Information
An ancient and formerly highly influential Hive World, the Techmage Lords of Belacane have, in recent centuries, lost much of their influence within the Adeptus Mechanicus. Once known across the galaxy for it's expertise in the manufacture of temporal stasis fields, the forge world appears now to solely be dedicated to hoarding it's technologies and jealously guarding it's sacred wisdom.
Equatorial Circumference
18,000 Miles.
Gravity
1.2G.
Years and Days
Belacane takes 408 Terran days to Orbit its star and spins on its axis every 30 Terran hours.
Satellites
No natural moons, but the planet maintains a vast starship repair complex in low orbit, together with a series of defensive weapons platforms.
Mean Surface Temperature
-40°C.
Principle Exports
Belacane once was a fabulously wealthy forge world which produced virtually the entire Imperial stock of stasis fields, stasis projectors and stasis grenades. However, the supply of these items has dried up over the past 500 years, and many whisper that Belacane now lacks the means to produce them.
The planet now exports a variety of field based technologies, such as void shields, for use on millions of imperial planets. It also produces (of course) large numbers of weapons, with a particular emphasis on large scale defence lasers for the Imperial Navy.
Principle Imports
Foodstuffs and some rare minerals.
Contact with other worlds
Belacane is in the Markayn Marches and is relatively close to such planets as Karrik and Prol IX.
