Worlds

From Travellers Guide to StariumXCV

Worlds are the objects floating through space, orbiting around Suns. Worlds vary in size and environment, with unique distributions of Areas and terrain.

Things That Can Be Found on Worlds

  • Flora-Fauna - natural exotic lifeforms. These can affect how production works for the Areas with them.
  • Crystals - an advanced material that can augment the capabilities of Units and Ships.
  • Populations - People, livin' and workin'
  • Other Empires! - You're not the only one out there

Size

The Size of a World determines how many Areas it has. Gas Giants, however, do not have solid ground and so do not have any Areas.

Moons

A World can have up to 4 Moons. Moons operate like small worlds, but tend to be more barren and empty.

Environment

The environment of a World can affect how productive the lifeforms on it can be. Populations and Units have a base environment that they work best in, and perform worse the further they are from that.

A world's environment has three characteristics:

  • temperature
  • atmosphere quality
  • atmosphere density

The World's temperature affects the terrain that the World will have, and has a big impact on what the world looks like.

Atmosphere Quality and Atmosphere Density affect the performance of lifeforms working on the world.
