System Data
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x8 secondary rocky worlds.
- x1 planetoid belt.
- x2 gas giants.
Mainworld Data
Echo Prime has an elliptical orbit. At perihelion it swings relatively close to the star, while at aphelion it
Mainworld Size (S)
Echo Prime 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)
Echo Prime 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 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)
Echo Prime 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.
Echo Prime has large ice caps that grow and recede depending on where the world is in its orbit. Surface water also ebbs and flows with that cycle.
(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)
Mainworld Data
Echo Prime itself is a standard-sized world with a thin atmosphere, with a more elliptical orbit than most.
