Rech is an Imperial agricultural, pre-industrial world located on the Spinward Main in Lanth Subsector of the Spinward Marches. In addition to Rech Startown, other major settlements include Aaski and Blake's Town.
Rech is a world with vast flatlands, known for its smoked meats and fine leathers. The turbulent atmosphere spawns tornadoes on a regular basis, and the high oxygen content is poisonous to humans and poses a severe fire hazard.
Proposed X-Boat Station
Prior to the Fifth Frontier War, the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service expressed interest in establishing an X-Boat link from Rhylanor (Spinward Marches 2716) to Rech to Dinomn (Spinward Marches 1912) and therefore on to Regina (Spinward Marches 1705). Rech lies two jump-4 jumps away from Rhylanor (Spinward Marches 2716) on a likely path toward Regina (Spinward Marches 1910), making it a candidate for the new X-Boat stop. Rech falls along the jump-2 path from Tureded (Spinward Marches 2414) to Dinomn (Spinward Marches 1912), and Rech's neighbor at Wypoc (Spinward Marches 2011) is Amber-rated so possibly not a preferred stop.
System Data
According to the Second Survey, Rech has an important index (Ix) of -1, an extended economic rating of 966-1 (9 Resources, 6 Labor, 6 Infrastructure, -1 Efficiency), an extended cultural index of 9678 (9 Homogeneity, 6 Acceptance, 7 Strangeness, 8 Symbols), a Nobility index of BCD (Knight, Baron, Marquis), 15 worlds (6?) in the system, and -378 Resource Units (RU).

Rech has a decent highport, and a serviceable downport, but due to the harsh atmospheric conditions, ships must have special permits (and a special streamlining configuration) to land on the planet. Most of Rech Startown consists of subterranean starship berths accessible by elevator. (Starport plans are available in GURPS Traveller: Starports.)
Non-Canon
- Jonathan Sterlock has detailed Rech's main planet and a prison ice world for MegaTraveller.

It also gives rules for generating MegaTraveller characters with Rech backgrounds, ground and air vehicle write-ups, and a short adventure.
- Across the Spinward Main is a home campaign that visits Rech and includes a continent map and some play logs that mention the Marquis Rech.
