The Verse in Numbers v1.1

"The Verse in numbers" is a painstakingly-researched and thoughtful effort to make sense of a bunch of hooey. The concept, architecture, and many of the specifics of the Verse came from Joss Whedon, Tim Minear, and Jane Espenson. A lot of it was on screen, even if if only for a second.

The Verse IN NUMBERS

INTRODUCTION: LIES, damn lies and canon


What you are about to read is one of the most heroic efforts I have ever seen to make sense of something patently ridiculous. This is a work of exacting detail and you should be aware that once you start reading it, The Verse In Numbers will lead to calculators, graph paper, protractors and other math amphetamines. You will spend endless hours on Wikipedia, astronomy and astrophysics reference sites, reviewing, confirming and contending with the information here to the point where it might even eclipse that Warcraft addiction you've so carefully cultivated. I say all this because I want to make sure you understand that the next 100 pages (no, really, 100 pages) represent the most painstakingly-researched and thoughtful effort to make sense of a bunch of hooey that I've encountered, and I am speaking as somewhat of an expert on hooey. J. Chris Bourdier is an insane genius and the most dedicated fan of any show/movie with whom it has been my pleasure to work. And I humbly bow my head to his Awesomeness and the singular achievement that this document represents. Consider yourself warned. And while were on the subject of thoroughness and the crazy lengths fans will go to make sense of something which doesn't, I feel it's important to address the canonicity of this document, if for no other reason than to limit the number of e-mails I'll get if I don't. What Chris has done here is take two-plus years of editorial research and applied real-world science to it. He did not get to choose the facts of the Verse, he only got to try and make sense of them. The concept, architecture, and many of the specifics of the Verse came from Joss Whedon, Tim Minear, and Jane Espenson, plus a host of very talented folks who worked on both Firefly and Serenity. A lot of it was on screen (even if it was only for a second) and much of it was part of the voluminous background materials which are generated by any movie or TV show set in imaginary worlds. And, while we're at it, let's not forget Geoffrey Mandel, Serenity Graphic Designer, who designed many of the maps you see on-screen and who is the creator of The Official Map of the Verse, the development of which this document was originally drafted to support. Beyond that, there is the Official Serenity Role- Playing Game, the Serenity comics from Dark Horse, and several other licensed resources. The gaps which remained were filled in by The Map of the Verse Brain Trust, following closely the model for planet naming established by Joss. What was produced was then reviewed, and ultimately approved by, Universal Studios. So, what does that make The Map of the Verse? Canon? Extended Canon? Speculation? Here's how I like to think about it it's as accurate as it's possible to be right now. Meaning to say, it's 100 percent accurate, until Joss says it isn't. It's Joss' Verse, after all. We're just lucky that we were allowed to visit and bring home a few souvenirs. Plus, while the Verse belongs to Joss, all of us Browncoats live in it. And you should know your way around your own neighborhood better than anyone else. So if something here doesn't make sense to you, ignore it. If something doesn't fit your personal narrative of the Verse, don't use it. It's here for you, not the other way around. Oh, the timeline was created to give context to the rest of the material (and as such, was added last). It's total and complete speculation. Feel free to ignore it or use it as you see fit.

Note: This is a living document. There will be occasional updates as new planetary data is discovered or created, or as errors are found and corrected. Each planet or significant body has its own page to make it easier for readers to incorporate changes and updates. Revision History: Version 1.0 February 2009 Initial Release Version 1.1 March 2009 Added orbital periods to primary stars. Added the moon, Ita, to Whittier, updated terraform and discovery charts, fixed grammar and punctuation errors.

The Verse
34Tauri(2020) While the official discovery date for Uranus is March 13, 1781 by William Herschel, the planet was observed in 1690 by John Flamsteed, who thought that hed discovered a new star in the constellation of Taurus. He named the star 34Tauri. Later observers realized that 34Tauri was actually a planet, and the designation 34Tauri was removed from the record of discoveries. In July of 2020, another new star was discovered in the constellation of Taurus. The astronomer who discovered the star decided to reapply the designation, modified by the addition of the year. The new star became 34Tauri(2020). The name of the discoverer was lost in the exodus from Earth. Further study showed that 34Tauri(2020) was actually a small star cluster of five main sequence stars. Seven gas giants large enough to be brown dwarfs and seven Joviansized gas giants were also discovered in the cluster. Over the next few decades, dozens of terrestrial planets were revealed. A few of those showed the unmistakable signs of oxygen, nitrogen and water. For the first time, near-Earthlike conditions were found to exist elsewhere in the universe. Moons, asteroids, and other smaller bodies were speculated to exist in the star cluster, as well, which by all accounts was sizing up to be its own miniverse. Or the Verse, as it was dubbed in the media when news of the discovery was revealed. When the decision was made to abandon Earth, 34Tauri(2020) was chosen to be the exodus fleet's destination. Engine systems capable of long periods of acceleration would propel the evacuation fleet to approximately 1/3 of light speed. Even then, the journey would take roughly 120 years to traverse the 40 light-year gap between Earth and 34Tauri(2020).

