Planet:New Oushagu

Introduction
"New Oushagu is a world of deserts and life there is a struggle to survive. The planet is targeted by several major mining conglomerates. It so named after the exploitation and complete depletion of resources on the world known as 'Old Oshagu'."

Welcome to the Imperial Codex! The following entry will detail data on: New Oushagu, a fiercely contested desert world.

Terrain
New Oushagu is covered by mostly by deserts and sand dunes, with rocky canyons, crags and cliffs strewn in between. The deserts of New Oushagu are a harsh and unforgiving place, comparable to an open sea, where survival is minimal. There is very little places of shade or water and the dunes stretch out for hundreds of miles in every direction. The canyons and cliffs are no better, as they are home to venomous or carnivorous lifeforms.

Similarly, exposure to the desert sun can cause dehydration and death without previous precautions. Wind is also a threat, with winds going up to speeds as 180mph on a regular basis. Sandstorms are perhaps the most dangerous threat of all; the wind speeds rise drastically and the grains of sand being whipped up can shred flesh from bones or smother any lingering organisms.

Climate
As expected, New Oushagu's climate is extremely hot and brutal. The temperature during the day can peak up to 200°F but usually stays at a constant 157°F. Once the sun sets, however, that temperature rapidly falls and turns quite frigid. The temperature can drop as low as 40°F during the night.

Capital
New Oushagu lacks a definite capital, as it's native sentients do not possess a city-living culture. Rather, off-world prospectors and miners have built up a serviceable outpost to function as the planet's primary landing port and "capital."

By city standards, the outpost, simply called Oushagen, is fairly small. It houses few housing units, few trade houses where travelers may stock up on or trade in supplies. There are a few restaurants and bars to entertain the small population living there, as well as a hunting lodge for off-worlders seeking the thrill of hunting New Oushagu's dangerous native lifeforms. Many hunters make a fair enough living. Also, there are no private bathrooms or washrooms in Oushagen, as water is a scarce commodity. A public restroom is located within the city outpost, able to service up to twenty people at a time.
