Rabir has a thin, tainted atmosphere and a complete lack of surface water, making it poorly suited to sophont habitation. The system has a population of tens of millions of sophonts. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Arnakhish Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Rabir, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight (the Imperial representative to the world) and the fiefdom of a marquis. Both are members of the Imperial Landed Nobility who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level. During the Long Night this world was named Larshaa.

Rabir has a vague resemblance to Terra; in size, rotation, gravity, and natural satellites. Rabir has a 28 hour day and a 154 day yearly orbit, with no axial tilt. The atmosphere has elevated levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide, giving acidic precipitation.

Rabir has a solitary primary star.

	Remarks

Mainworld Conditions

Both plants and animals are accustomed to the high carbonic acid levels in the rain. The atmosphere is humid and hazy, and the whole surface of the planet is subjected to great fogs and mists.

Very few species of fauna exist, but a great many species of flora. All of the major land masses in the equatorial regions are covered by rainforest.

Native Lifeforms

The world is host to two of the most remarkable creatures that share a symbiotic union: the Ashdak Meshukiiba (Anglic: Ashdak Meshukiiba) and Spence's Dracaena Marginata shrimp.

History and Background

Rabir was originally settled by Vilani farmers and miners around -5500. The original Makhidkarun settlers, paying very little attention to the planet's non-profitable resources, ignored much of the fauna of Rabir. The colonies are situated in the far northern and southern latitudes. The colony is self sufficient at a TL–8 to TL–9 level, trading spice, food staples, rice, and ores off world through their two starports. The Vilani society is both welcoming and gregarious to travelers.

World Starport (Sp)

Rabir has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Rabir has a population of 40,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
