Heaiea is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.
- The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- It is a member of the Keeyaei Hekhiao in the Eii Subsector of Matzen Sector.
- This world has a research station engaged in the scientific pursuit of knowledge.
- This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)
The primary star of the system is a pulsating, very rapidly spinning ball of extremely hot gas that grows and shrinks over a regular cycle. The object is rarely spherical, instead exhibiting bulges and hollows across its surface as it pulsates. It regularly kicks out vast flares of material, it is surrounded by intense radiation belts, and it is a powerful radio transmitter. Its mass is enough to warp space-time, causing time dilation effects to objects in close proximity.
- It behaves as a powerful radio and sensor jammer.
- It transmits signals and static across the electromagnetic spectrum.

System Data
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x4 secondary rocky worlds.
- x2 gas giants.
- x0 planetoid belts.
Mainworld Data
No information yet available.
Mainworld Size (S)
Heaiea is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)
Heaiea has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. While a Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as 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)
Heaiea has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.
