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

  • This world has no free-standing water.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Darsesh Subsector of Matzen Sector.
  • This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
