Unsharshe has both a thin tainted atmosphere and no surface water which makes habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and a million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Nulinad Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Domain of Antares. Unsharshe, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.

History and Background[edit]

The planet was colonized near the founding of the Imperium by people who thought that they had gone far enough to avoid the problems of politics. Back then, as today, they will state that they just wish to be left alone. They don’t like outsiders but when the Imperium overtook the planet they insisted that a starport be set up and that trade be allowed. Few will trade but occasionally a merchant will get lucky with someone who needs some sort of item that can’t be produced on planet.
