Gasha: This cold, desert
planet is the location of the Yamashi Research Institute. The Institute
colonized Gasha in 453 to study the Ilraiki race and its evolutionary adaptation
to this planet as it grew colder. Gasha's climatic change was caused by
an increase in its orbital diameter due to the near passage of another
star.
Astronomical calculations place the star RS-6732C-5f only
one-half of a light-year from Gasha's primary approximately 150,000 years
ago. This close passage disturbed the course of both suns and their attendant
planets to such an extent that the systems
are proving a valuable laboratory in the study of adaptive evolution.
