Yres System (Classic Era) Coordinates: Regina 0202, Spinward Marches Spectral Class/Size: Solo K0VI Stellar Mass: 0.43 Stellar Luminosity: 0.117 Orbit Name UPP Remarks Primary Ellenel K0VI 1 Yres BAC6773 7 2 Nugget X200311 B Mining 3 Lark's World XA3A100 B Research Station 4 Ballodust LGG Large Gas Giant Yres Diameter: 11221 miles Density: 0.98 Mass: 2.7 Mean Surface Gravity: 1.37 Rotation Period: 6 hrs Orbital Radius: 0.52 AU Orbital Period: 89.75 dys Yres, once a proud monarchy ruled directly by the Marquis von Talbot, was reduced to anarchy after the 4th Frontier War. Although, the war was won, the Marquis was killed, and the planet broke out into rebellion against the ruling family. After two decades of police action on Yres, the Imperium has broken the revolutionary movement and established two rival governments on the world: The Wonderful Community, a religious dictatorship with strict moral codes, and the YLU (Yresian Liberty Union), a charismatic dictatorship ruled by popular conservative, Arthur Kuzumi. The starport, nested in the small neutral zone between the two nations, displays the Imperium's indifference between the two rival governments. Since the revolution, the household of von Talbot relocated to Menorb and has been elevated in status to the seat of the 8th County of Regina. The world's 34 million inhabitants, as divided as they are, can no longer instill rebellion for fear of being crushed by each other. However, neither can they choose a productive course for the world. This social conflict, as deadly as the corrosive atmosphere of the world, has created a climate of fear and desperation, where large-scale sabotage in the vast underground cities is commonplace. It is even rumored by high-level sources that TAS is currently in deliberation with the rival governments over whether or not to classify the planet as an amber zone. Nugget Diameter: 2103 miles Density: 0.13 Mass: 0.0024 Mean Surface Gravity: 0.035 Rotation Period: 14 hrs Orbital Radius: 0.78 AU Orbital Period: 165 dys Nugget, essentially a large ball of ice with a small but dense rocky core, has been leased to Naugrim Enterprises, a sector-wide corporation with 7000 employees positioned locally. According to company spokespeople, Naugrim is conducting a speculative mining operation in order to determine the world's mineral assets, if any. Lark's World Diameter: 15460 miles Density: 0.68 Mass: 4.9 Mean Surface Gravity: 1.3 Rotation Period: 21 hrs Orbital Radius: 0.94 AU Orbital Period: 218 dys The research station on Lark's World was originally set-up to investigate an abnormality in an otherwise common world. The planet's molten core is roughly a tenth of a percent of what should be expected given its size, age, and orbital radius. Fifty-four Imperial scientists (including a sixteen member team specializing in xeno-archeology) are currently stationed on the world researching the phenomenon. ----------------------------------------------------------------- System summary provided by the Internal Mapping branch of the Imperial Grand Survey.
