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:

  • Sir Alric Dane Valmorra – Imperial Knight and Warden of Ramiva’s Ports
  • Marquis Calvon Terik dar-Trin – Imperial Noble and Fiefholder

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.

Starport & Infrastructure

  • Highport: TL-12 Class B installation with refined fuel, maintenance services, and limited ship construction.
  • Downport: Bare-bones shuttle stop with mobile refueling and landing pads for ships up to 500 tons.
