Intai'sei

Intai'sei is a planet located in the Phoenix cluster in the Argos Rho system. With an atmosphere similar to Earth's it was made an early candidate for human colonization. However high temperatures and an arid climate have made terraforming and agriculture difficult to maintain. There are a handful of human cities on the planet, but they are spread far from each other across the desert surface. The colonists main source of jobs and income are wind farms and geological research stations. The planet was first colonized in 2166 and has a population of 150,000. The capital city is Thoreau Mesa.

The planet has an orbital period of 47.8 Earth Years and a day length of 27.6 Earth hours. The planets radius is 5897 km with atmospheric pressure of 0.95 Earth atmospheres, a surface temperature of 46 Celsius and a gravity of 0.8 G on the surface.

Intai'sei is discovered after Commander Shepard completes all missions aboard Pinnacle Station. Shepard earns access to a private apartment on the surface with amenities such as a radio, grenade station and a Medi-gel station. It is locatable on the Galaxy Map as "Shepard's Apartment".
