The Saturn system
Saturn, its rings and moons, and the transport network that ties the settlements together.
The settlements sit in a small corner of a large system. The pages here explain the places and the paths between them.
Getting around the Saturn system
Every leg of the Saturn network is flown by the engine whose exhaust speed matches the speed change the leg needs.
Saturn's rings
On the reference date the Sun stands 13.35 degrees above the ring plane, and the rings show their lit north face.
Titan's atmosphere and flight
Titan's air is 4.4 times denser than Earth's and its gravity is 0.138 g, so an 8-tonne rotorcraft hovers on 39.4 kW where Earth would demand 1,616 kW.
Spin gravity and counter-rotation
The Long Passage turns her habitat drums once every 20 seconds, and the floor presses on your feet with 0.56 times your Earth weight.
