Gushnemasha has an ideal environment for producing agricultural goods and an balanced population between 10 and 100 million. This world is a satellite of a gas giant or another planet in the system. The world lies substantially outside of the habitable zone of the system and environmental temperatures are well below the freezing point of many gases. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Mimu Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Lancian Cultural Region and the Domain of Vland. Gushnemasha, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight and the fiefdom of a baron. Both are members of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world. During the Long Night this world was named Kin.

Astrography and planetology

Gushnemasha is located on the Vilani Main.

Gushnemasha is the outer satellite of a large gas giant orbiting many AU distant from the system primary. Because it lies deep in the outer zone the planet receives almost no energy from the star, it is permanently dark and frigidly cold.

Eighty percent of world’s surface is covered in dense, ice-sheets, which lowers temperatures still further by reflecting solar radiation. The only reason Gushnemasha is inhabited is because it is volcanic. The southern hemisphere of the planet is dominated by a vast volcanic crater surrounded by a ring of mountains. Lining the edges of the crater are independent cities, some housing many thousands, others home to just a few hundred. Geothermal heat warms the atmosphere within the crater and thaws some of the ice, providing breathable air and fresh water, and a rich environment to power their extensive greenhouse-based agricultural system.

History and background

The first settlers on the world were Vilani isolationists who expounded the virtues of a slower, more primitive way of life. To this day the population dislike advanced technology, but despite this life on Gushnemasha is comfortable, pleasant and productive.

During the First Imperium the world was host to a Scout Base.
