Iiu has an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids. The system supports a population in the hundreds of millions. This world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Mimu Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Lancian Cultural Region and the Domain of Vland. Iiu, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight and the fiefdom of a viscount. Both are members of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world. This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling Scout Service starships and personnel. During the Long Night this world was named Agam.
Astrography and planetology[edit]
Iiu is located on the Vilani Main.
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.

History and background[edit]
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.
World Starport[edit]
Iiu 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[edit]
Iiu possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
- Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
- Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-1.
World Government[edit]
Iiu is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.
Demographics[edit]
Of the 300,000,000 inhabitants, 60% are S'mrii, 10% their attendant Kiakh'iee.
- Iiu S'mrii have begun to genetically divert from the norm, with many possessing black scales and unique silver or bronze-coloured patterning. Many S'mrii find the Iiu patterning exotic and exciting.
World Culture[edit]
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.
