SGG World is 40,000-120,000 km in diameter.
  • Macrogravity: 2.01+ G.
  • This is a small Gas Giant. Ships, especially those with low thrust, usually orbit it (to skim fuel, hide, or whatever other job they have.)
    • Vessels with only 1G of thrust should not skim fuel from this planet
  • Standard surveys suggest there is nothing to land on.
Gas Giant
LGG World is at least 120,000 km in diameter.
  • Macrogravity: 2.01+ G.
  • This is a large Gas Giant. Ships, especially those with low thrust, usually orbit it (to skim fuel, hide, or whatever other job they have.)
    • Vessels with only 1G of thrust must not skim fuel from this planet
