A poor desert prison world located in the Zeda Subsector of Dagudashaag. Mai is a member of the Imperium.

Mai is an astronomical curiosity and extremely unpleasant to boot. It is trapped between its twin stars, which orbit around the world. Two planetoids belts beyond the stars and two small moonless gas giants orbit beyond them. The gravity and EM activity of the stars make travel to the central world be difficult, and Mai is rarely visited.

Temperatures on the world are high and there is extreme volcanism. There is one small northern polar lake, the only free-standing water on the surface. It is here the main colony is located. Almost all of the population are ethnic Ziadd. Life is brutal and spartan, and adequate water is considered a luxury.

Mai also serves as a Ziadd prison colony, housing category Alpha prisoners in a facility directly under the southern pole.
