2 significant moons: Epsilon Indi A II a mean orbital radius 204,000 km (0.(24) s Imperial) mass 6.0 x10^22 kg ((27).(33)(49) B12 Imperial)
Epsilon Indi A II b mean orbital radius 618,000 km (1.(12)(42) s Imperial) mass 5.7x10^21kg ((02).(37)(07) B12 Imperial)

Mean surface temperature 20 Celsius, (appx E+5 degrees).

Four continent sized land masses, three of them mostly north of the equator, one south, noteworthy Island chain between Continent One (Wimarglr) and Continent Two (Taalmisch), north and west of Continent One. Continent Three (Grawlshar) is south of planetary equator, west of Continent Two. Continent Four (Hashiboor) is northwest of Continent Three, slightly north of west from Continent Two.

Sea level pressure 1060 millibars, nitrogen eighty percent, oxygen eighteen, argon, helium, water vapor, and carbon dioxide making up the rest.

Calmena is under Imperial Interdict, and held by fractal demons. Humans are enslaved under primitive conditions. Do not approach closer than 1 Imperial hour without sanction from the Office of the Merlon

The planet is first described in Preparing The Ground, which takes place partly on the southern coast of Continent Four, but mostly in the central part of Continent One (Wimarglr to the natives). Building The People mostly takes place on the northern coast of Continent One. Setting The Board takes place mostly on the southern coast of Continent Four (Hashiboor to the natives)
