History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Battle of Miha took place in 116, and was one of the bloodiest battles of the Vilani Pacification Campaign. A joint Lancian-S'mrii fleet was surprised during replenishment by a massive Vilani fleet in a battle that then raged around the system's gas giants and asteroid belt for the next 60 days. In the course of this, Miha itself was subjected to intense nuclear bombardment and the population of 300,000 was effectively wiped out. The Vilani success opened the way to the final Vilani thrust on Kukhun.

Imperial Landed Nobility[edit]

Miha, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Miha 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 Population (P)[edit]

Miha has a population of 10 sophonts (tens).

  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without significant outside assistance. This may represent a transient population such as the crew of a starship, the final survivors of a dying colony, an advance team setting up to receive colonists, or a small outpost where establishing a colony is not the primary objective.

World Government (G)[edit]

Miha is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Military[edit]

Most Lancians do not like the idea of permanent military forces, and even less the idea of serving in them. As a result, most standing forces, the Pulehov, are small and often composed of non-Lancians. In times of war, the combined Lancian community -- the peoples' army, the Silkku -- is the ultimate defense of this and other Lancian worlds.

Law[edit]

Lancian courts, called Ammeinha, are made up of 13 person "benches", a combined judiciary and jury, similar to Solomani Courts Martial. Each district's Ammeinha reflects the district demographics. The emphasis is very much on trial by one's peers.

  • Note that this world could not convene an Ammeinha, having too few people.
