Fochrik System Brief | Star Frontiers

Refer to: <a href="/node/4819">Fochrik System Brief WIP</a>. First off, in the chart I left out the orbital period as I still need to convert them from earth years to GST Now I also have this attached note from Tom S.: For Forge, you could maintain an atmosphere. It might be thick and heavy with a lot of CO2 somewhat like Venus or it could be thinner. It's not really my area but you would definitely have a lot of wind rushing from the dark side to the lit side due to major convection in the atmosphere. The “habitable” area would be in a strip along the terminator. The orbit is perfectly circular so there would be some oscillation of Fochrik in the sky and variations in temperatures. Outside of that, you'd need to be in domes or underground. (note in Tom's email communication with me he specified that he was not convinced that Forge's orbit was stable but he did run the sim for a million years and it was good) Question 1:which begs the question of which way do we take the atmosphere? thick with high CO2 or thin Something that did occur to me was that with high winds it could explain while the economy is both Resource and Industrial- with landing being such a pain they refine resources and only ship finished goods Question 2: No doubt the other planets, being in a long inhabitted system, would already have names. So any candidates for humma sounding planet names? We have Hum, and Larg but Forge sounds like a translation to me in light of its proxity to the star and its economy. Question 3: I'm thinking that the humma should already have attain crude space flight prior to being discovered by the CFM- giving them a head start on populating Forge and a chance to deport the boon'sheh to Larg (as a side note I've started to think of Larg as the Humma word for cold) Note: question 3 has more to do with the history page but that is part of the same section as the system brief so I'll leave it here.
