Ikiik is a low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • It is a member of the Cytrialin Unity in the Nejim Subsector of Leonidae Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Ikiik is one of the eight systems significant to the Books of Cytrialin. As one of the Eight Pillars, Ikiik is associated with the Book of the Void. This association is likely due to the status of the Ikkik "mainworld" as a shattered ring of debris.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Ikiik has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

100. As one of the Eight Pillars of Cytrial, the world is kept undeveloped; it is essentially a monastery/spiritual retreat.

World Demographics[edit]

100% of the population are Lamura, consisting of the human Lamura Teg and the non-human Lamura Gav.

World Languages[edit]

The Cytrialin language is a derived form of an old Vilani dialect.

World Culture[edit]

The guiding philosophy of the Lamura people is a lengthy work called the Cytrialin. The Cytrialin is both a rough and biased history of the Lamura peoples as well as a complex system of ethics and morality, alongside a compilation of practical advice for life. Because so many of the Lamura are noted for reading or quoting the Cytrialin when in distress or seeking answers to a difficult problem, they have gained a reputation for being fanatics and impractical mystics, though the text is noted for genuinely effective systems for practical problem solving.
