A'a'suni is a moderate population world, too many sophonts to be an agricultural world but not enough to be an industrial world. This world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor. This a low technology world with technology competency below the standard for Charted Space. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Pact Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. A'a'suni, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of an Imperial knight and a baronet, and the fiefdoms of a marquis and a viscount. All four are members of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world. This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling Scout Service starships and personnel. This is the homeworld of the Athar, a Minor Race. During the Long Night this world was named Iris.

Astrography and planetology

A'a'suni and its moon, Inuirsuk, are binary planets, each spiraling around a central point of gravity once every seven days, as they orbit the central star. The planet is covered in layers of ice many kilometers thick and the local life has adapted itself to the severe cold.

Native Sophont: Athar

The pacifistic Athar are descended from hexapodal (six-limbed) carnivores. They are rarely seen off-world as their ideal temperature is -130°C and they would boil to death in normal human temperatures.

History and background

The world is actually run by a bureaucracy divided into a number of Councils, all concerned with different aspects of life on A'A'Suni. Some of the most important include the Council of the Environment, the Council of Provision, and the Council of Defense. Usually a single extended family forms the core of a Council, and is headed by the leader of the family.
