Rhakuz was donated to the Imperial Kazleti as a "gift" for their fealty. The planet is cold and harsh, with dramatic seasonal changes. The two moons give rise to relatively bright nights, high tides and significant volcanic activity. The high oxygen content of the atmosphere makes fire a major hazard, and the Imperial Kazleti lead the way on fire retardant materials and safety systems, many of which have been incorporated into the ships of the Klingon Defence Force.
