Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the stars habitable zone.

  • The world orbits just inside of the stars jump shadow, requiring some additional manoeuver time to or from a safe jump distance.

Mainworld Size (S)

Gheru 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)

Gheru has an Exotic Atmosphere and possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks, but protective suits not necessary, but are recommended. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Gheru has 25-35% of its surface covered by a fluid other than water. Wilderness refueling is not possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

  • This surface fluid may be ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids depending on the local temperature and environment.

History & Background (Dossier)

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Gheru is a remote and desolate frontier. Very few intelligent beings have ever have set foot on any of the worlds in the system.

  • Information about the system is limited.
  • The resources of the system remain untapped.

Officially, the system almost never sees traffic.

  • Commo typically only picks up natural background noise and static.

The Aslan appear to be using the system as a link in a secretive path across the region.

  • If they are, their vessels only enter the system very occasionally.
  • They likely conduct refueling operations then continue on their way.

Aslan Clan interests may have established an exploration route, seeking to find a safe course into the empty systems of Theron Sector.

The Clans would likely use any such route to communicate with and supply their explorers, pioneers, and scattered outposts within the region.

  • The existence of the route and the fuel cache have not been proven.
