Sytak is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-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 rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
  • It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
  • It is a subject world of the Korsumug Empire located in the Siridor Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.
  • 100% of the population is composed of Jaibok.

System Data

A diagram indicating the positions of all of the major worlds and satellites in the system.

Primary System

  • x1 Mainworld. This is the outer moon of the outer gas giant world and lies within the habitable zone.
  • x2 Secondary rocky worlds.
  • x1 Planetoid belt (very sparse and very wide, considered to be the shattered remains of inner system worlds).
    • The belt contains three very large (Size Code 1) spherical planetoids.
  • x2 Gas giant worlds.
    • One hot gas giant (HGG) orbiting very close to the star.
      • The atmosphere is gradually boiling away and material streams off of its surface, carried outwards by the stellar wind. It has a 36 hour orbital period around the star.
    • One large gas giant (LGG) orbiting within the habitable zone.

Secondary System
630 AU (3.64 light days) distant.

The three rocky worlds have an orbital resonance of 5:3:2 with one another. For every two orbits the outermost of the three worlds completes, the middle world completes exactly three orbits, and the inner world completes exactly five orbits.

Mainworld Data

Sytak has been designated the mainworld.

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 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

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.

Satellites:

None.
