The fourth planet in the Rihlah System, called Shorvu (“sure-vu”) was terraformed by the Xi'An Empire as a barracks world, dotted with facilities to train and house military ground forces as well as mid-range weapons factories capable of equipping them. With the drawdown of the last century, the military factories of Shorvu have been methodically dismantled and replaced with corporate industrial zones (the very sight of which is a fascinating process, as massive Xi'An-driven mechanical ants strip structures and other objects back into their component materials).
