initial scoutship believed initially that they had in some way come full circle and arrived back at Mimu, so alike did Zukchurukh initially appear to the home world. The illusion was shattered when it was realised that Zukchurukh was a tidally-locked world. It was still a prime S’mrii site. The Twilight band is much cooler at 185° Kelvin and the S’mrii have to live more towards the centre of the brightside.

There are human settlements in the system, mainly in the mining bases of the Ckur-ka belt and the Khu Trade Centre in orbit round the Vivka gas giant. The main world derives its wealth from production and research into medicine, genetics and cybertech, particularly in regard to climatic adaptation. There are drugs to overcome low oxygen atmospheres (aka altitude sickness), gene therapy for modifying sweat glands to become more effective (in high temperature environments) and cybertech implants/ hardening of body parts.

Half the human population and nearly a third of the S'mrii are followers of the Lancian culture.
