Ramiva (Spinward Marches 3233)

Summary

Ramiva is a harsh desert world orbiting the hotter edge of its star's habitable zone. It has a trace atmosphere, no surface water, and low gravity — a classic Hell World. Life here depends entirely on sealed habitats, extensive recycling systems, and imported resources.

Despite these conditions, Ramiva supports a population of nearly 90 million, living in subterranean cities carved from ancient mines. Society is tight-knit, militarized, and culturally conservative.

Government & Society

Ramiva is ruled by a charismatic dictator supported by a military-bureaucratic hierarchy. Its main export is trained mercenaries, sought after throughout the Marches for their discipline and tactical proficiency.

Imperial presence includes:

Capitol: Ramiva City

Cultural Notes

Ramivan society holds traditional values regarding marriage and monogamy. Marriage is seen as a cornerstone of moral character and familial stability. Monogamous unions are standard, and personal honor is closely tied to family loyalty. Military service and structured household roles reinforce these societal norms.
