Background The majority of Risa is tropical rain forest, but an elaborate network of wether modification systems and seismec regulators control conditions on the planet.  Risa is the most noted for open sexuality of it's inhabitants.  Risa's lax morality was challenged in 2373 by a fringe Federation polital activist group called the Essentialists, who used ecological terrorism against the planet until they were arrested by Starfleet security forces.
Editors Notes Pleasure planet & vacation resort.  The Risian fertility symbol, the Horga'hn is a small statuette.  To display it would announce an invitation for sexual relations.
