Terran Standard |
Conditions approximating those on Terra |
| 16-25 |
1 |
Terran Steppe |
Free standing water is under 40% of the planetary surface. Conditions resemble those of the Arid Planets except that forested and well watered stepelands would be considerable larger in extent. |
| 26-34 |
1 |
Terran Arid |
Free standing water is under 25% of the planetary surface. Conditions
tend toward desert in the interiors of land masses. Better watered regions
resemble Terran prairies and stepplands. |
| 35-39 |
1 |
Terran Desert |
Free standing water is under 10% of the planetary surface. Conditions
resemble Terran deserts over most of the planet. Extreme conditions
approximate those described in "Dune". Humanoid types require
some form of protective clothing and filter masks to prevent dehydration
and to protect against high dust concentrations in the air. |
| 40-49 |
1 |
Terran Swamp/Jungle |
Free standing water ranges from 70% to 85% of the planetary surface,
with much of the land surface low-lying. Arms of the shallow seas often
penetrate far inland, providing ready sources of moisture for
precipitation. Humidity levels are high and precipitation tends to be
fairly heavy and constant. |
| 50-59 |
1 |
Terran Tundra |
When planetary temperatures are low, a large portion of the water will
be "locked in" by surface ice or by permafrost lying 20 to 50 cm
below the surface of the soil. The effect is quite "desertlike"
and tundra conditions could be described as "cold desert". |
| 60-64 |
1 |
Terran Ocean |
Free standing water exceeds 80% of the planetary surface, conditions
across most of the planet will tend to be maritime in nature. Land masses
tend to be small, with many island archipelagoes and individual islands
dotting the lanetary seas and ocean. The humidity will be high and the
precipitation adequate to heavy, especially where temperatures are high. |
| 65-74 |
2 |
Terran Standard w/out Seasonality |
The planet is marked by clearly defined and relatively unchanging belts
of climate. Illumination and temperatures are quite high in equatorial
regions. Depending on available moisture, either a dense jungle or desert
belt will develop along the equator. Middle latitudes have temperate to
tropical climates and temps. |
| 75-77 |
3 |
Terran w/Extreme Seasonality |
Large portions of the planet experience continuous day or continuous
night for long periods. Illumination and temperatures will be high during
the summer period, and sub arctic during the winter. |
| 78-84 |

Terran w/Normal Axial Tilt, Outer Edge of Ecosphere |
Conditions are somewhat chilly but not overly severe. |
| 85-88 |
