Fyce is an icy, low-population world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.
- Its surface is ice-capped with nearly all of its water frozen.
- This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
- It is a member of the Dependent Worlds in the Cradle Subsector of Halcyon Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

System data
The primary is Aarin, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0202 Sols, a mass of 0.3942 Sols, and a diameter of 604,000 km. The outer system consists of (I) a large gas giant, (II) Hobart, a thin atmosphere radworld: (IIa) Fyce is its only satellite and is designated the mainworld, (III) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, (IV) a vacuum iceworld, (V) a small gas giant, (VI) a small ice giant, and (VII) a sparse icy planetoid belt. Most of the worlds in the system retain satellites.
(II) Hobart
(II) Hobart (UWP Y6A0000-0) orbits Aarin at a mean distance of 0.42 AU (62.8 million km), within the outer zone. It has an orbital period of 158 days 8 hours and a rotation period of 18 hours 45 minutes. The axial tilt is 16 degrees. Hobart has a diameter of 9752 km, a density of 5.71 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.79 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Exotic, with a mean surface pressure of 1.44 bar and a composition of 96% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen and 1% argon, neon and other trace gases. There are no hydrographics. The surface and atmosphere of Hobart are extremely radioactive with emission rates exceeding 100 rads per hour. Mean surface temperature: 12°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems, driven by the star, sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal and the environment follows regular patterns during the local year.
(IIa) Fyce
(IIa) Fyce is the only moon of Hobart and is designated the mainworld. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 12 diameters (117,000 km), with an orbital period of 4 days 23 hours: it is tidally locked to Hobart. It has an axial tilt of 2 degrees. Fyce has a diameter of 3013 km, a density of 4.88 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.21 G. The world is flexed by tidal stresses and is geologically extremely active. Its atmosphere is rated as Trace, with a mean surface pressure of 0.02 bar and a composition of 99% carbon dioxide and 1% argon, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 12% of the surface is covered in sheets of water-ice. Mean surface temperature: -112°C. The world has a static climate and no seasons.

World starport
Fyce has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Fyce possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
- Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
- Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
- Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
- FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.
World government
Fyce has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
