Rasu is a poor, industrial, high-population desert hellworld, with a billion or more sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item. This world is designated an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Nulinad Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Domain of Antares. Rasu, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight (the Imperial representative to the world) and the fiefdom of a count. Both are members of the Imperial Landed Nobility who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level. Less than 10% of the world's population is the Minor Race Bwap.

History & Background (Dossier)

Rasu demonstrates what can be accomplished by the extremes of human fanaticism and ideology. Conceived as a Utopia colony, Rasu is indeed free of crime, depravity and immorality, a state that is maintained by due diligence by the local population. The Grand Assembly, the governing body of Rasu, pays a bounty to those that turn in their neighbors or even outsiders for violations to the Assembled Orders, and the native population is raised with the belief that the preservation of Rasu’s way of life is of paramount importance. The fact that the Assembled Order is a body of laws and regulations riddled with minutiae, that the local law enforcement are highly responsive to such reports, and that many violations are punishable by heavy fines, imprisonment, death or exile earns this small world an Amber Zone rating according to the Travellers' Aid Society. Despite the beauty of the world, TAS does not recommend outsiders leaving Rasu’s quite extensive starport facilities.
