Vadhavul is an arid, marginal Class-M planet located in the Sagittarius Reach region. The planet's stellar cartography classifier is M-18138512 and is preliminary designated by the name Rachel. It is approximately 50 light years from the edge of the Galactic Barrier and the closest inhabited system to it is [[Delta Vega I]]. | Vadhavul is an arid, marginal Class-M planet located in the Sagittarius Reach region.

Vadhavul orbits a yellow | Vadhavul orbits a yellow star and possesses two small moons. It is the only planetary body in the system but there is a large asteroid field orbiting farther out. Several derelict vessels and a dangerous radiation minefield have been discovered in the vicinity of the asteroids including the USS Belle, a research vessel assigned to the Sagittarius Reach. | ||
Vadhavul's atmosphere is thin by comparison to Earth but still breathable by most species. The surface temperatures average in a range from 25°C to 50°C with most areas of the planet covered in desert terrain. Some vegetation including grasslands and a few forests cover approximately 5% of the planet. Rocky mountain ranges dot the surface and provide cave systems that support life. There are no substantial oceans on the planet as the water table is mostly subsurface. An animal species called the cowmel has been domesticated and is used as a pack animal for carrying supplies. It is similar to a cross between a Terran cow and camel. Its fatty milk can be consumed for nourishment. | Vadhavul's atmosphere is thin by comparison to Earth but still breathable by most species.
