Andor is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Five Sisters Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector in the Domain of Deneb.
• This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.
• This is a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.
• It lies within the Greater Collace Rift.
• The entire population consists of Droyne.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x2 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Andor is a primary candidate for the Droyne homeworld, with an ancient Droyne culture, the correct gravity and atmosphere, and even a star in the correct spectral range.

Mainworld Size (S)

Andor 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)

Andor has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. While a Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint 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)

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

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

History & Background (Dossier)

Discovered in 802 and placed under interdiction (red travel zone) by Imperial Interstellar Scout Service.

The name "Andor" is sometimes rendered Andory.

The first recorded permanent yatroy was the Canal Authority on Andor. It was formed around -44,000 to dig a canal connecting the cities on the Twoysk Plain with the cities of the Aylkoy River System. Other permanent yatroyin came to include Space Control, which ran the ships that traded with Candory; the Mining Initiative, which mined metals on a barren island in the North Polar Ocean; and the Aylkoy Energy Distribution, which administered a dam built on the Upper Aylkoy.

World Starport (Sp)

Andor 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.

Languages

• Oynprith
  • Droyne Languages: Oynprith is a ceremonial and ritualistic language apparently universal among Droyne communities. Other languages are used in casual day-to-day affairs.
