Terant 340 has both a thin tainted atmosphere and no surface water which makes habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and a million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Darrian Confederation in the Darrian Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector. 100% of the world's population is the Minor Human Race Daryen.
Astrography & Planetology[edit]
Terant 340 is a member of the Spinward Main.
Terant's primaries have many interesting anomalies which intrigued the Darrian astrophysicists. The planetoid belts harbor enough resources to make self-sufficiency possible. Terant 340 is the largest chunk of circling debris prevented from coalescing into a planet by the disturbing influence of the white dwarf companion and three gas giants. The system has no worlds other worlds between gas giant and planetoid size.
