A prison planet used by the Federation. The maximum security prison on Planet RX 338 was originally built generations ago, by an evil emperor named Suimar, to imprison all rebels against his despotic rule. Years later, after Suimar was overthrown, the Galactic Federation began using the world to imprison the most dangerous villains.

In Suimar's ancient times, prisoners were put to hard labor mining the world's rich mineral deposits. The old tunnels still exist, deep inside the planet. There are over 100 separate prison blocks, each designed to secure villians of every aptitude, from every world.

A chain of orbiting Hunter Killer Satellites and Space Mines prevent anyone from getting on or off. the hunter killers are specificaly designed to be able to not only deture, stop, but also easily kill even the most tenacious of bounty hunters, who more often than not, have superior gear to the Galactic Federation. The asteroid field around RX 338 is infested with deadly Spacesharks. These creatures feed on anything, from starship hulls to living flesh.