Timeline
2020 2021
Star cluster in Taurus is discovered, designated 34Tauri(2020). Five stars and 14 gas giants found. Recycling programs beginning to fail, global warming increasing.

2027 TO 2042
Terrestrial planets found by the dozens in 34Tauri(2020). Most are believed to be within acceptable limits for terraforming.

P/2027(White Sun)03 showing chemical signature of Earthlike conditions. Despite reddish hue, P/2027(White Sun)04 showing similar conditions. It's official: Earth will lose the ability to sustain 21 century society and current population levels within 100 years. The quantum nature of gravity is deduced, allowing for rapid and unprecedented advances in gravity manipulation technologies. Creation of artificial gravity and gravity screening soon follow. Space technology development vastly accelerated by new discoveries. Due to the advent of gravity technology, terraforming can take decades instead of centuries. First theories for evacuating the Earth presented. Gravity manipulation technology makes evacuation plausible idea. Terraforming technology tested on Mars with positive results. Terraforming of Venus, Mars and Earth's moon begun. Terraforming efforts will be abandoned within two years due to a lack of native resources. Failure of terraforming efforts in the Solar System hit home. Global morale sink to new lows as riots break out in many major cities. Earth's governments decide that fast action is required to keep society from falling into chaos. As rebuilding Earths ecosystem no longer appears to be an option, a plan for mass exodus is proposed instead. The GEA (Global Exodus Alliance) is formed and given unlimited governmental authority and complete control over Earth's meager remaining resources as member nations cede their power to the organization. The GEA moves quickly to take control of infrastructure, police and military and most of the private sector as well, all in the name of mobilization of the greatest single endeavor in human history. Collection and storage of samples of all life on Earth begun. With plans for colonization in place, global resources mobilized, and construction of arks and ark modules on-going, the GEA makes its final move to cement control over humanity: The GEA publishes the "Articles of Alliance", a super-constitution which supersedes all other legal systems on the planet. As China and the U.S. are contributing most of the resources and much of the know-how to the Exodus Project, they take joint stewardship over the new "global government". Smaller countries are given a choice toe the line or give up any chance of having their populations join the exodus. Results are almost immediate unilateral capitulation of 98 percent of Earth's governments. The Alliance is born. First Wave: Dozens of robotic terraforming ships are launched. Their targets are two planets orbiting the Verse's central sun, a white primary, dubbed "White Star" (later, simply White Sun) by the Americans and "Bai Hu" or "White Tiger" by the Chinese.

Latest projections show Earth unable to support more than 5 percent of current population within three decades. GEA recommends a vast expansion of the Exodus Project and Alliance approves remaining cities will be systematically dismantled to increase the size of the ark fleet tenfold. Pollution runs wild as ark fleet is considered the only priority. Loading of ships begun with cargo, fuel, and stored genetic samples. Boarding of the ark ships begins. Over the last five decades, Earth population has dropped to around one billion due to starvation, disease, toxic contamination and criminal activities. Reproductive rates have dropped to near zero. Most of the Earth's population now lives in squalor. Although most ark ships will not depart until completely loaded (a process that takes years), survivors welcome the safe, sterile, climatecontrolled environments of the Ark ships after the horror Earth has become. A rich black market develops that sells positions in the boarding lottery, falsified medical certificates and other items needed to gain quicker access to the arks. The Alliance declares global martial law. First ark ships begin to depart. Priority is given to those ships populated with the ancestors of those who will act as the terraforming and construction labor force upon arrival. Loading of the ark ships is complete. Over a quarter billion people are contained in hundreds of ships ranging in size from a municipal stadium to a small city. Remaining planet-side population negligible the death rate during the years loading took place rose to near-extinction levels. Those who remain are either too ill to make the journey or are considered "undesirable" by the GEA. The final Ark ship leaves Earth orbit. All telemetry data from Earth ceases. It is assumed that remaining Earth population is 0.

