0.4 Surtan is a nonindustrial fluid world.

  • A fluid world has an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.
  • 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.
  • This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
  • It is a member of the Eslyat Magistracy, part of the Comsentient Alliance, in the Subsector Delta Subsector of Beyond Sector.
  • This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
  • This world has sometimes been listed erroneously as Greater Enigma on some older Imperial star charts. [2]
  • Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Eslayt.
  • Less than 10% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.
