The primary is Kh'isaa, a hot blue-white main sequence [[star]]. It has a luminosity of 75.2 Sols, a mass of 3.22 Sols, and a diameter of 4.063 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a dense stony [[planetoid belt]], and (II) a [[vacuum]] [[worldlet]]. Orbital positions (III) through (VI) are unavailable due to the presence of the companion star. (VII) K'shek orbits within the [[habitable zone]] and is designated the [[mainworld]]. | The primary is Kh'isaa, a hot blue-white main sequence [[star]].

(VII) K'shek is designated the [[mainworld]]. It orbits Kh'isaa at a mean distance of 9.72 AU (1.45 billion km), within the [[habitable zone]]. It has an orbital period of 16 years 325 days and a rotation period of 26.5 hours. The axial tilt is 18 degrees. K'shek has a diameter of 11,365 km, a density of 5.24 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.85 G. The world is geologically very active. Its atmosphere is rated as [[Dense atmosphere|Dense]], [[Tainted atmosphere|Tainted]], with a mean surface pressure of 1.79 bar and a composition of 72% nitrogen (N<sub><small>2</small></sub>), 27% oxygen (O<sub><small>2</small></sub>), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H<sub><small>2</small></sub>O), carbon dioxide (CO<sub><small>2</small></sub>), ozone (O<sub><small>3</small></sub>), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The [[Tainted atmosphere|taint]] is caused by the high percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 67% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.3m. Mean surface temperature: 29°C. The [[Fringian_Variant_System_Description#Planetary_Climate|climate]] is rated as Temperate-Warm and experiences minor seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is active and powerful weather systems driven by the star and the oceans sweep across the globe. | (VII) K'shek is designated the [[mainworld]].

* Breathing K'shek's atmosphere without suitable filtration equipment will cause oxygen narcosis and oxygen toxicity. Symptoms include sensations of euphoria and nausea, seizures, bouts of physical rigidity followed by convulsions and unconsciousness. Prolongued exposure causes acute breathing difficulties, damage to the lungs and the heart, and death. | * Breathing K'shek's atmosphere without suitable filtration equipment will cause oxygen narcosis and oxygen toxicity.