Note:

Hera and Persephone were known as the Gateway to the Border. During the Unification War, Hera was firmly in the hands of the Independents. While Aphrodite held a significant Alliance presence, Hera was the jumping-off point to the rest of the Border, and to the Rim. While some continue to argue the strategic importance of Hera from the standpoint of military value and commerce, it was undoubtedly the center of Independent consciousness after the loss of Shadow. The Battle of Serenity Valley concluded the bloodiest engagement in the Unification War, and has been described by historians as Gettysburg and Vicksburg all rolled into one place. At the culmination of that battle, the Independents suffered their most crushing defeat, and lost their most strategic asset. While there were a few small skirmishes on other worlds, the Unification War effectively ended in Serenity Valley.

In 2470, Ita was chosen as a location for a secondary Alliance orbital drydock facility. However budget restructuring has left the Ita facility as little more than a holding facility and scrapyard. Towed to Ita has become a euphemism for permanent impound. While there is a small used spaceship business at Ita, most ships leave Ita in pieces. The scrapyards at Itas L4 and L5 positions are havens for small-time salvagers, both legitimate and otherwise.

Historical Note:
Burnham was the first brown dwarf to be Helioformed, or compressed and ignited into an artificial sun, also called a protostar. It was determined that Burnham was the best candidate for this very experimental and dangerous procedure, due to its distance from the more populous core worlds, and its small size. After the process was refined at Burnham, it was then applied to the other six brown dwarfs in the Verse. The last brown dwarf to be helioformed was Qin Shi Huang, and only after the process was deemed as errorfree as humanly possible.

Numbering the Verse


In the year 2020, an astronomer noted a new star cluster in the constellation of Taurus. He submitted his discovery and requested that the new clusters designation be 34Tauri(2020) in honor of his ancestor, John Flamsteed*. The name was approved. In the same year, a total of five stars were recorded in 34Tauri(2020), and listed as 34Tauri(2020)A through 34Tauri(2020)E. Also in that year, fourteen gas giants were also discovered. Seven were large enough to qualify as brown dwarfs, while the remaining seven were of Jovian size. As new bodies were discovered, they were added to the clusters catalog with the following naming convention: X/????(Y)Z X = Celestial Body P = Planet (gas giant or terrestrial) S = Satellite (of any size, also satellites of satellites) A = Asteroid ???? = Discovery Date (year) Y = Primary Z = Order of bodies discovered or cataloged for a particular primary So, Londiniums designation is P/2027(White Sun)03, which means that Londinium is the third planet to be discovered orbiting White Sun, and was discovered in the year 2027. Londiniums full designation, without common names is P/2027(34Tauri(2020)A)03. The full designation of New Luxor shows its place in the mapping of the Verse: S/2176(S/2032(P/2020(34Tauri(2020)A)01)01)02 New Luxor, discovered in 2176, was the second satellite to be found orbiting Santo. Santo, discovered in 2032, is the first and only satellite of the gas giant Qin Shi Huang. The gas giant Qin Shi Huang, discovered in 2020, was the first planet to be discovered orbiting White Sun. Note that the number at the end of the designation, Z, shows the order of discovery, not the bodys position in the system. To simplify the full designation above: 34Tauri(2020)A = White Sun, Qin Shi Huangs primary P/2020(White Sun)01 = Qin Shi Huang, the first planet to be discovered orbiting White Sun, and Santos primary S/2032(Qin Shi Huang)01 = Santo, the satellite orbiting Qin Shi Huang, and New Luxors primary S/2176(Santo)02 = New Luxor, the second of two satellites found to be orbiting, not Qin Shi Huang, but Santo instead. Even though Santo is large enough to be considered a planet in its own right, it is classified as a satellite because it is orbiting Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang is a protostar, or helioformed gas giant. It may be a star now, but its natural state is a gas giant, so its designation is that of a planet. Asteroids follow the same designation format with one change: Due to the high number of bodies that would be cataloged in an asteroid belt, the catalog order number, Z, counts from 1 through 9, then continues with a through y (excluding I, l, o, and z) before continuing with 10. For example: 1, 2,, 9, a, b, , x, y, 10, 11, 19, 1a, 1y, 20, etc.

