Vasuda Prime

Vasuda Prime is the fourth planet in the Vasuda system, and was the desert homeworld of the Vasudans. The planet is said to have been the only habitable planet in the Vasuda system. The climate of Vasuda Prime was incredibly hostile, with both twin continents being covered primarily in desert. What little surface water that was available was undrinkable, even by Vasudan standards. In order to adapt to these hostile conditions, the Vasudans developed at a rapid pace.

The Apsu-Hek was a creature that once inhabited Vasuda, but is now believed to be extinct.

It is stated that early Vasudan space exploration was motivated by the need to find planets more hospitable than their homeworld, and to recover resources as Vasuda Prime's have been depleted.

According to Vasudan legend, an ancient race visited Vasuda Prime at the time Vasudan civilization was in its infancy, and this mysterious race helped the Vasudans develop into a technologically advanced species, leading to the formation of the Parliamentary Republic of Vasuda. It is also possible that ancient Vasudan legends concerning the coming of "the Destroyers" (the Shivans) stemmed from this contact.
