Mainworld Data[edit]

Miku is a pleasant agricultural world with a temperate climate and a flourishing ecosystem.

History and Background[edit]

Miku has grown in importance since the 900s, when it was declared an open world. Prior to that it had been maintained as a red zone in order to 'preserve it for future exploitation': Miku was used as an exclusive hunting resort by Imperial nobles. Today the population is close to half a million, and Mikuian agroproducts make up the bulk of the foodstuffs eaten on Ziamr. There is an expanding tourist industry as wealthy citizens travel to the world to enjoy the healthy climate and engage in some hunting themselves.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Miku has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are among the most commonly used here:

  • Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
    • Galaach: An Ushran trade language derived from Anglic, widely spoken throughout the Shallows, Zeda and Ushra subsectors.
  • Klatha'sh: The common language of the Ziadd.
  • Sall: The predominate language of Bolivar (Dagudashaag 0240), also spoken as a common second language in surrounding subsectors, including Shallows.
  • Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.

World Government (G)[edit]

Miku 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.
