Shimerdon is a preindustrial, moderate population water world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a subject world of the Korsumug Empire located in the Anguilla Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.

• 100% of the worlds population are comprised of Jaibok.
