History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Raweh’s inhabitants are followers of a very small cult, the Church of Golden Sand, which believes that all the universe’s secrets can be understood by reading the strange shapes formed by Raweh’s winds in the world’s frozen sands. The Church's many curious customs make the planet an Amber Zone. [2]
An encounter between the Imperial Navy and three Sred*Ni Fireships at Raweh marked the only known encounter with I'Sred*Ni Protectorate forces within the Third Imperium’s borders. It ended with the destruction of all three Fireships after they failed to withdraw after encroaching on controlled space around the Imperial naval base.
