Dawnworld has a day of 34 hours and 2minutes. It orbits a small gas giant (47.8k Dia) once every 148 planetary days, at an average distance of 1,195,000km (orbit 50). Despite the close proximity of the gas giant to the main star (.2Au, orbit 0), the average surface temperature is -86c. Landmasses are bare and often volcanic as Dawnworld is a very new world geologically.
Though it is not jump masked by its bluish white dwarf star, it is within the 100 diameter limit of the gas giant it revolves around.

  Some travel times:
          Jump point to    Jump point     Gas Giant to
          Dawnworld        to Gas Giant    Dawnworld
          3585000km        4780000km       1195000km
  1G      10.5 h                   12.1 h                6.1 h         Of course these times assume turn-
  2G        7.4 h                     8.6 h                4.3 h         over and deceleration at mid-point.
  3G        6.1 h                        7 h                3.5 h         If you simply burn thrust all the way
  4G        5.3 h                     6.1 h                   3 h         there, you'll have to do the math on 
  5G        4.7 h                     5.4 h                2.7 h         your own nav-comp.

    Main world details:
Starport:  E  GT: Class 1  A barerock landing pad with a clear run into a cave that will
                                          hold a ship of 1000tons or less.

Size:  8     8,403 miles  (13,520km)
                 Mass: 1.191016S  Density: 0.99S  Surface Gravity: 1.19G

Atmosphere:  8  Oxygen (12%) / Nitrogen ( 86%) / trace (2%)  Surface Pressure: 1.945 atms
                            The high pressure means 1.8% more oxygen enters the blood stream
                            than baseline despite lower actual percentage of oxygen.

Hydrographics:  5  52% of surface covered with water. Oceans frozen to a depth of 50m
                                 to 100m. Beneath ice is an ocean in which simple cellular life has
                                 been confirmed.

Population, Government, Law level, Tech level:  All zero (0), as this world is uninhabited.
Dawnworld is a very young world with simple one celled life just beginning in its seas and oceans. The land mass is bare and volcanic, and the sludge green gas giant it orbits is easily visible.
Though not the most hospitable of worlds, it's breathable atmosphere and real water oceans make it better than many worlds Humaniti has settled on. Under the frozen ice crust, the ocean is nearly as barren as the surface. Until you begin looking microscopically. Simple life is evolving here on this frozen world, and while this probably isn't interesting to most, not all travellers are mercenaries/bounty hunters/hired guns/adventurers. Some are explorers, biologists, or even archeologists.

Recent history:
     In 1096 a large privately funded exploratory group consisting mostly of Dolphins landed on Dawnworld. Which is the reason for the starport classification of E instead of X. They were there to answer several questions:  Why is the surface temperature almost 100 degrees above what it should be?  What are the large tunnel appearing lines visible from orbit?  And what materials and specialties will be needed to colonize Dawnworld. The scientific expedition appeared to be doing quite well.  Early in the year 1099, a resupply ship was unable to make contact with the expedition. Some of the crew took a cutter to the surface. Despite a thorough search they were unable to locate any trace of the scientists. It is a mystery that persists to this day.
     In 1118 the Imperium claimed Dawnworld, and shortly afterward an Imperial Scout survey team landed. The Imperial Starport Authority has announced that construction is slated to begin in 1122. Ministry of Colonization activity will probably begin the next year, if MoC follows its standard pattern.
