Jurtin is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and are both non-agricultural and nonindustrial in nature.

  • These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • They require 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.
  • The worldlets are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • These worldlets have very few prospect for economic expansion.
  • It is a member of the Enlightened in the Utt Subsector of Halcyon Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

System Data

Knell-Jurtin System

The primary is Knell, a dim red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0025 Sols, a mass of 0.244 Sols, and a diameter of 334,000 km. (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a trace atmosphere worldlet, (III) a exotic atmosphere bigworld, (IV) the Jurtin Main Belt, designated the mainworld, (V) a ringed very large gas giant, (VI) a dense rocky planetoid belt, and (VII) a trace atmosphere iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Mainworld Data

(IV) Jurtin Main Belt

(IV) the Jurtin Main Belt orbits Knell within the outer system and is designated the mainworld. It lies at a mean distance of 1.1 AU from the star and is primarily made up of carbonaceous bodies with diameters of less than 100 km. The inner edge of the belt, with a higher concentration of nickel-iron bodies, is considered to lie at around 0.8 AU from Knell and the outer edge of the belt, with a higher concentration of icy bodies, is considered to lie at approximately 1.4 AU. The main inhabited body is named Haven, with a mean orbital distance of 0.89 AU around the star and an orbital period of 1 year 256 days. It has a long axis of 350 km, a density of 3.65 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.018 G. It retains no atmosphere and has no hydrographics. Mean surface temperature: -115°C in sunlight, -190°C in shadow.

Native lifeforms

No world in the Jurtin system is known to have native life.

World starport

Jurtin has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World technology level

Jurtin possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
    • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
    • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
    • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
    • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World government

Jurtin is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
