Jump map from Travellermap.com

Pelesku is an icy, barren vacuum world, with no overt population, government, or law level, which would warrant hazardous environment precautions if anyone lived here.

• Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
• This world could be populated by a determined group if they had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Stane Subsector of Astron Sector.

• Vacuum worlds have no climate but experience extreme temperatures.

Mainworld Size (S)

Pelesku is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Pelesku 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.

• The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
• Much of the surface is cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving only around 20% of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.
