Frontier worlds for the (URS)

This is what the Star Systems that we all know from Alpha Dawn and Zebulon's guide look like in the Star Frontiers (URS) look like. This is Athor (Yast)

Notes: Athor is potentially one of the Yazirians most valuable star systems. The reasons for this assessment is that Athor possesses a large gas giant in orbit around the star, and between the third planet (Yast) and  the gas giant is a field of Asteroids that is about one million miles thick at its thickest point. This asteroid is all that remains of a planet that failed to form when the system was formed. The Yazirians of Yast have been profiting from mining operations in the Asteroid field and have slowly begun accessing the feasibility of mining for hydrogen from Athor’s gas giant.


Scientists have speculated that Athor’s gas giant failed to ignite during the formation of the system possibly as a result of the cataclysmic destruction of Athor’s  what should have been a 4th planet in orbit around Athor’s sun.

Notes: Yast was colonized by Yazirians nearly 100 years ago and is a beautiful planet with two major continents that straddle the equator of the planet and five smaller continental land masses that lay between them. The major continents are divided into regions that range from temperate plains in the northeastern area to untamed rainforests in the south. There are large snowcapped mountains on the western edges of the two main continents as well as bisecting two of the minor continents in half.


Yast is home to a wide variety of living creatures, but none of them are of a level of intelligence to consider them major races. There are living creatures in almost every region of the planet but at present only about 35% of the life forms on the planet have been classified which is about the percentage of the planet that has likewise been surveyed. The Yazirian settlements on Yast have mostly been around a region of the largest of Yast’s continents known as Crescentbay. 


Yast has three seasons. The first transitory season is defined by an increase of the planet’s average temperature by 100F to an average of 900F, and the chance of precipitation increases to 52%. The second season sees the temperature remain at an elevated level, but the chance of Precipitation returns to its normal level. During this season the average wind speed of the planet increases to an average of about 8mph. Finally the last season that is felt on Yast sees the temperatures return to normal levels, but the wind speed on an average becomes a blustery 16mph on the average.
