Operations manual
Terrestrial Planet
Displays the full survey record for a terrestrial planet. Data is organised into tabs corresponding to each digit of the Universal World Profile, plus supplementary tabs for orbital mechanics and the satellite inventory. Tabs for which no data has been recorded are still accessible but will appear empty.
Controls
- Regenerate
- Submits the body's Universal World Profile and orbital parameters to the generator data core, which recomputes and returns a complete characteristic profile. All existing survey data for the body is superseded by the returned values, including the satellite inventory — all previously recorded moons are expunged and reconstructed from the generator's output. This operation is irreversible. Available only when the body orbits a stellar primary.
Tabs
- Orbital
- Orbital radius (orbit number and/or AU), period, effective HZCO deviation, retrograde flag, inclination, eccentricity, tidal lock target, sidereal day, twilight zone status, and the location hierarchy through to sector. Jump shadow extent is shown when it exceeds the body's own shadow.
- 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 type. Tainted atmospheres include irritant subtype, severity, and persistence ratings. Hazard code is shown where applicable.
- Hydro
- Hydrographics code, liquid type, and surface distribution pattern.
- Pop
- Population code with approximate headcount range, concentration rating, urbanisation percentage, major city count, and cultural indices (cohesion, diversity, militancy, and related ratings).
- Gov
- Government type code and description, authority style, centralisation, and the structure of judicial, executive, and legislative bodies.
- Law
- Law level code with sub-ratings covering weapons and armour restrictions, criminal and economic law, personal rights, uniformity, and judicial system.
- Tech
- Overall technology level code with per-category ratings for electronics, energy, manufacturing, medical, environmental, land, sea, air, and space transport, and personal and heavy military equipment.
- Moons
- Paginated list of satellites. The tab counter shows the total moon count. Toggle Significant only to suppress sub-kilometre bodies.
