History

The planet Rache was first charted by a Pakled ship some 210 years ago. The residents at that time, an isolationist race known as the Kau'ri, were engaged in a massive civil war which would result in their complete self-destruction fifty years later via a massive mutual thermonuclear weapons exchange. Rache was listed as uninhabitable, and extremely dangerous; it would not be visited again for over a century. When a science vessel was dispatched to reexamine the planet, it was found to have been the subject of massive terraforming by unknown parties; a research station was placed on the planet for the dual purposes of finding out exactly what happened, and examining the giant cosmic region known only as Gayle's Ruins (an area of intense cosmic activity, similar to the Badlands).

Economy

Latinum-based. Even though it is officially a UFP colony, there is very little actual contact with the Federation.

Tech Level

Modern

Culture

Typical isolated colonial/scientific mixture.

Notes

Miaris Station, the largest settlement on Rache, was built on the northernmost peninsula of the planet's only continent. Christiane Settlement was built on one of the islands in the southern hemisphere fifteen years ago, by a team of independent researchers. The entire planet is in a completely isolated region of space, thanks to Gayle's Ruins, but maintains contact with the Federation via subspace and occasional duty rotations/supply shipments from DS12.

Miaris Station's current administrator is Captain Jeannette Fairbourne.
