Star Frontiers Frontier Map System for Celestia
K'aken-Kar System
By Eric Winsor

Release 0.1.005
24 October, 2016

To use this Celestia add-on unzip into the extras sub-directory of Celestia in
the Frontier/ExploredSystems folder.  Then when you run Celestia choose
file-open script and select CelestiaFrontier.celx to go directly to the
frontier.  Note: you will need to edit the InfoURL links of the system scc
file to point to your local Celestia/extras folder so that the hyperlinks work
when right clicking of a world and selecting info.

How I'm Doing This:

I am using stargen (1) to generate star systems and search for breathable
atmospheres and write them to a comma seperated text file (csv).  I have
calculated the range of star masses for each spectral type and do stargen runs
for each star's full range.  I then search the CSVs first for planets that
match the documented day then gravity.  From the resulting list I then select a
system by watching the surface temperature and other planet/system details and
matching them to any documented descriptions in the rules or modules.

I then enter the system into the frontier.ssc file and generate a surface map
texture for the habitable planet using the hydrosphere and ice cap data from
stargen.  The world map generator I am currently using is donjon Fractal World
Generator (2).  I use 512 for the map height, Alternate for the map palette,
and 25000 for the itterations.

Some systems are not found when restricting the mass to the range calculated to
match the specific star type (K9, G2, etc.) listed in Zebulon's Guide.  In these
cases the Alpha Dawn star color trumps the Zeb's Guide spectral class and the
greater range of star mass is used to find the system and a new spectral class
is assigned that is as close as possible to Zeb's guide.  The same is true of
other data.  Alpha Dawn and module stats for day length, gravity, etc. all trump
Zeb's Guide.

History:
	v0.1		- Initial release
	v0.1.001	- Broke the Frontier.ssc file into seperate system .ssc files
	v0.1.002	- Moved all systems into subdolders
	v0.1.003	- Added Ya Zira from Star Frontiersman 16 and Starfrontiers.us
				  discussion threads.
				- Added Saurian Sector and S'sessu space from Frontier
				  Explorer 4 and 16.
				- Made all the binary star systems generic two star binaries
				  with a barycenter rather than the single star previously used.
				- Created the script CelestiaFrontier.celx to take the view
				  directly to the frontier and turn on only the jump routes
				  without the other constellations in asterisms.dat.
				- Added Beyond The Frontier, Saurian, and S'sessu jump routes
				  to asterisms.dat.
				- Fixed the html links in the system scc files to point to a
				  user local install of Celestia.
				- An assault scout was also added orbiting Theseus.
				- Added temorary version of the Lesser Morass Nebulae to learn
				  how to place a mesh in Celestia.
	v0.1.004	- Labeled Donal's Reach from SFman06.
				- Labeled Ora from SFman13 and set spectral types and adjusted
				  location to match jump distances in SFman13 article.
				- Labeled IO (Beta) from SFman20.
	v0.1.005	- Broke the zip release into a top level Frontier folder with
				  Frontier.stc, asterisms.dat, scripts, and directory structure.
				  Then seperate zips for each system, nebulae, and
				  ship/station model.  This allows for smaller downloads from
				  Starfrontiers.us and ease of management for each element
				  released.
				  This version of K'aken-Kar system is from Stargen run
				  repeatadly until a system was found where a habitable planets
				  were found that matched the gravity and day from the rules
				  for Ken'zah-Kit.
				  This has not be reconciled with any fanzines or webpages.
