0103 Aquaria C 779695-7 Gas Giant Non-Industrial

Starport Type C - Your basic starport, with plenty of unrefined fuel mined from the system's two gas giants. This port is a bit seedier or rundown than most, as MISC Corporation from Muskatoon (0101) built the facility for trading with the high population world, but puts as little money into it as possible.

Planetary Size 7 - Aquaria has a diameter of 7200 miles and is 22 600 miles around at the equator. It has a 33 degree axial tilt and its days are 25 terran hours long. It rotates around its sun every 400 terran days.  Atmosphere Type 7 (Standard, tainted) -The oceans on this water-dominated planet give off chlorine gas vapors, forcing all inhabitants to need filter masks to live normally. Of course, the indigenous fauna have long since adapted to the unpleasant atmosphere. Any human who goes more than a day without a mask risks contracting a life-shortening breathing condition. More than a week will kill a person.

Hydrographic Percentage 9 - Aquaria is 90% water, with its largest land mass in the northern hemisphere, and then a long chain of islands extending some 1000 miles towards the equator. The ocean is heavily chlorinated, and gives off vapors of weak chlorine gas that can kill the unwary. There is a tremendous amount of water ice at both poles, in the winter extending a third of the way to the equator  Population Size 6 - Aquaria has two million inhabitants on the northern continent, with some tens of thousand hardy souls that live on the island chain.

Government Type 9 - Aquaria's government is classified as an impersonal bureaucracy. It is governed by various MISC Corporation flunkies from Muskatoon, all in charge of a section of the continent, with various government bureaus overseeing all aspects of law.

Law Level 5 - Only low tech blades and hunting firearms are allowed on the planet.

Technological Index 7 - MISC Corporation only allows basic technology on the planet, similar to Miscatoon (0202).

Notes - This was a thriving backwater planet when MISC Corporation stumbled across it. The people do not remember their origins, and are actually pleased that an outside government has been imposed upon it, bringing trade, wealth and technology. The oceans are mostly unexplored.
