Library Data:Geonee

Library Data Milieu 1116 

The Geonee are a minor Human race, famed for their claim to be the Ancients. While this claim is generally not accepted, they do have one of the oldest human interstellar cultures in charted space, behind only the Suerrat and Vilani and some of the highest technology. Their homeworld is Shiwonee (Massilia 1430).

The Geonee are a short, stocky, and very muscular race. Their average height is about 1.5 metre and their average weight is about 65 kilograms.

The Geonee were originally thought to be a Major Race, since they had jump drive when first encountered by the Vilani some 10,000 years ago (in fact, they had built their first jump drive several years before the Vilani completed theirs). However, it was later determined that their development of jump drive was based on a recovered Ancient starship, rather than independent research. This revelation has coloured interstellar opinion of Geonee achievement ever since, and they are generally not regarded as being of major status.
