System Data

Ka’ssha, the system primary, is an ordinary white main sequence star lying at the center of the K’shek cluster. It has two tiny red dwarf companions, Ishik and Skirka, which orbit one another at a mean separation of 0.2 AU, and in turn orbit Ka'ssha at a mean distance of 78 AU. Ka'ssha retains a family of six rocky worlds; Ishik and Skirka are orbited by a single small rocky planet. Many of the worlds in the system retain families of satellites.

Mainworld Data

Keraha is a large exotic atmosphere planet that orbits Ka’ssha at a mean distance of 2.8 AU, within the system's habitable zone. Ch’kaahi is the outer of its two moons, orbiting at a mean distance of 380,000 km.

Ch’kaahi is a medium-sized body with an above average density and a surface gravity of nearly 0.9G. It experiences powerful tidal stresses caused by Keraha and seismic and geological activity is common. The world is abundant in metals and minerals of all kinds. It has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere containing significant traces of argon and carbon dioxide. It is rated as dense, with a mean surface pressure of 1.85 bar. There are large seas and lakes of liquid water that cover nearly 40 percent of the surface. The climate is generally warm, with temperatures averaging around 23ºC: temperatures rarely fall below freezing at the poles and can reach uncomfortable levels around the equator.
