History and background

For a "desolate ball of dust" Mimku does very well for itself in what might seem an unusual way – the leisure industry. Zero-gee survivalists travel from far and wide to sample the "Mimku Experience", which usually involves spending several weeks living in pressurized cabins and vacc suits.

The Amec Qualimala has picked up on this activity and regularly sends members for zero-gee environment training. This has cause some friction with the happy, elitist holiday makers who resent the Qualimala members from jumping their bandwagon. Although there have been no injuries, there have been many accidents involving government equipment. The very low law level has hampered the Qualimala attempts as retaliation through official channels.
