Legend

this world was chosen as an Imperial penal colony for two reasons. First, it was under the control of an orbital nightcloak, which was used to keep the prison camps cold and prohibiting escape. Second, the native Viska are a ruthless race that was not affected by the nightcloak. Rordak was the only world in the Rordak System, and has a day which lasts 14 standard hours. Its year lasts 201 local days. The planet was once the outermost of four worlds surrounding the star known as Rordak, until the star expanded to become a red giant. The inner three planets were destroyed, and much of Rordak's surface was scoured with heat and radiation. Over the millennia, life returned to Rordak, and the Viska soon evolved. The surface of the planet was covered with volcanoes which constantly reshaped the planet.
