System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

The mainworld.
x8 secondary rocky worlds.

Mainworld Data

Ushiram is the moon of an insidious atmosphere fluid world.

600 px

The mainworld and its large primary world orbit within the outer system.

They receive very low levels of stellar energy.

They orbit beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Ushiram is a Small World between 900km and 2,400km in diameter. The world has very low gravity between 0.05G and 0.09G. The horizon will appear about 2km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Ushiram has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Ushiram has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
Much of the surface is cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving only around 10% of the icy outer shell exposed.
Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.

Satellites:

"Ushiram" is the moon of a large world.

Its larger primary is Mariush, an insidious atmosphere fluid world.
Mariush: UWP Y7B1000-0
It orbits its large primary world once every few weeks.

History & Background (Dossier)

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

World Starport (Sp)

Ushiram 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.

World Population (P)

This world has a population of 1,000 sophonts (thousands).

This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.

World Demographics

Population 4,000

Humaniti, population 95%
Other, population 5%

World Government (G)

Ushiram is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Law Level (L)

This world has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Technology Level (TL)

Ushiram possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
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.

Trade Data

Importance -1 (Unimportant)

The world hosts a commercial operations base for the Talokan Trade Authority.

The site includes a private spaceport.
The facility is guarded by corporate security.

Ushiram serves as a waystation to service vessels travelling between Holdo and Jend.

Following the Jaibok invasion and occupation of Jend, traffic through Ushiram has virtually disappeared.
The port has become a ghost town.
