Kairavamori is a dimming orange star. Its three terrestrial worlds all rate rich in resources, particularly iridium.

Batarians, pirates, and mercenary companies have staked claims on much of the system for mining or just territory. However, few dare to explore Sehtor’s resources or settle there because of its volatile landscape.

 

Planets Directory:

  1. Sehtor
  2. Vatar
  3. Uwan Oche

 

Sehtor:

  • Orbital Distance:  0.7 AU
  • Orbital Period:  0.7 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.7
  • Radius:  5,810 km
  • Day Length:  47.8 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  47.73 atm
  • Surface Temp:  470 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  0.8 g
  • Mass:  0.659 Earth-masses

A rocky planet with a crushing atmosphere, Sehtor has been scanned from orbit but largely left unexplored due to its sweltering conditions. Its atmosphere contains nitrogen but also an unusually high percentage of ethane, which can coalesce in pockets near the surface. The alumina-heavy crust of the planet can reach glowing-hot temperatures during the daytime, reaching the ethane’s auto-ignition temperature and creating pockets of flame across the landscape. For this reason extra-vehicular activities are discouraged on Sehtor, and no company has been willing to invest in exploration.

 

Vatar:

  • Orbital Distance:  1.4 AU
  • Orbital Period:  1.9 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.76
  • Radius:  6,352 km
  • Day Length:  18.0 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  0.77 atm
  • Surface Temp:  −35 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  1.0 g
  • Mass:  0.984 Earth-masses

Located within the life zone of a dimming orange sun, Vatar would be habitable except for its carbon-dioxide atmosphere and an icy surface that kills most oxygen-producing bacteria. Nonetheless, mercenary companies and slavers have numerous strongholds on the planet, out of reach of any galactic authority.

TRAVEL ADVISORY:  A statistically significant number of distress signals have originated within the 1-million-kilometer mark of Vatar. Civilian travel is not advised.

 

Uwan Oche:

  • Orbital Distance:  2.7 AU
  • Orbital Period:  5.0 Earth-years
  • Keplerian Ratio:  0.787
  • Radius:  6,529 km
  • Day Length:  57.5 Earth-hours
  • Atmospheric Pressure:  Trace atm
  • Surface Temp:  −126 °C
  • Surface Gravity:  1.1 g
  • Mass:  1.144 Earth-masses

Uwan Oche (“Uwan Prime”) is a stony planet encased in ice under a methane-heavy sky. Named for the Uwan Consortium, the batarian manufacturing firm that financed its exploration, Uwan Oche’s crust provides much of the boron allotropes used in omni-gel throughout the Terminus Systems. The area has naturally become a haven for pirates, who attempt to steal the refined gel or its ingredients as soon as the cargo ships leave the atmosphere.
