Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Orisido 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 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)

Orisido has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

  • The world experiences low temperatures.
  • Much of the surface is a frigid, hostile environment.
