Iiu is a moderate population fluid world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

Description

The primary of the Iiu system is a tiny red main sequence star barely luminous enough to light or heat the world. Although Iiu’s atmosphere is rated as Exotic it resembles Terra’s: the main constituents are nitrogen and oxygen but it retains high levels of carbon dioxide, creating an extreme greenhouse effect. This raises the temperatures on the surface to levels that Humans can endure and S'mrii find comfortable. The presence of gases such as carbon monoxide and sulphur compounds serve to make the air un-breathable without artificial aid.

Iiu was settled by S'mrii using sublight ships long before the First Imperium and even today the bulk of the population are S’mrii. The small colony survived the Long Night and was even able to maintain some contact with other worlds. The remains of the original S’mrii cities make Iiu a popular spot for those who enjoy amateur archaeology, although all digs are closely monitored by the rather repressive government.
