Rissa is a poor, low-population hellworld with a population less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Abidal Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

• This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

Astrography and Planetology

• This world lies within the Rissa Gateway region.
