History & Background (Dossier)
Kuch is a Die Back World. Over the centuries, various organizations within the Preserve have sited small outposts on this world. Some have served as military facilities, while others were the sites of survey bases or mineral extraction operations. All are now ruinous and derelict. These are favorite locations for adventurers and treasure seekers, among others. A wealth of valuable artifacts can be found by those willing to skirt laws which assert that the state or an organization has possession of such objects, rather than the individual who recovered them.
It is a Danger World and is designated as an Amber Zone. It presents particular risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that are not well understood.
