Stellar cartography: New Jordan Sector

Relevant systems in New Jordan

(note: this large map is best seen in a computer screen)

This post details some of the worlds in the New Jordan sector. Players are free to contribute to this thread. =)

New Jordan (New Jordan, 08.27)
The sector administrative capital. To be written by the GM. This topic will be edited soon.

Altairia (New Jordan, 01.05)
To be written by the GM. This topic will be edited soon.

Where is Tulsoma in this mix? 😁

(I only bring this up because that is where Professor Stone is from, too.)

I count 26 hexes from New Jordan to Altairia. So assuming we're using hyperspace, it will take us 13 weeks of travel in-game to transit from New Jordan to Altairia, correct? Are the sectors that are adjacent in the galactic map - New Jordan and Pandora's Veil, for instance, effectively adjacent to each other, or is there unrepresented distance that separates each sector? If we leave the New Jordan sector spinward, will the next light year we traverse already be in the Pandora's Veil sector?

Your call, somewhere close to New Jordan... Specially because your university was in New Jordan, see your chargen thread. Tulsoma is not relevant enough to have one. =) Maybe it is another planet in the same system?
Yup.

OK, my bad. Sure, let's make it a second planet in the New Jordan system. Assuming New Jordan is a "nice" world, let's assume that Tulsoma is also in the habitable zone, but farther out and more marginal. Kinda like a bigger Mars that kept its active core and thus its atmosphere and hydrosphere. So, it hosts a very large population, helping give the New Jordan system a bigger population base.

That's great! =D

Adebaran (New Jordan, 18.19)
Aldebaran is a Red Giant star that has expanded off the main sequence. If it had inner planets, they have long since been devoured by the star. It has 4 'outer' planets. Aldebaran b, Aldebaran c, Aldebaran d and Noximo. Aldebaran b is a gas giant planet with ice rings and close to 60 'moons'. Only two of which are large enough to have noticeable gravity, Eclipse and Twilight. Twilight was a dead planet with no inner core. Eclipse, on the other hand, had a rotating core and a basic hydrogen atmosphere. Terraforming was completed several hundred years ago and now Eclipse is a subsistence level planet. Basic foods are produced and certain precious metals are mined from the surrounding rings along with Ice for water on Eclipse and for refueling ships heading Rimward.

Draco (New Jordan, 05.26)

Draco I
Draco I is a tiny and rocky inferno orbiting its orange (K4) star. Its climate is harsh, with temperatures soaring to extremes. The population of 30,000 struggles in this unforgiving environment, governed by a Feudal system. Strict laws and regulations, rigorously enforced, shape daily life. There is also taxation, heavy and often unfair, that burdens the citizens (This is a CR5 - Repressive -world)

On the other hand, the planet boasts abundant mineral resources, a double-edged sword under the watchful eyes of the feudal government. All goods are tightly controlled, requiring ration coupons and paperwork for every purchase. While there is a rich nobility, the average wealth teeters on the edge of survival.

Gravity on Draco I is a modest 0.32G, creating a unique experience for its inhabitants. The class 3 starport includes a downport and orbital station, offering essential repair facilities. Please note that obtaining special parts or undertaking complex repairs is too much for it and demands off-planet resources.

Ruling over this challenging domain is Duke Arion Voss, a figure known for his iron-fisted control. His authority extends through the feudal hierarchy, and his name strikes both fear and respect among the people of Draco I.

Draco III
Draco III, on the other hand, is a majestic gas giant adorned with a mesmerizing ring system reminiscent of Saturn's beauty. Circling this colossal sphere are five moons, the largest of which is Nocturna, an inhabited icy orb shrouded in an atmosphere of nitrogen and methane. The moon's atmosphere is dense (2.4 atm at the surface level) and poisonous, but does not contain any corrosives. The frigid average temperature of 118 Kelvin and the low gravity (0.2G), coupled with scarce natural resources, restricts habitation to a modest scientific outpost, home to a few hundred resilient individuals. This is a CR2 moon with CR4 Social Control.

Amidst the celestial dance of the five moons, a Postal Authority Division base gracefully orbits. The base's operations include the strategic collection and refinement of fuel and minerals from the ring system.
