Meteor swarms present a considerable hazard to navigation.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
With a Red Zone interdicted mainworld, R'bak is the only system in Sagittarian Subsector.
Centuries ago, before the Third Imperium restored interstellar exchange, in-system shuttles fell into disrepair, and the world's inhabitants were isolated from their fellows in space. The ground society quickly descended to barbarism and forgot the people in orbit. In recent times, the habitat dwellers have replaced their interplanetary craft with Imperial aid, and they now have the equivalent of a B-class starport. At the Imperium's insistence, however, they have not re-contacted the population on the ground. The Imperial Navy has requested that the developing cultures be protected from the interference of outside activity. This last fact has drawn some attention in the sector news media, for the Navy is rarely interested in protecting developing cultures. Generally, it is the IISS that takes the interest in placing such worlds off-limits.
- Rumors of unusual lifeforms and psionic activity among R'bak's ground-dwellers persist. These rumors have led some researchers to pinpoint R'bak as the site of a top-security military research project. [2]
- In fact, the Navy presence (rather than IISS) is due to Tezcat colonies being established on the surface. Though there is as yet no interaction between the Tezcat and the Human ground-dwellers, the situation might well become tense in future decades.
