When originally settled by the Mining Guild as part of a wave of expansion in the Teraab Sector, Ruusan was a temperate, pleasant world, inhabited by Ruusanians, Humans, and a strange sentient species known as Bouncers. Warfare has devastated much of the surface, leaving scars of desert and barren wasteland.

Ruusan has three moons, referred to by locals as the "Three Sisters." Smugglers claim that at least one of the moons has ruins of an ancient civilization.
