Yorbund is a fluid world with an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Regina Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. Yorbund, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.
Astrography & Planetology
It is located within the Kinorb Cluster.
Ice asteroids in Yorbund's two large planetoid belts provide the only available source of fuel within the system.
Yorbund has a warm climate and a corrosive fluorine atmosphere that has so far limited efforts to explore the planet. The surface remains largely un-mapped and the general terrestrial climate is overcast with an almost constant, corrosive drizzle accompanied by a roiling fog composed of fluorine and other exotic elements and combinations in gaseous form.
