Imparisa is an icy, low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

  • This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
  • Vacuum worlds have no climate, but experience extreme differences in temperature between direct starlight and shade.
