The Gniivi of Ar-gniiv (Leonidae 0320) and Pru-mavin (Hinterworlds 2924) are a large, long-lived race, with a slow and deliberate manner.

Description (Specifications)

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.

Linguistics

All Gniivi systems are given a prefix of Pru-, Ghi-, or Ar-.

• "Ar-" designates a system with a military/naval presence.
• "Ghi-" designates a system with some manner of restricted access (e.g. Ghi-radul and Ghi-nabrin'l are preserves, Ghi-koord'l is Amber Zone equivalent, etc.)

Worlds with Gniivi names outside of the Gniivi Collective include Dreead'n and Gruuvurr.

Astrography

This race is primarily located in the following areas:

• Hinterworlds Sector
  • Menere's Reach Subsector
  • Sontra Subsector
• Leonidae Sector
  • Valc Subsector
  • Zej Subsector

Homeworld

The homeworlds of this race are:

• Ar-stoon'l (Hinterworlds 2721): Political capital
• Ar‐gniiv (Leonidae 0320): Original, evolutionary home world
• Pru-mavin (Hinterworlds 2924): Often referenced as their adoptive home world

Pru-mavin is kept deliberately at TL–2, and here select Gniivi live content lives as their distant ancestors might have done, leaving star travel and high technology to other factions of the Collective.
