Raptasson

‘’’Raptasson’’’ was the homeworld of the Ferricks. It was located in the and was a member planet of the Golden Empire.

Geography
Most of Raptasson’s surface was fertile and arable, with millions of square kilometers of grasslands and forests. High mountains ranges dominated most of the rest of the land, and mountains often supported a variety of ecosystems at increasing altitudes.

Large beaches were uncommon on Raptasson, due to the planet’s geological history; the vast majority of littoral regions saw oceans meet the land with high bluffs and cliffs. Inland lakes had smaller but more consistent beaches. Rivers crisscrossed Raptasson in far greater numbers than seen on most other worlds.

Society and culture
The native Ferricks preferred structures close to the ground, which led to sprawling cities. They also enjoyed swimming, and nearly all private homes had swimming pools; most cities provided public baths and pools for the poor.

Because Ferricks had a vegetarian diet, enormous tracts of land on Raptasson were dedicated to agriculture. Raptasson became an in the Golden Empire, producing both staple crops and some delicacies, including edible fungi.

History
Geologists theorized that all of Raptasson’s four continents had emerged from beneath the oceans due to underwater volcanic activity. The sudden and intense volcanic activity which gave birth to these landmasses explained the relative dearth of beaches at sea level.

Raptasson joined the Golden Empire peacefully some time between the Great Liberation and the Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy.
