A poor, low-population hell world located in the Bolivar Subsector of Dagudashaag. Lamdas is a member of the Imperium. The system contains a Scout Base.

The IISS maintains its subsector headquarters on this world. Its low oxygen levels and little free-standing water have prevented any serious colonization effort. Scout Service engineers are undertaking a feasibility study (as part of the Bolivar terraforming initiative) on simultaneously raising oxygen and water levels. A recent study has shown substantial quantities of water trapped below the polar and sub-polar surface, in the form of complex water-methane ice silicates. The terraforming feasibility is an ongoing project designed to provide much needed environment for colonization.
