Aisha has both an unbreathable thin atmosphere and a lack of surface water making habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. The governance of this world is from Irash (Empty Quarter 2036). It is a member of Third Imperium in the Udusis Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Domain of Antares. Aisha, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.

History & Background (Dossier)

A pleasant desert world within the Six Subsectors, Aisha – named after the Prophet Muhammad’s nine-year-old bride – is the site of a long-standing Imperial Ministry of Colonization project. Some ‘touchup’ terraforming was conducted, especially on the planned site for the first city. While colonists are solidly orthodox Sunni Muslims, they are not related to the local Arab cultures, but have been brought in from Arab Muslim settlements from the important world of Conda (Daibei 2718) a century before the Imperial Civil War.

This system is rather different than the other three systems, being Arab Muslim rather than American Indian Christian/Animist/Hindu. It’s also more closely tied to ‘Standard Imperial Culture’, rather than distinctively Emptyheaded ways of thinking. The locals like to think of themselves as an up-and-coming system, but excluding population growth, there hasn’t been much progress made in the three centuries since the initial colonization. On the other hand, there hasn’t been a lot of declension either, as new money continues to be pumped into the local economy, from both their distant homeworld and the Imperium herself.

As this system is ruled directly by the Imperial Ministry of Colonization, there are enough Imperial Navy SDB ships to deter all of the run-of-the-mill pirates in the area.
