History & Background / Dossier

Zukchurukh has a majority S'mrii population, first settled around -11,300 with sublight Ramships.

• The name is S’mrii for ‘navigational error’ as the initial scoutship believed initially that they had in some way come full circle and arrived back at Mimu, so alike did Zukchurukh initially appear to the home world.
• The illusion was shattered when it was realised that Zukchurukh was a tidally-locked world. It was still a prime S’mrii site. The Twilight band is much cooler at 185° Kelvin and the S’mrii have to live more towards the centre of the brightside.
