Imperials rarely visit this world except to purchase its famous high tech weaponry, especially neurotoxins. Its high population and scarce resources have led to the custom of ritual killing of the elderly. Before a person can have children, his own parents must be dead, and if they are not dead when a child is born, they are expected to be killed shortly after the new birth. Culturally, Gemidians adapt to this custom in various ways. It is common for married couples to wait until they are in their forties or fifties before starting a family (this is possible thanks to Gemid's high medical technology). Children of important figures in society may hold off having children of their own until the parent has died a natural death.
