Riimsha is an icy vacuum world with little or no atmosphere and a significant quantity of water frozen on the surface. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Sapphyre Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Riimsha, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world. The system supports both an Imperial Naval Base and a Scout Base with the additional starship traffic. During the Long Night this world was named Siin.

History and Background

The Imperial Navy base is home to the 991st squadron of Vonk Class Cruisers.

The Scout Base concerns itself with studies of the sub-planetary bodies, notably the rich cometary band that orbits the primary perturbed by the red dwarf companion.

The actual world of Riimsha has little of interest, the Class B starport offering all that travellers could need.

The majority of the population are Imperial Navy or IISS personnel who either have permanent residence or R&R while on leave.

World Starport (St)

Riimsha has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• There is an associated Imperial Naval Base, hosting elements of the 218th Fleet.
• It is home to the 991st squadron.
