Ragel

Ragel is a terrestrial planet in a binary star system on the edge of the.

Though it is a ragged and hostile wasteland, Ragel's strategic location in the Skyllian Verge has made it valuable enough for the Alliance to claim it.

Description
The surface of Ragel shows the scars of a tumultuous past but in its current state, it doesnt fair much better. Its surface is covered in large craters from disasterous meteor impacts and is eternally bathed in scorching sunlight from the two stars it orbits. The only water sources on the planet are toxic and scarce, where only the most adaptive bacterial lifeforms can thrive.

Additional Information
Ragel exists in a region of the Skyllian Verge that is in close proximity to several different mass relays, some of which lead directly into batarian-space. Because of this, the Systems Alliance claimed the planet and built a naval outpost in its orbit -- the Sentinel Platform Array. From here, the Alliance launched several anti-slaver campaigns across the Verge while secretly launching espionage missions through to batarian-space.

When the invaded the Milky Way, Ragel was a major staging ground for the Alliance forces in launching counterattacks against the Reaper hordes. For the majority of the cataclysm, Ragel and the Sentinel Array went largely undiscovered by hostile forces. Years following the attack, activity around Ragel greatly diminished as most of the naval forces stationed there were relocated to more important regions of Alliance territory.
