STARS

BAKER STAR

Baker Star is a large orange star situated just a few light years off the central plane of the Milky Way. There is nothing particularly remarkable about it, except for the high death rate of rocky inner planets in the inner solar system. There are six distinct asteroid belts surrounding the star, all rich in unexploited metal wealth and only one small gas giant in an orbit too far out to disturb the orbit of the rocks in the inner solar system.

Hangover

Hangover is the only inner planet to have survived to adulthood, but it didn't survive unscathed. Sometime in the planets recent history, a huge object, possibly a small moonlet, struck the planet punching a crater in the surface covering a thirtieth of the planets surface. From space the crater looks like a huge black circular continent, surrounded by a moat of red lava. Canyons of lava radiate out through fractures in the massive crater wall and the whole region is surrounded by a thin blue sea. To the settlers it resembled nothing more than a single huge bloodshot eye, floating in space.

The rest of the planet consists of forty separate continents that fit together like crazy paving, separated by deep and stormy water filled channels between one and sixty kilometres wide. It is slightly heavier than Earth at 1.1g and richer in heavy metals. The cataclysm warmed the surface of the planet enough to make comfortable life possible, and completely wiped out the larger indigenous animal life, although some of the local plant life survived. Almost nothing is known of the previous conditions of the planet as the seventy two settlers who live there do not have the luxury time required to investigate.

Town

The town was founded by settlers who crashed there twenty years ago. Most of the settlers live within a days travel of the town, with a few scattered by choice or necessity onto neighbouring continents. The town and the crash are developed further in the Hangover scenario.

CESITY STAR

Cesity is a typical star in the Damocles cluster in that is is a main sequence orange star in the prime of life. It has one inner planet - Cesity Too which has one large moon and two outer gas giants Cesity B and Cesity C. They have the usual menagerie of small moons.

Cesity Too

Cesity Too is the only planet in the star system. Cesity Too has a rich variety of terrains but no seas larger than a four hundred kilometres across. There are several continental plates, but they are not particularly active. The edges of the continents tend to be delineated by rift valleys and small, broken mountain ranges. The north and south poles are chilly, but not frozen and the equator is an unpleasantly hot desert region. The weather consists of rain, dust storms, tornadoes, thunder and fog. Big spectacular typhoons and hurricanes would require more ocean to build up strength, so they never occur.

Canyon Town

The settlers are of Camby stock but are sociable enough to outsiders. Most of the settlers live on a vast plain in the southern half of the planet bordered on the north and south by two small seas, on the east by an arid super-canyon and the west by mountains. The settlers who live there chose a small peninsula surrounded by canyon in order to better protect themselves from an indigenous creature called an Agrosaur. The main settlement is called Canyon Town. It is a typical dusty settlement with two law enforcement officials (Sherrif and Deputy) and a few bars to cater for the locals and the cattlemen.

O.R.C Headquarters

A corporation - The Offworld Ranching Corporation, has recently set up business, leasing land from the settlers to breed cattle on. The corporate headquarters sit in the lea of the western mountains. The plains in the middle are perfect cattle country. The corporation has access to some fairly modern technology, but being a business, money is tight and the place looks a bit shabby.

The planet has a number of native life forms most of which can consume organic chemicals in one form or another. The most notable creature on the planet is the Agrosaur a giant crocodile the size of a jumbo-jet.

DAMOCLES AND DIONYSUS

Damocles is a Red Giant that has an eccentric orbit around a fairly average black hole called Dionysus. The black hole is drawing matter from the star at an irregular rate depending on how close the two objects are to each other. As a result Damocles pulses and bulges alarmingly and unpredictably. Astronomers cannot predict exactly when Damocles will go super-nova and guesses range from three hundred to three hundred thousand years. 'Not in our lifetime.' they say with confidence before leaving on the next ship out.

The shell of the Dionysus super-nova is now one hundred and fifty light years in radius and not only makes for a very pretty backdrop to the inhabited planets night sky, but a surprisingly bumpy ride for any spaceship passing through it for the first time.

Damocles 1

The binary system has a lone satellite called Damocles 1 which is the iron core remnant of a planet which orbited Damocles when Dionysus went super-nova and collapsed one hundred and fifty years ago. Damocles 1 is discussed further in the scenario Kong Tiki.

Damocles Cluster

The Damocles binary is at the centre of a cluster of main sequence orange stars which suspiciously all have earth-like inhabitable worlds orbiting them. This is known as the Damocles Cluster.

DANIV

Daviv is the fourth largest and brightest star in the galaxy. It is a luminous blue hypergiant in the first million years of its life. It is 125 solar masses, three million times brighter than the sun and has a radius 500 times greater than that of the sun. Needless to say, it is hot.

Daniv 1 Alpha

Daniv 1 Alpha is a crazy mixed up kid of a planet that foolishly chose to orbit Daviv. Or it could just be a rogue planet caught in its gravity. It orbits Daniv at a range of 1.8 billion KM (further than Saturn from the Sun) and Daniv still fills up half the sky. The planet has a clear nitrogen atmosphere, the nitrogen is produced by the respiration of the plants on the planet. The oceans of the planet resemble water but consist of superheated long chain polymer molecules. The oceans maintain a balmy 500 degrees centigrade whereas the atmosphere varies from 590 degrees C at midday (190 in the shade) to 90 degrees C at midnight. The planet has a twenty hour day and a one hundred day year. The planet consists of two main continents, one takes up most of the northern hemisphere and the other lies in a crescent around the south pole.

The life forms on Daniv 1 Alpha are highly energetic creatures made of metal, heat resistant ceramics and highly volatile liquid chemicals. They are usually highly polished or have a very thick crust of blackened plastic skin, which looks white anyway because of the amount of light. Napalm, thermite, plasma and nitrogen-based explosives are typical defence mechanisms.

Daniv 1 Research Station Daniv 1 Research Station is a heavily insulated, solar powered research facility built on the coast of the northern continent near a deep shadow filled canyon which is large enough to land medium sized spaceships in. The research station is usually automated but has emergency supplies and a S.P.I.K.E.
