Jump map from Travellermap.com

Arodir is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• 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.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Arodir Subsector of Far Home Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.

Arodir has a solitary primary star.

System Data

Alzana-Arodir System

The primary is Alzana, a red giant star. It has a luminosity of 2485 Sols, a mass of 8.3 Sols, and a diameter of 409.072 million km – the corona of the star extends to 1.37 AU, just within orbital position (V). The inner system consists of (V) a sparse stony planetoid belt, (VIII) a vacuum inner world, and (IX) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world – orbital positions (I) through (IV) lie within the star and orbital positions (VI) and (VII) are empty. (X-I) Arodir, designated the mainworld, and (X-II) an exotic atmosphere hospitable world, have a shared orbit within the habitable zone. (XI) an exotic atmosphere bigworld forms the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Mainworld data

(X-I) Arodir

(X-I) Arodir is designated the mainworld. It orbits Alzana at a mean distance of 51.2 AU (7.66 billion km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 127 years 60 days and a rotation period of 46 hours. The axial tilt is 38 degrees. Arodir has a diameter of 7,024 km, a density of 4.88 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.49 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.87 bar and a composition of 78% nitrogen (N₂), 20% oxygen (O₂), 1% argon (Ar), and 1% water vapor (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), ozone (O₃), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The atmospheric taint is caused by TBD. Approximately 56% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.3m. Mean surface temperature: 28°C. The climate is rated as Temperate-Warm and experiences major seasonal changes during the extremely long local year. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems driven by the star and the seas surge across the globe.

Mainworld Size (S)

This world is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

This world has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

This world has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellite

Arodir retains a single natural satellite, a cratered vacuum worldlet named Pashan:

(X-Ia) Pashan (UWP Y100000-0, orbiting at 15 Diameters/105,000 km)

Mainworld Geography and Topography

Total surface area: 155 million km², Water surface area: 87 million km², Land surface area: 68 million km².

Native Lifeforms

Alzana-Arodir System

Arodir, the mainworld, has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

The temperate-cool exotic atmosphere hospitable world lying in orbital position (X-II) has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms with bizarre biochemistries inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

No other world in the system is known to have native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World starport

Arodir has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World government

Arodir is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World technology level

Arodir possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Military

• Legion Advisors
• Arodir Defense Force
