The Cart'hen star is a White Dwarf with a stellar mass of about 0.8

Any orbital bodies within 1 AU (astronomical unit = 93 million miles = distance between Earth and its sun) were destroyed when the star expanded into a red giant before collapseing into a white dwarf

  • Location - Cart'hen star system is located in space sector designated - Starbase 118 - This space sector is divided almost equally between the Federation, Klingon and Romulan Empires. Cart'hen is approximately 4 lightyears from Starbase 118.

Cart'hen I = asteroid belt... destroyed remains of a planet

Cart'hen II = a rockball with a diameter 1/10 of earth = 791.5 miles in diameter

Cart'hen III = a hot desert planet with a diameter of 4,378.4 miles... a density of 7.6 (this is an extremely dense world with mostly heavy metals forming its core) and a gravity of 0.76 G's, no noticeable season variation, no axial tilt, with a thin atmospher of 0.68, (will need aid of respirator at any elevation above 500 feet) temperatures are on average 110 dureing the day and dropping to 90 at night, (in rare cases it has gone as high as 130) no surface water, (all water is obtained through wells or drilling) with a year of 332 days, each day 37.6 hours long
