Gram | 1223 | A-895957-B M | Hi, In, Cp | 603 | F2D M2D


F2D with M2D companion in close orbit   Siegfried and Kreimhild respectively

0   A-895957-B  Gram
    [Orbital period 25.41 days; day 12.65 standard days; 30 degrees axial tilt]
    [Molten core; density 1, Mass 1, Gravity 1]
    [Seismic stress factor 2+3+(35+25+1)+7 = 73; 40 volcanoes, mainly in an
     equatorial volcano belt as most of them arise from tidal stresses (for
     comparison Earth's Moon contributes about 1 to seismic stress).]
    [5 major continents, 3 minor continents, 10 major islands, 7 archipelagos]
    [Atmosphere tainted with CO2 and sulphur compounds; Native life]
    [Base temperature 293K; higher than might be expected due to strong tectonic
     and tidal effects from moons, plus very high greenhouse effect]
    [Native life with two sexes, four limbs and bilateral symmetry]
    [Major cites: 1000, 900, 600, 500, 400 and 400 million people; 28 cities of
     10s of millions of people; 88 cities of millions; 468 cities of 0.1 millions;
     1512 cities of 10000s people; plus many smaller cities]

         [Owned by the Royal Shipyards; has mines, factories and so on; its temporary
          population is much much larger than its permanent population. Density 1.04]

Territorial law - the world of Gram and the star system is divided into
                  provinces where different rules apply.

A Kingdom. The Representative Authority is a Ruler, King Albrecht VII who
(along with his Queen, Ingrid) represents the place and fills the executive
and judicial roles. Several councils fulfil the role of the legislative arm.

The Royal Shipyards are the only place in the Sword Worlds which can construct
jump drives. In addition to the normal defences, the planet is defended by a
number of TL12 Meson gun planetary defence sites (obtained from Sacnoth).They
are EM Masked, with nuclear dampers and meson screens. The cities of Gram are
also protected by nuclear dampers and meson screens.

A very old star system.

'Gram' is one of Seigfreid's swords; the name means 'Grief'.
