Planet

Planet are contained in Star Systems. The population living in them is somewhat interconnected and can form a semi-independent economy.

Key Properties

Core Spin Speed

Some planets have a molten magnetic core, which spins relatively to the surface and thus generates a magnetic field, protecting the population from deadly Cosmic Rays. The derived property is Effective Cosmic Ray Intensity, which is CSS.sub(CRI).max(0). The lower is the ECRI, the cheaper is, most importantly, local construction and life insurance. The magnetic field is also required to retain atmosphere, thus limiting the Atmosphere Bio Quality.

• Unit: Core Spin Speed: [0..inf]
• 0: Complete absense of magnetic field
• 1: Earth-like, protects from 1 Cosmic Ray Intensity, allows for 1 Atmosphere Bio Quality.

Surface Bio Quality

Compatibility of the surface with terran life.

• Unit: Surface Bio Quality: [-2..1]
• 1: Earth-like surface
• 0: Absense of surface
• -1: Hostile surface (corrosive/bad temperature)
• -2: Extremely hostile surface (requires expensive active countermeasures)
