 {{comment|''Attacking a Rahu should present you no great problems, though it is best done from the stern to avoid the turrets. Be well away from it as it explodes, because the Rahu's blast is no laughing matter, and at short range can shatter a lightly built fighter like a Serapis.''

			The '''SSG ''Rahu''''' class of gas miners is the [[Shivans\|Shivan]] equivalent of the [[GTG Zephyrus\|Terran ''Zephyrus'']] and [[GVG Anuket\|Vasudan ''Anuket'']] gas miners, discovered in the [[Nebula System\|nebula beyond Gamma Draconis]] shortly before the first appearance of an [[SJ Sathanas\|SJ ''Sathanas'']].
