Kerren is the common/ colonial name for Kerros IV. Kerros is a G3 star in Sector 460.
Kerren is a very young planet. Only recently, geologically speaking has its Pangea, its first land, broken up into several smaller tetonic plates forming three continents. This shifting has created a huge number of high mountain ridges with accompanying valleys. These mountains are notabily sharper than any Terran Mountain, even the Canadian Rockies.
Volcanic activity is fairly common on Kerren, as is fitting for a younger planet. The occasional venting is keeping the O2 level down to prevent firestorms prevolent in early biospheres. The planetary temperature is fairly warm as a result of vented heat and atmospheric conditions. The medium tempertures for Kerren are about 7F or 5C greater than Earth's at the same latitude and altitude (use spring and autumn to calculate temperatures).
Kerren has a 8 degree tilt. That is a short tilt, less than one third of Terra's. Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall all look pretty much alike. There is just enough tilt to generate some intersting weather. Given the weaker electrosphere, there is more ionization producing greater electrical activity in the atmosphere.
The three continents are fairly closed together, not having enough geologic time to disperse. Each continent will have several "folds" or sub plates moving at slightly slower plates. This should give each continent three to four ridge lines/ mountain ranges. The plates have not subducted, but have compressed and pushed up, creating the notable mountains and deep valleys.
Kerros IV has a hydrographic percentage of 68, slightly less that Terra's 71%. The Ocean is a huge affair with emense storms and winds. The Seas between the continents are still fairly fierce, with strong winds and storms generated. These winds whip across the continents, channeled through valleys. In most places there is always a gentle breeze.
There will be an actual map someday. ... until then...
The Main Continent (both the name and the descriptor) looks a great deal like a right hand print with its thumb. Its land mass is 84,431.583 km² (36,220,545 mi²)- a bit larger than Terra's Africa, Europe, and Asia. The equator runs through the center of the palm. The thumb is called The Point, the home of the Pointers, is twice the landmass of Europe. The finger tips are deep ford like cuts, creating the Finger Seas.
The Southern Continent 8,286,850 km² (3,767,250 mi²) is large, broad, and fairly flat. It was etched by the last Ice Age with huge rocky buttes and channel valleys.
The Western Continent 7,686,850 km² (2,967,909 mi²) is a cluster of high plains, rocky ridges, and a number of rivers.
There is a trail of volcanic islands and a cluster of non volcanic islands between the hand and the Western Continent.
What does this mean to you?
It means that the average Kerren lives on a mountain side with a valley below them. Most of these valleys have a river of some depth between them. It is usually fairly windy. Clouds and Storms are fairly common, more so in the summer months. There are occasional period of cold if there is notable volcanic activity somewhere on the world.
There are only four sites on the map that are set, the rest are up to the GM to fill out (if they wish). FirstDown (where the ship landed), FirstWard (the first Warren set up by First Down), Sitebee (second colonial site, set up on other continent), Sitecee (3rd colonial site, on another continent). Other than these and some mention of these, the GM can populate their Kerren as they wish. (I will give a list of example ward names, with wings associated with and their colors, so they can just populate the world).
