Rakhael has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. This world is designated a Red Zone, with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here. It is a member of Julian Protectorate in the Cotan Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Hegemony of Lorean. 90% of the world's population is the Major Race Vargr.

History and Background

A primarily Vargr world, Rakhael is a balkanized world at war. The planet has been red-zoned due to its use of dirty nuclear weapons against offworlders. Although the 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.
