Htoiyhaa is an icy, nonindustrial world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- It is a member of the Aslan Hierate Kyatulyare Vassal in the Keflin Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.
- 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.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)
Htoiyhaa has a solitary primary star.
- It is a red main sequence.
System Data
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x2 secondary rocky worlds.
- x3 gas giants.
Mainworld Data
Htoiyhaa is a Twilight Zone World.
- In the narrow region between permanent night and permanent day, the primary star eternally hangs on the horizon.
The mainworld orbits at the outer edge of the stars habitable zone.
- The world orbits far inside of the stars jump shadow, requiring long manoeuver times to or from a safe jump distance.
- The world is one of a resonant chain of planets that have related orbital periods.
Mainworld Size (S)
Htoiyhaa is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)
Htoiyhaa has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)
Htoiyhaa has 55-65% of its surface covered by ice, either in vast sheets or contained deep within craters or fractures on the surface. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants can be got by mining and melting ice.
- The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
- Large areas of the surface are cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving around 60% of the icy outer shell exposed.
- Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.

Mainworld Geography and Topography
No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.
- Locally, detailed maps may be available.
- Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
- Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms
Extensive sub-ice native life.
History & Background (Dossier)
The system is busy. Private groups and business interests are engaged in a range of activities.
- Commercial traffic is fairly frequent: ships regularly visit the system.
- Commo picks up constant signals and transmissions.
- A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
- A number of vessels may be operating within the system.
World Starport (St)
Htoiyhaa 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.

- Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
- Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
- Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
World Government (G)

- The human government code listed on star charts corresponds to Aslan Government Code J.

World Law (L)
Htoiyhaa 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.
