Rats is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Zhodani Consulate in the Iavdeiev Subsector of Ziafrplians Sector and in the Province of Iadr Nsobl.

History & Background (Dossier)

The world name betrays its Imperial origins. It is both a comment on the planet itself (it looks beautiful from space but the heat and humidity are uncomfortable on the surface), and on the common Terran rat, which was originally brought as a pet but quickly escaped into the wild to become the dominant land animal.

Most of the colonists accepted transport back to the Imperium after the First Frontier War. A stubborn, small group remained and assimilated into Zhodani culture peacefully.

World Starport (Sp)

Rats has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions.
