For a long time, Rahet was languishing with a moribund render and no api server. But I recently got both up and running again such that it&#8217;s just as easy to edit and update the Rahet map as it is for those other planets.

It&#8217;s meant to be the setting for a sci-fi novel that I occasionally work on, started some 30 years ago.
