Lomodo is a nonindustrial fluid world.

  • A fluid world has an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.
  • It requires 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.
  • It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Alpha Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

Mainworld Size (S)

Lomodo 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)

Lomodo has an Exotic Atmosphere containing a high level of sulfur (5%) and oxygen(12%) with nitrogen and carbon monoxide making up the majority of the remaining percentages. This then dictates that Humans will require a breathing mask and oxygen tanks. However, protective suits are otherwise not necessary.

History & Background (Dossier)

Lomodo was home to three different species of sophont, the Osp, the Byl and the Irf. While the Osp continue to flourish on the planet the Byl and the Irf apparently wiped each other out in a recently ended war that lasted for over 200 years. The communities built by both the Byl and the Irf lay in ruins over many of the plains of the planet. Additionally, once the Byl and the Irf had wiped each other out, the Osp were finally able to colonize large portions of the planet. Due to the exotic nature of Lomodo Iva’s atmosphere and its remoteness from Imperial and Zhodani space, little is known of the surviving species. However, it is noted that the Osp have taken to salvaging and using basic tools found in the ruins of the other two species.

World Starport (Sp)

This world has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

  • In truth Lomodo has no official starport. However, as the planet is open and not aliened with any spacefaring governmental body, ships may land where they please and conduct trade with the Osp if they can figure out how. or exploit the resources of the planet as they see fit.

World Population (P)

This world has a population of 1,000,000 sophonts (millions).
