Traveller Tuesdays - System Details, Etzina (Ark/0401)

Using the system presented earlier to generate the content of a system, we'll present the contents of the world system of Etzina. 

Note: A later blog post here has details of the World Map for Etzina.

Etzina is a world in the Ark subsector, hex 0401. This is a fairly high population world, with a first class starbase, and a Naval Base, in Sphere Fenix.  It is, without a doubt, an important world in the Sphere.

         Etzina        0401 A454979-E  N            110 Sx

Looking at those stats, we can see that the following is known about the mainworld.

UWP:	A454979-E	Location:	Crucis Margin/0401	System:	Etzina
Starport:	A	Excellent Starport (Shipyard: Starships; Repair: Overhaul; Fuel: Refined)
Planetary Size:	4	Small (e.g. Mars) (5,600-7,199km)
Atmosphere:	5	Thin
Hydrosphere:	4	Wet World (35 - 44% water)
Population:	9	1,000,000,000
Government:	7	Balkanization. (No central ruling authority exists. rival governments compete for control.)
Law Level:	9	High Law (No weapons outside home)
Tech Level:	E	Above Average Interstellar Community
Base(s):	N	Naval Base (Imperial)
Zone:		Green: Unrestricted
# of Planetoid Belts:	1		# of Gas Giants:	0

Interesting world, especially to have such a high population (1 billion), given that it has a thin atmosphere.

Okay, following the procedure from the system generator article, we have the following.

There are a total of 7 interesting orbits.

The first 3 of those are in the Jump Shadow of the star (the star has the name "6935 Mao Xiu" from the original earth colonists).

The first 2 orbits are in the inner zone, and the last two orbits are in the outer zone, leaving 3 interesting orbits in the Habitable Zone.

System: Etzina (0401 A454979-E)
Star: 6935 Mao Xiu (Jump shadow extends past first three orbits)

1. (Inner Zone) Schofield (Small Ice World) Size 2
2. (Inner Zone) Isenberg (Small Terrestrial World) Size 3, 2 moons
3. (Habitable Zone) Kannaday (Terrestrial World) Size 7
4. (Habitable Zone) Etzina (Terrestrial World) Size 4, 1 moon
5. (Habitable Zone) Toranz (Large Terrestrial World ) Size 5, 2 moons
6. Asteroid Belt
7. (Outer Zone) Erco (Large Terrestrial World) Size 6, 1 moon
8. (Outer Zone) Bermey (Large Ice World) Size 9
9.  (Outer Zone) Shaloob (Planetoid) Size 2

• Education Facility (30 inhabitants - Trade: Terraforming Practices) in orbit around Schofield
