Star class: V (Main Sequence)
Spectral type: K0 (4350 Kelvin)
Inner orbit: 23 Mkm
Ideal orbit: 117 Mkm
Cold orbit: 783 Mkm
Vacuum; (219618)
Distance: 52 MKm; Type: Vulcanian; Radius: 60km; Gravity: 0.13ms-2; Day: 70m Year: 89d
Atmosphere: Vacuum; Pressure: None; Hydrographics: 0%; Temperature: Hot; Life: None
| A rocky dwarf planet rich in heavy metals. Sharp mountain ridges cut across the surface in spiraling pattern. The burning star continually bakes the day side of this asteroid, making it an uncomfortable place to stay. |
Agricultural; (219619)
Distance: 97 MKm; Type: Gaian; Radius: 5600km; Gravity: 8.58ms-2; Day: 15h 56m Year: 227d
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 ensuring the well being of individuals and society, and allowing people to do what they want. Ownership of firearms is limited.
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
A single major airport has been upgraded to handle off-world trade, providing refueling and basic repair facilities. Warehouses, businesses, entertainment and relaxation can all be found here, though they offer only minimal facilities for off-world travellers, having been designed for local travellers. There is a small Imperial presence here, though it is mostly administrative in nature.
| This is a green planet with a fully developed ecology. Wydowson II is a splendid world of giant trees which cover most of the world. The oceans are filled with coast hugging clawed arthropods. Apart from a few large towns, the majority of the population is rural. |
