Calculating Satellite Number, Size, Orbits, etc

[SpaceBadger]

I 'm afraid that I am missing something in World Builder's Handbook (and my Book 6 is hiding from me somewhere!), but I have not been able to find where you determine the number of satellites that a world has, or what size those satellites are, or the distance at which they orbit the primary world.

There is one bit in paragraph 8a under Size-related Details which says that a satellite's orbital distance is calculated by multiplying the primary world's diameter by the satellite's orbital distance in diameters. Fine, except that there is nothing I've found telling me how to figure the satellite's orbital distance in diameters.

Am I missing something, or were these tables not included in the book? If not included, can anyone supply the info from errata, or from another book? I suspect that Book 6 should have this, but alas haven't been able to locate my copy recently.

All the data is in book 6. However, I don't know if putting that much into a post would fall under fair use...

Thanks, I will just have to look harder for Book 6.

Odd that it was left out of WBH!

That's in MegaTraveller Referee's Manual, Extended System Generation, step 36 on page 29. Roll to determine which column, then roll 2D6 and the table tells you how many radii.

Thank you!
