Rhino

The captain glanced through the heavy glass window to her left. A view panned out before her, of reddish sands carpeting the rocky ground, clinging to the now-abandoned colony of New Amkhemar. Mountains towered in the distance above the ghost town.Gazing back beyond the mountains, she looked up past the twinkling stars. Far above her, taking up most of the sky, she could see Ishtar. The pink-streaked gas giant with its gorgeous red rings towered over her. It was a sight few others could boast to have seen. - Indrol gazes out over Rhino.
Rhino, also called Ishtar VI, was the 6th largest moon of the planet Ishtar of the Seiros system. Rhino was a small rocky moon with frozen water at its poles, a little smaller than Toril's moon. It had a planar portal rift deep within the frozen caves bordering its mantle under its southern pole, guarded by the Watchers.
Rhino's main inhabitants were the Brood, who dominated most of the planet, spread out into hives. They were most common in the Sea of Burgundy, on the south.
It was the target of the Khepri expeditions. It took 6-8 years to fly to with a Skipjammer.
The Thayan Outer World Expeditionary Range detected the planar portal within Rhino, so they sent their first expeditionary ship in 1508, Khepri I, to found a colony when it arrived in 1515, called New Amkhemkar. It was the target of the Khepri II ship, which set off in 1512 and arrived in 1518. Whilst Khepri II was travelling, the colony went suddenly dark, not responding to Sending spells anymore.
