The Iper'Mar of Lamberd (Fornast 0540) are an Imperial nomadic culture, consisting of Human sophonts.

Description (Specifications)

The Iper'Mar can be found on numerous low-tech worlds in Fornast, Ley, the Imperial Empty Quarter, and (more recently) the Spinward Marches. They are found running starports, life support, power, and communication systems on low-tech worlds; maintaining high-tech, high-profit schools on backwater worlds; advising low-tech elites on interstellar society and technology; and providing mid- and high-tech medical care to those individuals who can pay for it. Providing workable high-tech solutions to low-tech systems, the Iper'Mar are recognized as one of the binding forces of Coreward-Trailing Imperial interstellar society.

History & Background (Dossier)

The name Iper'Mar is originally derived from the term "Imperial Matrices", a term for the once-dominant merchant families of Lamberd system. Over time, the meaning has shifted to something like "refugees" or "exiles".

They are also known as "tech tyrants" in Ley Sector, due to their domineering attitude towards low-tech cultures. This term is gaining currency in the Quarter as well.

Cultural Sophontology

As a culture, they are mildly patriarchal -- high politics is reserved for males, though both men and women are found in most other professions. Attitude towards non-Humans can be harsh, but superficially polite and respectful for the sake of business and Imperial unity -- especially regarding Bwaps.
