fasa

Fasa is a city in Fars Province, Iran. It is the capital of Fasa County and serves as a local administrative and economic center for the surrounding rural district. The city's economy is primarily based on agriculture, trade, and services that support the surrounding villages. The region experiences a hot, semi-arid climate, with hot summers and mild winters, and its rainfall is relatively scarce.

Fasa is also the name of a former American game company. FASA Corporation, commonly referred to as FASA, was founded in 1980 by Jordan Weisman and L. Ross and became known for publishing tabletop games and role-playing games. Its best-known products include BattleTech and MechWarrior, which feature mecha combat, as well as Shadowrun, a cyberpunk fantasy RPG. The company also published Star Trek: The Role Playing Game in the 1980s. After years of financial difficulties, FASA ceased operations in 2001, and its intellectual property and assets were acquired by WizKids, a toy and game company.
