Condyole is a nonindustrial, fluidic hellworld with a population 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.
• 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.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Jewell Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.

• It is the homeworld of the Vexx, a minor human race.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x4 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Condyole is a hellworld with seas of tainted liquid water.

Mainworld Size (S)

Condyole is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Condyole has an Exotic Atmosphere and possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks. Additionally, protective suits, while not necessary, are recommended. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• The world has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, but with a low oxygen "taint" and very high surface pressures (in excess of 3.5 atm).
• It experiences very high temperatures.
• The atmosphere contains significant traces of gases of volcanic origin, including sulfur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and hydrogen fluoride (HF).

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Condyole has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice heavily tainted with other substances, which makes it dangerous, corrosive, or toxic. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

• The water on the surface may be unsuitable for use or consumption without extensive filtering and purification.
• Refining for fuel may cause issues with shipboard purification plants.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

(Blank map, exotic world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant exotic native life occupying a wide range of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

Native Sophont

Condyole is the homeworld of the Vexx, a troglodytic minor human race placed on the world by the Ancients. Little is known about them.

History & Background (Dossier)

Although Non-Aligned, the system's location behind the Riverland Wall gives the Zhodani Consulate more access than the Third Imperium.

Urbanization

The Vexx inhabit crowded underground habitats.

Later Historical Eras

History-Era: Milieu 1120

Condyole is a pirates’ den that has recently fallen under the control of Vargr organized crime.

History-Era: New Era

Condyole is a minor Spinward State not within the envelope of the Zhodani, Regency, and Aslan spheres of influence. The world trades directly with the Vargr Extents, and contains large Vargr trading communities. Because of the essentially uncontrolled Vargr presence, Condyole is considered a rather lawless and dangerous environment.
