Worlds
Zarg’s World (Main World)
Zarg’s World itself is an A-class Colony world situated in the Goldilocks zone of a yellow main-sequence star. Tidally locked to its star, the stellar point (closest to the star) is a blisteringly hot mountain range surrounded by a boiling sea, while the antistellar point (farthest from the star) is a solid block of ice almost a kilometer thick. Between them in the twilight zone is deep sea covering most of the globe with strong currents and huge waves. The main Downport is sited on a thick block of pack ice toward the anti-stellar point. The 85,000 inhabitants of Zarg’s World – small by A colony standards, are scattered in small communities across the planet in varied locations from the hot mountain mines to the frozen starport to the undersea arcologies to the floating village of Gravport.
The atmosphere is unbreathable, and mildly toxic as well as being devoid of oxygen. Gravity away from the settlements is just under half standard.
The Highport itself is constructed out of the moonlet that naturally orbits Zarg’s World, and no large, artificial station has been put in orbit.
Loyalists’ Rock (Outpost)
Loyalists’ Rock is a small Ice planet locked in a gravitational embrace with a moon (called The Pebble) that’s two-thirds it’s size, so that the moon doesn’t so much orbit the planet as they do a whirling dance around each other as they orbit the star.
There is a thin atmosphere of nitrogen and methane, that is devoid of oxygen (whereas The Pebble is airless). Local gravity outside buildings with Grav Plates is 0.2G. Slightly less than a third of the planet is covered with seas of liquid methane. From the surface of Loyalists’ Rock, the star is just a bright dot in the sky.
