Native Lifeform: Ratha

When initially discovered the S'mrii thought they’d discovered an intelligent albeit primitive race in the aquatic Cat-like Ratha.

The Ratha resembled in outward appearance, massive terran panthers except they had fins instead of feet and four tentacle- like appendages that sprout from their front shoulders. These, they used to manipulate primitive stone tools and appeared to have a comprehensive language. For almost five hundred years the planet was left uncolonized though under close observation but the Ratha never showed any signs of evolving.

By this time the S’mrii had made contact with the Vilani, and through them several other minor races, and had began to realize that what they’d discovered was an intelligent animal rather than a primitive sentient race. Eventually the S’mrii agreed to open the planet for colonization though only in the colder polar seas that are not inhabited by the Ratha.

Point of Interest: Mysterious Stone Wall

In 105 a scientist discovered what appeared to be the remnants of a giant stone wall which ran for 20 kilometers before stopping suddenly in the shallow seas of Chukhzui. Extensive excavations in the area and landsat scans have revealed no other signs of civilization on the planet and it is still unclear whether this is some sort of natural phenomenon, something left by a visiting race or the last remnant of a once mighty Rathas civilization. There are still some who believe the Rathas may be the devolved remnant of a once sentient race but this view is not supported by the majority of sophontologists.

History & Background

During the Long Night this world was named Mibu.
