Gesse

Rawak is notable more for its remarkable geology rather than its political importance. Another planet out in the boondocks at the edge of the Zambarau Concord, Rawak is a haven for Drones, as despite the fact that the environment is suitable for Astatines, the atmosphere contains lethal amounts of hydrogen sulphide only survivable to Drones. The land is desertified, the oceans are Canfield oceans; saturated with microoragnisms that make tham purple and gelatinous (which release the hydrogen sulphide). 'Rawak' means 'bola' as the planet has three axes of rotation (rather than just one), causing it to spin wildly, the sun criss-crossing randomly across the pale green sky (from the hydrogen sulphide)! But even more remarkable is the ruins of an ancient civilization that once existed on the planet, suspected to have been wiped out or forced off the planet by pollution (which would explain why the planet is in its current state).
The sun of Rawak is a main sequence orange star called Gesse. The solar system is rather sparse, with a thin asteroid belt at 40 million kilometres, the ringed planet Rawak (with a diameter of 11,500 kilometres) is in a slightly elliptical orbit at 80 million kilometres, then there is a slightly more substantial asteroid belt at 170 million kilometres. The only other planet is Nu, a small orange/white gas giant out at 1.2 billion kilometres. The solar system as a whole has a lot of asteroids in their own orbits, due to the lack of gravitational influence from lots of planets to shepherd them into asteroid belts.
