Reshumirak is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Remnants Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
  • It is the homeworld of the Domination, a sophont species and minor race.
  • During the Long Night this world was named Liimkhi Iir.

History & Background

This world was originally excavated by independent Vilani miners during the First Imperium. The settlement had to be abandoned as uneconomic after only a few years.

  • In -209, the warship Dragon's Breath from the Medurma Pact met a Domination starship coming out of jump. Contact was attempted, but without success.
  • It was a further three hundred years before successful communication between Humans and Domination was achieved. Apparently the Dominiation had adapted the jump drive and power plants from three damaged and abandoned Viliani starships from the colony. Reshumirak was the first contact between the Domination and the oxygen-breathers, though later other settlements were discovered scattered throughout space.
  • Reshumirak was resettled primarily by scholars wishing to study and document the Domination's culture. The Domination trades various bio-constructs in exchange for jump drives and other engineering constructs. Reshumirak has become, and continues to be, the primary embassy between the two cultures.
