Degushush has an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids. The system supports a population in the hundreds of millions. This world is a satellite of a gas giant or another planet in the system. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Old Suns Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland.
