Information for Travellers

The Narsil system contains four rocky worlds, two asteroid belts, and four gas giants.

The Narsil system is a P-Type binary, with all the planets orbiting both stars. Around 1.5 million years ago the main star Isildur began fusing Helium in its core, causing the star to expand and massively brighten. This destroyed any inner planets but pushed the habitable zone outwards.

The Narsil system sits on the Sacnoth Arm, an important Jump-1 trade route.

Narsil is a member of the Sword Worlds Confederation.

The Narsil system sits on the border with the Darrian Confederation.

The Narsil system has a Class B Starport that provides refined fuel processed from the gas giants. A large Sword Worlds naval base and military base is also present in the system.

Narsil is highly industrial and manufactures goods to maintain TL-10.

The planet Narsil is a cold, High population, Industrial meso world with a Standard atmosphere tainted by industrial pollution – most sophonts will require a filter mask to breathe - and a moderate amount of surface water.

The planet Narsil has a highly elliptical orbit that moves in and out of the habital zone. Most of the surface is frozen with a period of thawing around the equator as the planet approaches the stars.

There is also evidence of terraforming by an ancient civilization. A species of genetically engineered single-celled organism that can survive temperatures of -40c provides oxygen via photosynthesis.

Isotopic examinations also suggest that most of the atmospheric gases were imported from off-world.

The planet Narsil was first surveyed by the Darrians sometime in the -1000s. It was colonised by settlers from Anduril in -204.

Narsil was also part of a union with Anduril from 44 to 604 in a period referred to as the Double Monarchy.

The planet Narsil is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. A group of 31 business conglomerates control the economy. The population of 20,000,000,000 - the largest population of any Sword Worlds system - live in vast cities buried in the ice.

Although each city is fed by a network of sealed farms and aquiculture, a large volume of food must be imported from off-world.

While the population is subjected to extensive indoctrination and is content, a growing rebel movement has been reported in some of the cities.

The simulation is currently stable, but that might change when running the simulation forward.
