Location

  • Cart'hen star system is located in the Trinity Sector. This space sector is divided almost equally between the Federation, Klingon and Romulan Empires. Cart'hen is approximately 4 lightyears from Starbase 118 near the center of the sector.

Cart'hen I

  • it's orbit is approximately 15 million km from it's star
  • a hot rock ball of a dwarf planet with a diameter of 1273.5 km (791.5 miles).
  • a density of 5.3
  • a gravity of 0.096 G's
  • no atmosphere

Cart'hen II

  • it's orbit is approximately 60 million km from it's star
  • a hostile greenhouse planet with a diameter of 7,044.8km (4,378.4 miles).
  • a density of 5.6
  • a gravity of 0.56 G's
  • an atmosphere made up primarily of carbon oxides
  • it has 3 tiny moons

Cart'hen III

  • it's orbit is approximately 105 million km from it's star
  • a hot desert planet with a diameter of 10,005.2km (6218.3 miles).
  • a density of 6.1
  • a gravity of 0.86 G's
  • a thin atmosphere with a pressure of about 0.76 earth normal, (will need aid of respirator at any elevation above 500 feet)with nitrogen 72%, oxygen 23% and argon 3%
  • no noticeable season variation due to there being no axial tilt
  • temperatures are on average 43C during the day and dropping to 32C at night, (in rare cases it has gone as high as 54C)
  • no surface water (all water is obtained through wells or drilling)
  • with a year of 332 days, each day 37.6 hours long
  • it has a population of 600,000, made up of over 30 different races
  • technically a part of the Federation it is a lawless planet that at one time was part of the Klingon Empire

Asteroid belt

  • these asteroids have a stony, iron composition
  • they orbit there star at approximately 138 million km

Cart'hen IV

  • it's orbit is approximately 195 million km from it's star
  • a gas giant with a diameter of 102,722km (63,842 miles).
  • a density of 0.9
  • a gravity of 1.31 G's
  • it has 4 tiny moons, 2 medium moons and 1 large moon plus a ring
