No information yet available.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Gniivi control a twenty-three world pocket empire on the border of the Hinterworlds and Leonidae sectors.

Government & Politics

Gniivi Collective (Confederation). Gniivi prefer government with strong popular support. This is often a democratic system, but could also be mass support for a particular leader or organisation.

The Gniivi are active in the interstellar community and exchange ambassadors with other nations.

In 1119, the government of Benankas accused Gniivi interests of involvement in piracy. The Gniivi government denied this, and offered its support to the Benankeen in identifying the true suspects.