*Note: To date, no one has been able to recover the astronomers name or home observatory from any record, so the astronomers relation to Mr. Flamsteed is highly suspect.

To Terraform or not
Dozens of planets and hundreds of moons. Each one terraformed a process taking decades to support human life. To be new Earths. What gets terraformed? Terraforming can be performed on any body that meets the following criteria: It has to be large enough for Hydrostatic Equilibrium to form it into a sphere. For a rocky body with a composition that would be useful to settlers, the minimum size is 970km in diameter, or the size of the asteroid Ceres. Anything smaller would have an irregular shape that wouldnt hold an atmosphere all over. Its diameter cannot be greater than 1.4 times ETW (Earth That Was) due to limitations in terraforming technology. The target must lie in a 13.5 AU wide band around the star. The inner and outer boundaries for this band depend on the stars temperature. Currently, our technology is much better at warming cold places than cooling hot places. What needs to be done? The gravity needs to be adjusted to ETW-normal. Heres the reason for the upper size limit. It is much easier with our current technology to increase the gravity of a planet than it is to decrease the gravity. A less dense world can be compressed to increase its density and gravity. A world with more than twice the surface area of ETW (1.4 x the diameter) is too big to terraform. Continents and seabeds need to be sculpted. Atmospheric gases need to be released from the crust water as well. What may well be lifeless rock needs to be processed into soil that will grow plants and crops. The planets rotation and axial tilt need to be adjusted so that the planet has a 24 hour day and a standard 365day seasonal year (see below). Plant and animal life needs to be introduced. Atmosphere processors are set to a maintenance mode to help maintain an ideal mixture of gases until the biosphere develops enough to handle that function. The planet is now ready for colonization. One of the biggest challenges faced by terraforming crews is the introduction of plant and animal life into a created environment on an alien world. How are plants and animals going to cope with seasons that will last for years? And how will colonists cope with calendars that are different for every world? They wont have to. The terraforming crews will adjust the rotation period of the planet for a 24-hour day. Theyll adjust the axial tilt to 23.439 degrees. Then theyll add a second rotational axis at 0 degrees (perpendicular to the plane of the system) with a rotation period of 365.25 days. This second axis will cause the planet to cycle through one complete seasonal year in 365.25 days, regardless of where the planet is in its orbit around its sun.

Summers will last just long enough to ripen crops, and not so long as to bake them in the fields. Animals with millions of years of migrations wired into their brains will know when to migrate away, and when to come home. The colonists calendars will be aligned to the seasonal year instead of the planets orbital revolution. And Unification Day (along with every other holiday) will be celebrated on the same day on every world in the Verse.

Afterword: Show your work!


