Ice Veil is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and nonindustrial in nature.

  • These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • The worldlets require 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Annistu Subsector of Far Home Sector.

System data

Gorkus-Ice Veil System

The primary is Gorkus, an orange subgiant star. It has a luminosity of 4.67 Sols, a mass of 2.3 Sols, and a diameter of 4.59 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a trace atmosphere worldlet, (II) a trace atmosphere inner world, (III) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world, and (IV) an exotic atmosphere stormworld. (V-I) an exotic atmosphere radworld and (V-II) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world have a shared orbit within the habitable zone. (VI) a ringed large gas giant, (VII) the Ice Veil main belt, designated the mainworld, (VIII) a dense icy planetoid belt, and (IX) a small gas giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Shaden Subsystem

The companion is Shadan, a magenta-coloured L-type brown dwarf lying approximately 940 AU from Gorkus. It is not luminous, it has a mass of 0.064 Sols and a diameter of 60,000 km. It retains no planetary bodies.

  • 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

Ice Veil is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.
