ii. Gan Data:
Gan
First and
primary colony world of New Israel. Low axial tilt results in mild seasons.
Low lats are lush jungles. Polar lats are temperate. Population centers
include several associated Niponocorporate Arcologies. Druze areas are
primarily in the few semi-arid regions.
Gan's two moons are medium sized (1/2 and
1/3 the size of Luna, respectively). Both are colonized.

of Naveh. It has several thin rings with shepherd moons, and intense radiation
belts that challenge navigation within several planetary radii.

A. Gehenem Data:
Gehenem
The innermost
large moon of Goliat is Io-like, with constant volcanic activity from the
intense tidal stresses on the moon. The tenuous atmosphere is composed
mainly of sulphur and nitrogen gases. The human presence on Gehenem is
in the form of three resource extraction complexes.
Gehenem passes through several zones of
intense radiation during the day. Any human not well protected during these
times is subject to potentially lethal doses.

Yafo
The second
large moon of Goliat is almost entirely covered in a water ocean teeming
with native life.
Human habitations on Yafo are primarily
on the small silicate islands and on floating living complexes that move
with the ocean's currents.
Yafo has a strong magnetic field that protects
it from the harsh radiation environment of its orbit.

C. Metzada Data:
Metzada
This planet-sized
moon is the population center of the Naveh system.
Metzada is covered by a world forest
and hosts a wide variety of life, though the biologies are incompatible
with terrestrial metabolisms. Terrestrial plant and animal species have
been introduced into the environment in specified areas. Aside from
competition for base nutrients, the incompatible biologies have not
resulted in contamination problems.

vectors to/from the inner system and Goliat almost always require a swing-by

naval base.

Notes
i: Midbar Data
Midbar
The harsh
and hot environment of Midbar provides a challenge to the colonists carving
out a livable area. The scattered small sea/lakes are alkaline and poisonous
without chemical and/or biological filtration and decontamination.
Midbar is home to some of the best terraforming
and colonial engineers in Human space, and their efforts are visible from
orbit as the barren land can be seen greening in several regions.

Outposts Outposts within the three systems of New
Israel have populations of up to a few thousand each. Within the NI systems
there are several enclaves of co-displaced Druze (totaling about 150,000
in the E-Indi and Naveh systems), with similar relations with the state
as in the late 20th century (voting rights, military service, etc.). Several
joint Japanese-Israeli techno/industrial/corporate arcologies were established
near the first Gan settlements and are still active today. A number of
small Christian and benign Islamic communities exist within NI, but non-Jewish
population does not exceed 3% of the total.
Old Israel A tight, militant community of 70 thousand
“Shomrim” (guardians) live in the radioactive and bio-hazardous wastes
in and between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv, slowly decontaminating and reclaiming
land. By the early 2190's about half of Old Tel-Aviv is one again habitable
- the central region consisting of a large crater. With the Old City of
Jerusalem a plane of glass, decontamination and reclamation effotds focus
on the surrounding valleys and hills.
Diaspora Approximately 8 million Jews live outside
the New Israel systems. Five million live on Earth, mainly in the Americas
and Europe, with the rest scattered throughout the Core Worlds and Inner
Colonies. Three million are NI citizens by the New Law of Return. Immigration
rate to NI from Earth and inner worlds is approximately equal to the NI
birth rate. At present NI population doubles every 15-20 years

Tzfat. On the second planet, the colony
of Tzfat, with a population of 50,000 was wiped out by the Islamic Federation
in 2126. The harsh environment world is either unpopulated or has a small
IF colony.
Population The total population of New Israel is
currently approximately 34.1 million in and around the three NI systems.
5 million Jews live on Earth, with about 3 million more through the Core
Worlds and the Inner Colonies.
