Rasmussen Planet

Rasmussen Planet,

Old Union Colony (former United Earth Colony since the 22nd Century (OTT)

One of the oldest Extra solar colonies in the 104 Tauri system (51.8 LY from Terra)

the planet is a Type 1 E Gardenworld and once had a dangerous and diverse bio sphere. The planet was once a huge mining colony and is famous for the

begin of the Gene Clone Revolt and the place from where Moses II spread the revolt all the way to Earth.

A monument and a museum in the biggest city are all that are left of these events.

Only locals still remember these events and the museum is mostly forgotten.

Rasmussen is a developed Core world with a huge metro city : Rass-Metro.

The planet was named after Igor Rasmussen, the United Earth explorer first setting foot on the world and completing the first initial survey.

He fell vicimt to the then abundant Head Crap. An agressive four legged spider like bio form.

The Head Crap and the larger Head Crags are now virtually extinct and only a few creatures still exist at Venus Zoo ..

Rasmussen's monument  is still a well visited site, but mostly due to fact it is now surrounded by a Terra Style park.

The last census counted 16 Billion Union citizens (80% Homo Galactus, 20% other Union Species.)

Industry is diverse with a focus on financial institutions and service industries. The largest employer is the Union Citizen Bureau (it has its administrative headquater in Rass Metro and employs over 20,00,000 individuals.

Few know that RAvE has its main office here as well.
