A poor, non-industrial desert world in the Arar Subsector of the Massilia Sector. Gasha is a member of the Imperium and is host to Research Station Alpha (Massilia). The world is home to the Ilraiki.

During the Long Night this world was named Uugbi.

Gasha is a cold, desert planet and the location of the Yamashi Research Institute. The Institute colonized Gasha in 453 to study the Ilraiki race and its evolutionary adaptation to this planet as it grew colder. Gasha's climatic change was caused by an increase in its orbital diameter due to the near passage of another star.

Astronomical calculations place the star RS-6732C-5f only one-half of a light-year from Gasha's primary approximately 150,000 years ago. This close passage disturbed the course of both suns and their attendant planets to such an extent that the systems are proving a valuable laboratory in the study of adaptive evolution.

After the Rebellion in 1116, Gasha declared its allegiance to Lucan.
