Official Name: Meksum III.
Local Name: Whaleland.
Type: Gas Giant in the sub-sector capital system, third planet, Agriworld.
Orbital distance: 1.03 AU (km)
Equatorial Diameter: approx. 270,400 km (Terra 12,756 km)
Rotation: 25h 28m 45s
Mass: 1,727 Terran masses.
Orbital Period: 578 Terran days (+1h 16m)
Atmosphere: very weird oxygen-nitrogen-hydrogen-methane cocktail, no techological taint addition or disease. Components: oxygen 21.4%; nitrogen 30.1%; hydrogen 19.5%; methane 28.7%; ammonium 0.3%.
Hydrosphere: humidity of atmosphere is ranging from 61 to 117%.
Axial Tilt: 23°29`
Gravity: not directly applicable, due to the nature of GG. In the most explored upper regions it is 0.55 m per sec per sec. (equivalent to .056 g). the main problem isn’t gravity, but the pressure that reaches millions atmospheres and is enough to turn helium to metal.
Temperature: due to the own insidious processes all GGs are able to generate heat, and in the depth they are as hot as some stars. The temperature in inhabited area is around 23 degree Celsius, but it can increase up to 70 during the violent storms or accidental oxygen-hydrogen explosion.
Wind speed: in some regions it could reach 1,300m per second or more
Aestimare: D673
Tithe Grade: Aptus Non.
Lifeforms, Autochthonic: multi-cellular highly organised organic life with ‘flying plankton’ as a base. Among other forms there are flying whales feasting on plankton and several predator species. All have some form or hydrogen-containing sacs or/and planer-wing and natural jet engine.
Lifeforms, Introduced: Several.
Population: around 10,000, hunters, gatherers, local service, Adeptus Mechanicus supervision of jet-isles.
Archaeotech Resource: Relic form of jet-isle, a.k.a. ‘Flying Palace’. Platform hovers with the help of air current catching and hydrogen-fed jet engines. Also several exploration ‘submarines’. All tech dated M24-M27 and definitely of human origin…
Notes:
First Catalogued: 345.M32, Scout vessel “Doomsday” cpt. Lamantino. Orbital Augury Only. Annexus Imperialus.
First imperial landing: 345.M32, Scout vessel “Doomsday” cpt. Lamantino.
Brief history of Agri World Meksum Tertius.
This unusual gas giant was discovered and documented nearly in the same time as the rest of planets within the system. The strangeness of it is abnormally high percent of oxygen and H2O in the gas composition. Usual gas giants have only the lightest and simplest elements, namely hydrogen, helium, ammonium and methane, and less than 1 percent consists of heavier elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. What are the reasons aren’t exactly known but the Imperium so far encountered only 132 gas giants with potentially breathable atmosphere. The colonisation of gas giants never was seriously discussed, but extraction of oxygen and water in low gravity environment is definitely too good thing to pass by. For the renewability of such resources several life-forms were created and seeded into the GGs. It is unknown, whether such forms existed on some of them before or were they created from scrap, but the fact is similarity of such life forms in known part of the galaxy.
During the Age of Strife it became the sole exporter of food and oxygen to Hiveworld Meksum I.
