Risians are extremely close to Humans in appearance, but do have a small mark on their forehead as well as a different internal biology, which rendered Human treatment at Risian hospitals difficult in the 2150s.
Raisa is in a binary system, and although it is naturally a swampland its extensive weather modification system gives the entire planet a tropical climate. Combined with the locals easygoing approach to life this has made Raisa a very popular holiday destination with many Federation citizens.
A popular Raisan symbol is the Horga'hn, a statuette which is the symbol of sexuality. To display a horga'hn is to indicate that you are seeking jamaharon, a mysterious procedure said to be very enjoyable. Care should be taken with this practice, as jamaharon has been known to be fatal to those with a weak heart. Curzon Dax died via jamaharon, although he did at least die with a smile on his face.
The "Festival of the Moon", or Lohlunat, was a very popular celebration among the Risian people, celebrated at the Suraya Bay.
