		Planetary Data

(P) Cyclop's Eye:
Cyclop's Eye, 21 X 50 sectors, has an atmosphere of oxygen/nitrogen, a 
temperature of 90 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gravity of   1.0 G.  It is 
about 4/5 land with a central sea with an island in it.  Cyclop's Eye is the 
closest planet to the star Ryerson.  It has no moons, but its interesting 
geography makes it very unique.  The sea has a very high concentration of salt 
and the land terrain is mostly mountainous.

(P) Icetrain: Colonies - GTT Bartlett Roads
Icetrain, 25 X 49 sectors, has an atmosphere of xenon/ hydrogen/ nitrogen, a 
temperature of 30 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gravity of 1.2 G.  Icetrain 
is one of those rare planets that has the same side of it always the sun.  This
causes an icy dark side and a warm sunny side. Ice train is in the Ryerson 
system and has two moons, Blackdar and Whiterad.  No life is detected on this 
planet.

  (M) Blackdar: Colonies - EEM Anjk, EEM Gamont, EEM New Washington
  Blackdar, 11 X 22 sectors, has an atmosphere of oxygen/ nitrogen 
  (breathable), a temperature of 10 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gravity of 
  .9 G.  It is 85% water and has one land mass and six islands.  Blackdar is 
  the larger of the two moons orbiting the ice planet, Icetrain.  Life is 
  abundant on this habitable world. The terrain appears to be mainly mountains 
  separated by forests.

  (M) Whiterad:
  Whiterad, 3 X 6 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of 0 degrees 
  Fahrenheit, and a gravity of .3 G.  Whiterad is one of two satellites of the 
  planet Icetrain. Its terrain is composed of craters and rough only.  No life 
  is detected on this moon.

(P) Kyoto III:
Kyoto III, 13 X 44 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of -230 to -190 
degrees Fahrenheit, and a gravity is .9 G.  Kyoto III is one of seven planets 
in the Ryerson system.  It is a cold crater covered planet with no moons to 
keep it company.  No life is detected here.

(G) Muskmelon:
Muskmelon is a large gas giant in the Ryerson system.  It has one oddly shaped
moon named Quadra.

  (M) Quadra:
  Quadra, 22 X 27 sectors, has an atmosphere of oxygen/nitrogen/hydrogen, a 
  temperature of -120 to -60 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gravity of .8 G.  Quadra
  is Muskmelon's only moon.  The air on this planet is breathable for a period 
  of 1 TU out of every 20 TU's.  Life is detected, but just barely.  The 
  terrain is completely ice covered.

(G) Pundit's Place:  
Pundit's Place is the outermost planet of the Ryerson system.  It has two 
virtually identical moons named Barker and Squealer.  This gas giant also has 
an extensive ring system.
 
  (M) Barker: 
  Barker, 17 X 34 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of 134 degrees 
  Fahrenheit, and a gravity of 1.8 G.  It is all land and has ten north-south
  trenches.  Barker is one of a pair of moons that orbit the gas giant Pundit's
  Place.  Intense heat emits from ten 'lines' ranging 350-950 miles in length. 
  No life is detected here.

  (M) Squealer:
  Squealer, 17 X 34 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of 133 degrees 
  Fahrenheit, and a gravity of 1.8 G.  It is all land and has ten east-west 
  trenches.  Squealer is one of a pair of moons that orbit the gas giant 
  Pundit's Place.  Intense heat emits from ten 'lines' ranging 420-1080 miles 
  in length. No life is detected here.

(G) Zwakx:
Zwakx is one of three gas giants orbiting the star Ryerson.  It has a satellite
of its own named Sparse.

  (M) Sparse: 	
  Sparse, 2 X 3 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of -110 degrees 
  Fahrenheit, and a gravity of .1 G.  Sparse is the smallest moon in the 
  Ryerson system.  It orbits the gas giant Zwakx, has a typical craterous 
  terrain and no life is detected.


Additional Information

Blackdar
Life in the mountains of Blackdar:  You learn that the mountains are sparsely 
covered with a green sponge-like foliage.  Small, lynx-like creatures are 
commonly seen, as are a variety of larger game.  Although no intelligent races 
have been found here, the native creatures appear to be unusually smart at 
staying alive and avoiding capture.

Most of the continent is mountainous, with forested areas in sector 3-3.
