Shugosha VIII

Shugosha VIII is the eighth planet in the Shugosha System; it is part of the Yamatai Star Empire.

Shugosha VIII was discovered and explored by the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet in YE 29. A Mars-sized planet, Shugosha VIII's frozen landscape is dominated by dramatic mountain ranges of iron and silicate thrusting to dizzying pinnacles from a surface completely covered by an ocean of saline ice. Shugosha VIII has a sparse but nontoxic nitrogen-oxygen-carbon dioxide atmosphere. It is breathable without assistance (although very cold and dry), but is too thin for unassisted heavy activity, similar to very high altitudes on a habitable planet.

Although there are plenty of ferrous and silicate minerals, as well as frozen saltwater on Shugosha VIII, the low temperatures and remote orbit of the planet meant that it had never been developed for resource extraction. Here and there, wrecks from the Second Mishhuvurthyar War dot the landscape, but not in great numbers.

The Star Army of Yamatai established a "Guriddo" Defense System as part of the Shugosha System Defense Plan laid out by Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko in YE 42. The system includes:

• 20 Ke-H5-W3200 "Kyouheki" Defense Platforms each typically controls two Ke-H5-M3200 "Nesuto" Docking Platforms, but can handle more.
  • 10 Ke-H5-M3200 "Nesuto" Docking Platforms each with 18 Ke-H5-W3201 "Suzumebachi" Attack Drones
    • 180 Ke-H5-W3201 "Suzumebachi" Attack Drones

Shugosha VIII has no communications network.
