• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

Rusk


Rusk is the fourth planet in the New Texas system, named for Thomas Jefferson Rusk, the first Secretary of War of the short-lived Republic of Texas and general at the pivotal Battle of San Jacinto. It is the second inhabited planet in New Texas, with a population of around 400,000, though it is by no means cozy at an average mean temperature of -22C. Currently attempts to increase the atmospheric pressure and warm the planet through various methods are underway. For the moment, the few people on the planet live around the equator, which is covered in taiga while the rest of the planet is either tundra or frozen wasteland. Walking on the surface without a breathing apparatus is not advised as the low atmospheric pressure is akin to standing high up on Mount Everest.

It has a radius of 5446 km and orbits New Texas at 135,411,834 km. Its surface gravity is .78G, making it close enough to Earth’s to have few side effects for permanent residents. A day on Rusk is 21 hours and a year is 333.51 Earth days. The atmosphere is 0.89 atm and consists of N2 70.2%, O2 27.62%, Ar 0.6%, CO2 0.81%. It has a Water-Ice index of 71.69.
