* '''Warning''': [[Human]]s are not welcome within the [[Sath Alliance]]. Those few humans that venture into its territory are generally met with a hostile reception and are closely monitored at all times.

== Astrography and Planetology == 
This [[star system]] is detailed using the [[Fringian Variant System Description]].
* It is part of the [[K'shek Cluster]].

=== System Data ===
==== Kh'isaa-Kshek System ====
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]].
(VIII) a [[trace]] [[hospitable world]], (IX) an [[exotic atmosphere]] [[radworld]], (X) a [[trace atmosphere]] [[iceworld]], and (XI) a [[vacuum]] [[iceworld]] form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain [[satellite]]s.

==== Is'shka Subsystem ====
The companion is Is'shka, a dim red subdwarf [[star]] that orbits Kh'isaa at a mean distance of 0.89 AU (orbital position (IV), 133 million km) and has an orbital period of 171 days. It has a luminosity of 0.00152 Sols, a mass of 0.093 Sols, and a diameter of 127,000 km. It retains (I) a sparse stony [[planetoid belt]], and (II) a [[vacuum]] [[worldlet]]. The worldlet retains a satellite. The Is'shka subsystem lies entirely within Kh'isaa's inner system.

==== Ish Subsystem ====
The far companion is Ish, a magenta-coloured L-type brown dwarf lying approximately 1700 AU from Kh'isaa. It is not luminous, it has a mass of 0.062 Sols and a diameter of 60,000 km. (I) a dense icy [[planetoid belt]], and (II) a [[trace atmosphere]] [[worldlet]] form the outer system. The worldlet retains a satellite.

=== Mainworld Data ===
==== (VII) K'shek ====
(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.

==== Satellites ====
K'shek retains two natural [[satellite]]s, a cratered [[vacuum]] [[worldlet]] named Chaa and a [[trace atmosphere]] [[ice-capped]] [[worldlet]] named Ik'sch:
: (VIIa) Chaa ([[UWP]] Y100000-0, orbiting at 9 Diameters/100,000 km)
: (VIIb) Ik'sch ([[UWP]] Y311000-0, orbiting at 45 Diameters/510,000 km)

==== Mainworld Geography and Topography ====
Total surface area: 406 million km², Water surface area: 272 million km², Land surface area: 134 million km².
* 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.

=== Native Lifeforms ===
==== Kh'isaa-Kshek System ====
K'shek, the [[mainworld]], has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

No other [[world]] in the [[system|subsystem]] is known to have native life.

==== Is'shka Subsystem ====
No [[world]] in the [[system|subsystem]] is known to have native life.

==== Ish Subsystem ====
No native life is known to exist within the [[system|subsystem]].

== History & Background (Dossier) ==
