History and Background[edit]

A primarily Vargr world, Rakhael is a balkanized world at war. The world has been red-zoned due to their use of dirty nuclear weapons against offworlders. Although small yield weapons have been used, so far the residents of Rakhael have yet to unleash the full potential of their gathered nuclear arsenal against one another. The Star Legion maintains a patrol distant from the mainworld to warn off any vessels coming into the system.
