Akussanja is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Perite Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

Description (Planetology)

Akussanja is tidally locked to its primary, Blaukasa.

Approximately every 2.5 standard years, the secondary star Iona comes close enough to Akussanja to have a significant effect on the planet.

Akussanja has two stars in the star system.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Scout Service base in the system is there to observe the unusual Akussanjan life forms. IISS scientists believe that studies of the biochemistry of these creatures might have applications in the cryogenics field.
