California system
From Sirius Sector Neural Net Database
Home to two habitable planets, Planet Los Angeles and California Minor, as well as to Liberty Rogues, Outcasts, and Lane Hackers in the asteroid fields and nebulae, California stands on top of Liberty Trade Routes with Bretonia. Unfortunately, rising expenses are interfering with the terraforming of California Minor by Planetform.

[edit] California Minor
- OWNER: Planetform
- SHIPS SOLD: Patriot
- DIAMETER: 3,101 km.
- MASS: 2.77 x 10e24 kg.
- TERRAIN: Ice
- TEMPERATURE: -110°C to -12°C
- ESCAPE VELOCITY: 6.7 km/sec
A small icy planet with an unusually active volcanic system. Previously considered unsuitable for conventional terraforming, Planetform Inc. has designed a new process to channel the planet’s enormous subterranean stores of geothermal energy. Despite harsh conditions, the potential for jobs has attracted coarse, manual laborers to its few hospitable areas.
[edit] Planet Los Angeles
- OWNER: Liberty Police
- SHIPS SOLD:
- DIAMETER: 8,351 km.
- MASS: 3.22 x 10e24 kg.
- TERRAIN: Terrestrial
- TEMPERATURE: -40°C to 45°C
- ESCAPE VELOCITY: 8.98 km/sec
Mostly covered in deep salt water oceans, Los Angeles was popular among upper-class Manhattanites before terraforming efforts failed during the Great California Drought of 543 A.S. The planet's popularity has resurged with the economic windfall generated by Synth Foods. Synth Foods has perfected an engineered plant matter that can flourish in harsh environments and then processed into Synth Paste. The booming technology market recently induced Ageira Technologies to locate an optical chip plant here.
