Geographical features include:

  • Kiamuskeekik Basin: Fertile plains
  • Rmuree'm Mountains

Native Sophont (NIL): S'mrii

It is the Homeworld of the S'mrii, an influential minor race.

History and Background

World Starport

Mimu has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level

Mimu possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government

Mimu is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will have better rules of succession and may last longer or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.

World Culture

S'mrii society is highly stratified and formed from large socioeconomic groups known as phyla. Each phylum has an overall rank in S'mrii society, which is widely described as pyramidal. Phyla vary widely in size, having anywhere between 6,000 and 15 million members.

  • The basic social unit within a phylum is the Ka'usui (or "family") consisting of a pair of S'mrii, their children, and attendant Kiakh'iee. Three or four ka'usui make up an Sk*khua ("circle") which is often equated to the Human extended family.
  • Loyalty to the phylum governing council is heavily emphasized as part of a S'mrii education.

World Demographics

The Human presence on Mimu is primarily limited to the Human-owned port of Zandervoort (known as ‘Snakepit’ to the locals), a wild and lawless city-state in the highlands, where the atmosphere is thinner, and the temperature sufficiently low for Humans to be comfortable.

  • S'mrii: More than 70%
  • Kiakh'iee: Less than 10%
  • Vilani: Less than 10%
  • Other Humaniti: Less than 10%

Urbanization

Thirty-six billion S'mrii live in huge metroplexes on the forested margins of the world’s deeply-eroded ocean basins.

Cities include:

  • Triskskiss, population 7 billion
  • Chussria', 5.3 billion
  • Isstrakh, 4.9 billion
  • Kiarik, 4.2 billion
  • Zandervoort "Snakepit", 40 million, (Human enclave)

There are also the Canyon Cities, such as Mua and Ska'i; seemingly haphazard constructions retaining much of the character of S'mrii pre-sentient avian roosts.

Historical Data

Although Mimu was the site of a devastating nuclear war in -25,790 which almost annihilated the S'mrii, the world has long since been terraformed to its original verdant state.

World Timeline

  • (-25,790): Global thermonuclear war causes an apocalyptic event and the world's biosphere is devastated for thousands of years.
  • -1570: The S'mrii ConSentiency or Reeskia'mrassa is founded as a trade alliance by the S'mrii.
