567-908 (Spinward Marches 1031), home to native sophonts, the so-called Shriekers, intelligent octopods about 1 m at the shoulder. They talk at the high end of human hearing, hence their name. Achieved TL3 before a planetary tectonic disaster shook them back down to TL0.

In 420, Mtume Denuli accidentally finds gemstones (later Denuli Crystals) on 567-908. The origin world of these gemstones remains unknown to anyone else until 1110.

The discovery of the crystals on 567-908 produces a rush to mine these new gemstones. The IISS renames the system and places Scout security elements around it.

Also named "Shvreeyiyi" TNE or "Denuli" GURPS.
