a.

Use base temperature for orbital zone:

b.

Calculate temperature based on distance:

11. Determine if planet has any native life, change atmosphere and climate accordingly.
12. Roll on Life Form Table (page 91) to see what creature exist.
13. Roll for intelligent life (2d6 result of 12 or 4d6 result of 24):
