Perseverans is a low population, fluidic hellworld of less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.
- A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
- This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
- This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
- It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Epsilon Tauri Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Mainworld Data
Perseverans is a hot, large-standard world with a dense atmosphere of hydrocarbons.
Mainworld Geography & Topography
Perseverans lies relatively close to the K2 primary on the hot edge of the life zone.
It is tectonically active, and has high mountain ranges and many active volcanoes.
Perseverans has a liquid ocean of water in a large crater at its northern pole. There are a series of large seas of "tar" spread out over much of the remaining surface. This tar is made up of hydrocarbon chains of molecules 20C or longer. The lighter hydrocarbons have largely vaporized and become the planetary atmosphere.
Temperatures in the mid-latitudes are over 70°C.

World Starport
Perseverans 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.
The downport is located next to the northern crater ocean; average atmosphere temperatures there are 26°C.
A mid-size orbital science facility is in geosynchronous orbit.
World Technology Level
Perseverans possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Advanced automobiles.
- Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
- Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
- Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
World Government
Perseverans 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.
World Law Level
Perseverans has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.

Humaniti 100%
World Culture
The population is a loose federation of science teams.
World Language/s
Anglic, Quesadan Spanish
Urbanization
The science teams operate at various forward observation locations, with their administration remaining at the business office quadrant of the downport. The construction is generally high-temperature-resilient dome constructs to the north, transitioning to high-performance concretes to the south.
Historical Data
Perseverans was claimed and named by Cpt. Jon Smið (sic) of the colony vessel Waiferar (J4, over 4000t), as he provided the initial detailed scans.