Virtually every math teacher in Creation While some of the numbers herein were picked out of the blue, most are derived from some simple formulas applied to a baseline set of values. Most, if not all, of the planetary data is based on objects from our solar system. All terrestrial 24 21 planets use Earth diameter (12,742km) and mass (5.9763x10 kg, converted to 5.9763x10 metric tonnes) as a starting point, scaled up or down, depending on the planet. I decided that any terraformed moon would either start or end with a generally earthlike composition. As a result, moons were defined compared to Earth numbers instead of being based on 27 any existing moon. For Jovian gas giants, I used Jupiters diameter (142,984km) and mass (1.8985x10 kg) as my starting point. I used fractions of Sols diameter (Sol=1) and mass (Sol=1) for the stars and brown dwarfs / protostars. The numbers given for the stars are accurate according to a chart describing stellar classes on Wikipedia. The starting numbers for the brown dwarfs / protostars are best guess. I decided that the helioform process (compression and ignition of a brown dwarf) would reduce the bodys diameter to 60% of its original value while the mass remained constant. Orbital periods are based on Earth for planets and stars, and the Moon for moons and planets around protostars. Since the protostars were originally super-massive gas giants, it made sense to treat the planets orbiting them as very large moons instead. So, their periods are listed in days instead of years. For those planets, their gas giant or protostar determines their orbital period. A note about orbital periods and the standard Earth calendar: Any celestial body that orbits a star larger and hotter than Sol is going to orbit farther out, and have a longer orbital period. Currently, we define a year as one trip around the Sun, but a planet such as Londinium takes much longer. Londiniums orbital period is 8.61 years or 3,143 days. Every planet would have to rewrite the calendar to suit itself. But that would be a pain for writers (and our heroes) to deal with. So lets do this: Lets adjust the axial tilt to match the Earth, and then add a slower rotation axis perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, one that completes every 365.25 days. That will create a seasonal change that will mirror Earth. After that, its a simple matter to ignore the planets orbital period and go with the calendar. The same can be accomplished for any and th all planets in the Verse. So, Dec 25 on Londinium is a winter day (northern hemisphere), regardless of where the planet th is in its orbit. Also, Dec. 25 is the same day for every planet in the Verse at the same time. 34Tauri(2020): I wanted to start somewhere plausible when creating a number designation for the planets in the Verse. Since there are something like five million cataloged objects in the sky (or is it five billion?), every random series of letters and/or numbers that I threw together, based on the various designations I found, came up with an existing body. While I was researching moons of gas giants to determine plausible distances for Verse moons, I came across an article about John Flamsteed and his mistaken designation for Uranus. It turned out that in the 300+ years since then, 34Tauri was never reissued to an actual star. So that gave me a plausible starting point. I placed the Verse in the constellation of Taurus, and set its distance at 40 light years. While Ive never heard Joss or Tim say specifically, the most common assumption is that the voyage took roughly 120 years. That means an average cruising speed of just over 1/3 light speed. We can assume that the ships accelerated slowly over long periods to reach that speed. I appended a discovery year of 2020 onto 34Tauri, giving 34Tauri(2020). Stars are capital letters after the date, so White Suns designation is 34Tauri(2020)A. Protostars were originally gas giants that were artificially compressed and ignited, so they are listed as planets, with the P/ designation. Lux becomes the name given to P/2020(34Tauri(2020)A)02, or simply P/2020(White Sun)02. Moons start with S/ for satellite. Planets that orbit protostars are simply large moons, even if they have moons of their own, so those start with S/ as well. Moons of moons also start with S/. Asteroids start with A/, and are numbered with 0-9 and a-y (lower case), excluding i, l, o, and z. The dates used in the planet designations are an attempt to show a history of discovery. The five stars and 14 gas giants were discovered roughly at the same time, so they all show the year at 2020. More planets were discovered during the next few decades, so their dates reflect that. The large jump in the moon dates is my way of saying that the moons were first observed from the colony arks as they approached the cluster.

Planet Sizes: What is terraformable? What is too big, and what is too small? Ive determined that in order for a body to be terraformed, it has to be large enough for Hydrostatic Equilibrium to take place. Hydrostatic Equilibrium occurs when the mass and gravity of a body will pull the shape of that body into a sphere. Current theory says that the minimum size is 900km in diameter for rocky bodies. Thats the minimum size for a dwarf planet. The asteroid, Ceres, at 970km in diameter is just above that. So, Ive set Ceres as the smallest body suitable for terraforming. Since Joss has said that hundreds of moons were also made into new earths, then those terraformed moons had to be at least 970km in diameter. Ive arbitrarily set the upper limit at 18,020km in diameter. That will give the world twice the surface area of the Earth. That seems to me to be big enough. Under normal circumstances, a moons mass would be based on its volume. However, Jill Arroway of The Signal Podcast (which you all listen to regularly, right?) proposed that a moon would be compressed, increasing its density so that its surface gravity would increase to roughly Earth normal. So a moons mass is based on the square of its radius. Numbers given for moon diameter are after terraforming, even for those worlds not yet terraformed. A note on mass: Typically, astronomical data is given in kilograms. For example, Earths mass is given as 5.9763x10 kg. However, the other Verse material produced so far by QMx uses the metric tonne (including the European spelling). So 21 mass numbers here have been converted for consistency. As a result, Earths mass becomes 5.9763x10 metric tonnes. Scale: The scale used in this pack is Earth=3 inches, and is accurate to the hundredth of an inch. To give an idea of the scale, here are some common numbers: Earth: 3.00 Moon: 0.35 Jupiter: 33.66 Sun: 327.74 The maximum size that I can draw a silhouette in Word is 22, so the silhouette scale sizes for the gas giants, protostars, and stars are given numerically. The silhouettes are to scale with each other and/or to scale with Sol, but are not to scale with the planets and moons. Quote: Show your work! is the bane of every math student hit with a sudden flash of inspiration on a test. Its always followed by the equally grating If I cant see how you got the answer, then its wrong! Written with loads of advice and suggestions from Andy Gore, Ben Mund, Geoff Mandel, Jill Arroway, Nick Edwards, and Chris Bridges.
