Overview

Pasaana is an arid desert planet in the Expansion Region, a world of sun-bleached dunes, towering sandstone buttes and shadowed valleys where water collects[1][2]. The galaxy map places it in the Ombakond sector, in grid square O-13[2].

Most of the time the Aki-Aki, the people of Pasaana, live simply. During their festival season, though, food and water are plentiful, and they welcome crowds of visitors from other worlds into the valleys[1].
