Moon
Displays the survey record for a natural satellite. Data is organised into tabs corresponding to each digit of the Universal World Profile, plus a supplementary Orbital tab. Moons orbit a planetary body rather than a stellar primary; orbital distances are expressed in planetary diameters.
Tabs
- Orbital
- Orbital radius in planetary diameters, period, effective HZCO deviation, tidal lock status, sidereal day, twilight zone flag, and the location hierarchy up through the parent planet, star system, and sector.
- Starport
- Starport classification (A–E, X), allegiance, and travel zone.
- Physical
- Diameter (km), mass (Earth masses), surface gravity (g), density (Earth relative), mean temperature (°C), rotation period (hours), axial tilt, albedo, and greenhouse factor.
- Atmo
- Atmosphere code and composition. Tainted atmospheres include irritant subtype, severity, and persistence ratings.
- Hydro
- Hydrographics code, liquid type, and surface distribution.
- Pop
- Population code with headcount range, concentration rating, urbanisation percentage, major city count, and cultural indices.
- Gov
- Government type, authority, centralisation, and governmental structure.
- Law
- Law level code with sub-ratings covering restrictions and judicial system.
- Tech
- Overall technology level code with per-category sub-ratings.
