History & Background / Dossier[edit]
Rurur is known for the Battle of Rurur in 93. During early attempts to pursuade the Luriani to join the Imperium, Archduke Ishagri of Gateway Domain attempted a show of force, deliberately flaunting Luriani sovereignty. Ishagri was aware that the Luriani Protectorate fleet had scheduled manoeuvres at Rurur. He hoped to capitalise on its expected dispersal at their conclusion three days before his arrival on 014-93. However, the Luriani commander, Kamees Sherin Admiral, had extended the exercises. Sherin interpreted the arrival of Ishagri's fleet as an invasion, and engaged without making effort to ascertain Ishagari's intentions.
The Battle of Rurur was one of the Imperial Navy's worst defeats.

World Demographics[edit]
Of the 3 billion inhabitants, 90% are Luriani.
A significant minority of the cultural Luriani population are biological Solomani or Vilani. The Solomani, known as Veresti Dtareen (Terran Defenders) descend from Terran soldiers and administrators of the Rule of Man stranded during the Long Night, while the Vilani are known as Mmarislusant (Victims of History), and descend from stranded Vilani colonists. Both groups have absorbed much of Luriani culture and are seen both by themselves and the natives as being genuine Luriani.
Languages[edit]
Aaca is short-form for Aaeebuany't' limmisdasca.
Verasti Dtareen speak a variant of Anglic known as Luriani Anglic or "Lurglic", while the Mmarislusant retain their language of Old High Vilani. The Luriani Cultural Association expends considerable effort to ensure that all three languages remain in use.
