Note nautical miles are easier to use 6000feet/ nautical mile,
and for Jaern makes for a much easier comparison/conversion.

Spectra type: 		G1		G2

There is not a lot of difference between the G1 and G2 type stars.  In
size, temp, or luminosity.  Sorry, but the book info is WAY off.
a) Onra should be much much bigger than its listed 'met' size.
b) Jaern is crispy, and the other 2 inner planets don't exist
		because they have burned away.

If the distances are taken in miles..its more reasonable.


It'd be like earth trying to exist at 1/3 the distance from the sun
that it is now, and thats no good.

hmmm..I got something different
	The numbers Kris and I are using for the maps that'll go online
850mi n to s, about 390 or so east to west.
	The thing can almost be straightened out into a nice big
	rectangle, so giving and taking a little, i'll use that
	formula for surface area.
	850 * 390 = 331,500mi^2
	1283.5km * 588.9km =  755853.15km^2
	2244met *  1029.6met =  2,310,422,4met^2
Also note my math sucks, so I could be wrong.
