Holopedia Galactica entry:
Sorella is a temperate but low-oxygen world in the Sorella System of the Freeworlds Territory in the Tapani Sector.
It falls within the standard gravity range of typical inhabited planets in the galaxy.
Local days are twenty-six standard hours long.
Local years are one hundred fifty local days long.
Sorella has a Type III atmosphere: Breath Mask Required for most species. Humans and most near-human species will find it unbreathable without a breath mask due to the low oxygen levels in the atmosphere, except at the absolute highest elevations or inside environmental domes. Terraforming adjustments have proven difficult. Persons without breath masks can begin to suffer detrimental effects immediately. A small number of alien species (and certainly native creatures) will be able to breathe the atmosphere unaided.
The axis of the planet is offset approximately ten degrees to the orbital plane, causing very mild seasonal variation throughout the local year. Temperatures average between -5 and 29 degrees Celsius, and are in the most comfortable temperature bands for humans and many near-human species.
The sentient population of Sorella was counted in the census of Tapani Year 12720 as 7.5 million.
The planet is approximately thirty percent covered in land. There are many different terrain types, including hills, mountains, inland seas, rivers, and large oceans. Most of the relatively flat land has been converted to agricultural areas, with large farms covering much of its surface. The farms are managed by a high degree of automation, requiring minimal human labor. Steeper slopes and hilly areas remain the forests native to this world, with terrace-style domed communities ranging in size from "large town" to "small city" built into cliffsides, plateaus, and mountains.
The primary starport on Sorella, which is located on the large peninsula near the northern pole of the world but south of the very small polar ice cap, is Standard Class. The starport is fully-staffed and equipped. Restocking services are available, and there is a small shipyard for minor repairs and modifications. Prices for repairs and modifications can be up to double normal prices, and take twice as long to accomplish, unless one is affiliated with the correct smuggler cartel. Warranties are not worth the flimsies they are printed on.
"Sora ni ""duniani wenye joto la chini lakini oksijeni ya chini"" katika mfumo wa Sorella wa Wilaya ya Freeworlds katika Sekta ya Tapani." Inapatikana katika kiwango cha kawaida cha nguvu za uvutano za sayari zinazokaliwa katika galaksi. Siku za mahali hapo zina urefu wa saa ishirini na sita. Miaka ya mahali hapo ina siku 150 za mahali hapo. Sorella ina aina ya tatu ya anga: Breath Mask Inahitajika kwa spishi nyingi. Watu na spishi nyingi za karibu-binadamu watapata haiwezekani kupumua bila kinyago cha kupumua kwa sababu ya viwango vya chini vya oksijeni katika anga, isipokuwa katika urefu wa juu kabisa au ndani ya vipaji vya mazingira. Marekebisho ya kubadilisha umbo la dunia yamethibitika kuwa magumu. Watu wasio na vinyago vya kupumua wanaweza kuanza kupatwa na madhara mara moja. Idadi ndogo ya spishi za kigeni (na bila shaka viumbe wa asili) wataweza kupumua angahewa bila msaada. Mhimili wa sayari hiyo umepotoka kwa karibu digrii kumi kutoka kwenye ndege ya mzunguko, na kusababisha tofauti ndogo sana za majira katika mwaka mzima. Joto la wastani ni kati ya -5 na 29 ° C, na ni katika bendi za joto za starehe zaidi kwa wanadamu na spishi nyingi za karibu na binadamu. Idadi ya watu wa Sorella waliohesabiwa katika sensa ya Tapani Mwaka 12720 ilikuwa milioni 7.5 Karibu asilimia thelathini ya sayari hiyo imefunikwa na ardhi. Kuna aina nyingi za maeneo, kutia ndani vilima, milima, bahari za ndani, mito, na bahari kubwa. Sehemu kubwa ya ardhi tambarare imegeuzwa kuwa maeneo ya kilimo, na mashamba makubwa yanafunika sehemu kubwa ya uso wake. Mashamba hayo yanasimamiwa kwa njia ya kiotomatiki sana, na yanahitaji kazi kidogo ya kibinadamu. Mteremko mkali na maeneo yenye milima bado ni misitu ya asili ya ulimwengu huu, na jamii za terrace-style dome zinazotoka kwa ukubwa kutoka "mji mkubwa" hadi "mji mdogo" uliojengwa katika miamba, nyanda za juu, na milima. Starbord ya msingi ya Sorella, ambayo iko kwenye peninsula kubwa karibu na ncha ya kaskazini ya ulimwengu lakini kusini ya barafu ndogo sana ya polar, ni darasa la kawaida. Starport ni kikamilifu wafanyakazi na vifaa. Huduma za kurudisha vifaa zinapatikana, na kuna kiwanda kidogo cha kutengeneza meli kwa ajili ya marekebisho madogo-madogo na marekebisho. Bei ya ukarabati na marekebisho inaweza kuwa mara mbili ya bei ya kawaida, na kuchukua mara mbili ya muda mrefu kutimiza, isipokuwa moja ni washirika na sahihi smuggler cartel. Hifadhi hazifai hata kwa sababu zinaandikwa kwa urahisi.
