Planetary Data
Geographic Data
Haldane is an enormous terrestrial world, 19,800 km in diameter. Its surface gravity is 1.8g. The planet has a very thin atmosphere that is too sparse for baseline humans to endure without a vacc suit - surface atmosphere pressure is a mere 0.08atm. There are only trace amount of ice at its poles.
Demographics
Haldane's immense gravity means that very few people other than certain Mirandolans can stand it for any length of time. With a population of only 6 million, the planet is the most sparsely inhabited of all the Mirandolan worlds. Almost all of the people here have an increased tolerance to high gravity, and many of the most recent generation have been gifted with the ability to walk unsuited on the planet's surface.
Most visitors to Haldane's surface are antagonistic Republic officials, a fact that has colored the citizens' perception of outsiders.
Economics
Most spaceborne traffic passes Haldane by, stopping only long enough to gorge on one of the system's five gas giants before jumping into either the heart of Mirandolan space or out to Aellai System. The planet's only real significance is its position on the edge of Mirandolan space.
Haldane's limited industrial sector is dominated by DVB Plastics, which uses a specially designed photosynthetic bacteria to manufacture large sheets of pliable plastics that are used as base components elsewhere in the sector.
