Legend

the third world orbiting the star Rish, Rishi was the backwater world where Talon Kaarde tried to hide from the Empire following the discovery and infiltration of his base on Myrkr. It was the homeworld of the Rishii, and was known as the base for the religious sect called the H'kig. The native Rishii allowed offworlders to visit the planet, so long as they didn't break the religious laws. Of the habitable land found on Rishi, much of it was swampland that had to be drained in order to provide a stable building platform. Over time, this created large sinkholes, and the colonists who settled the planet were forced to relocate their homes inside these sinkholes. The rest of the planet was carved by deep canyons. Rishi's crust has a few marketble metal ores which were mined by the native humans. The planet had an orbit of about 268 local days, each of which lasted 20 standard hours.
