System Data
The Barsoom primary is a M1 spectral class star; a smaller, older star than most in this region. It has a habitable zone of 0.1 AU and 0.17 AU.
This system has 2 gas giants, making it viable refueling point.
There are 7 rocky worlds, with Barsoom being the largest and closest body.
- 0.15 AU Barsoom
Mainworld Data
Barsoom is a standard rocky planet, with a metallic core, and a planetary day of 14.0 standard hours. This configuration provides a stronger than normal magnetic field, allowing for life to survive in such close propinquity to its primary. The high spinrate and increased radius of Barsoom also reduces the effective gravity at the surface.
Barsoom is a planetary oddity: a small world with a thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and a significant amount of water. Although close to its red dwarf sun, it is not tide-locked and has two small moons. which appear to be captured planetoids -- though no planetoid belt exists in the system. These anomalies have fueled speculation about planetary engineering performed by a pre-Humaniti civilization.

Mainworld Geography & Topography
Barsoom appears to be a old world with little tectonic activity. There are several mountain ranges, but most are of moderate altitude or lower. There are 3 large seas distributed across the surface.
