Barren; (172690)
Distance: 50 MKm; Type: Hermian; Radius: 2561km; Gravity: 3.57ms-2; Day: 8h 20m Year: 84d
Atmosphere: InertGases; Pressure: Trace; Hydrographics: 0%; Temperature: Hot; Life: None
| A small scorched planet near to the star. Its surface is covered with many craters, and the rest of the landscape is cracked and broken. The world has formed an iron rich core, with a rocky crust. However, the planet is quite dormant and has no geological activity. A weak magnetic field has managed to trap a trace atmosphere of Helium and other solar particles. |
Distance: 89 MKm; Type: Gaian; Radius: 5600km; Gravity: 8.58ms-2; Day: 16h 44m Year: 199d
Atmosphere: Standard; Pressure: Dense; Hydrographics: 60%; Temperature: Hot; Life: Extensive
Population: 50,000,000
Government: Captive
The government of Wydowson II is run by a foreign power which has placed a military in charge of the planet.
Law level: 3
This is a pretty standard world as far as government imposed restrictions go. There is a good balanced between defending the well being of individuals and society, and allowing people to do what they want. There are few laws governing what consenting adults can do to each other on this planet, with no restricting sexual behavior.
Tech level: 7
Wydowson II is at the point where science and technology is beginning to mature at an ever increasing rate. Nuclear power is well understood, both as a source of energy and for weapons. Computers are beginning to increase in effectiveness and decrease in size, and the technology to reach space is starting to become practical. However, Wydowson II is still relient on off-world tech for any real amount of space-based industry, and rapid advances in computer tech are more due to buying in designs from elsewhere and pulling them apart to see how they work.
Starport: D
This world has a dedicated Imperial starport, though it is closer to being a glorified airport, and mostly handles native air traffic. There are good repair and refueling facilities, including quality fuel. The people here are capable of handling offworld trade, and finding contacts is moderately easy. There is a small Imperial presence here, though it is little more than administrative in nature.
