System Data

Odinaga consists of two separate star systems:

Koji, the primary star, retains three rocky worlds and three gas giants.

• Three small unnamed vacuum secondary worlds orbit within Koji's narrow inner system and habitable zone.
• Ginzel and Hayash, two ice giants, orbit within the cold outer system.
• Fatooh, a large gas giant, marks the outer edge of Koji's system.
  • Odinaga, the mainworld, is the largest moon of Fatooh.

Ezin, the secondary star, retains three small rocky worlds.

• Two small unnamed vacuum secondary worlds orbit within the star's narrow inner system and habitable zone.
• An unnamed insidious atmosphere superterran world marks the outer edge of Ezin's system.

Mainworld Data

Odinaga is the outer major satellite of the large gas giant Fatooh.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the outer system.

• They receive very low levels of stellar energy.

• They orbit beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Odinaga is a Small World between 2,400km and 4,000km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.1G and 0.17G. The horizon will appear about 2.5km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Odinaga has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Odinaga has 05-15% of its surface covered by ice, either in vast sheets or contained deep within craters or fractures on the surface. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants can be got by mining and melting ice.

• The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
• Much of the surface is cratered and covered in thick layers of regolith and dust of meteoric origin, leaving only around 10% of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell there may be a world-ocean of liquid water.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Odinaga has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions.

Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• Merghia (population 880,000), the capital city of the world and the site of the starport.
• Oglez (population 600,000), constructed above deep fissures in the ice.
• Tinamou (population 590,000).
• Nzuyen (population 310,000).
• Leong (population 270,000), constructed within a vast impact crater.
• Rallz (population 180,000).
• Zhita (population 140,000).
• Ranganathan (population 105,000), built into the face of a sheer cliff.

World Technology Level (T)

Odinaga possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-3.

Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
