Mirayn is an agricultural world.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- This die back world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left, leaving behind the ruins and remnants of their civilization.
- This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Jungleblut Subsector of Far Frontiers Sector.

Mainworld Geography & Topography
Two continents, Grenven and Momande. Swathed in low-lying cloud cover and a nearly perpetual mist, the tropical regions of Mirayn have proven virtually impossible to map even through orbital survey procedures. While sophisticated scanning techniques have established the broad outlines of lakes and rivers, detailed survey of this world can only be carried out from the ground. The planet is sometimes referred to as "the archaeologist's paradise", as a result of the wide variety of ruins left by a flourishing Tech-3 culture some 5,000 years before.

Native Sophont (NIL): Gog
Mirayn's natives -- known to the offworlders as "Gogs" -- are of minor concern, and are commonly seen only in the Outback or the settlements along Momande's coast.
History & Background (Dossier)
Planet in the Jungleblut subsector of the Far Frontiers sector.
Social Data
Society: The human colony continues to support a limited amount of agriculture and some industry; most of the planetary revenue is based, however, on the various offshoots of the tourist trade. The government of Mirayn, a council of ruling landowners, is active in the promotion of tourism and takes an interest in the world's antiquities. Though they lack the manpower to themselves hunt for possible archaeological finds, the government does pay for artifacts from the Outback or the locations of major sites. Unfortunately, scales of payment are rather low, which has encouraged attempts at smuggling artifacts offworld where they command high prices among interested collectors. To combat this, the ruling council has imposed a number of strict laws against removal of antiquities from the planet. Mirayn's small standing army is employed almost exclusively in the enforcement of these laws.
Historical Data
History: First surveyed by Frontiers Developments, Inc., and then colonized by settlers from Selaek some 375 years ago, Mirayn was first intended as an agricultural colony. Conditions on the world hampered the growth of large-scale farming, however, leaving the planet trapped with a subsistence level economy. The lack of worthwhile raw materials prevented the formation of widespread industries as well, further hindering colonial progress.
- Scientific interest, followed by considerable attention from offworld tourists, was sparked by the discovery of extensive ruins left by a native civilization in the coastal regions of Grenven, the first human settled continent on the planet. An even richer field of archaeological endeavor was opened when humans penetrated Momande, the larger, but also less known continent. Small settlements, the largest a city named Val Preszar, were established along the coast of Momande and began to cater to the needs of parties investigating what became known as "The Outback".
- Investigation of various ruins has led scientists to venture the opinion that a native culture of about Tech Level 3 flourished on both continents. The collapse of the civilization left a few scattered aboriginal savages. As these findings were published scientific interest in Mirayn faded, though tourism continued to be a fairly steady source of revenue for the government. Amateur archaeologists still made occasional visits to the planet, but by and large it dropped into obscurity.
345-1107
Recent History: This state of affairs was shattered two years ago, when Professor Jothan Messandi published his famous book "Hoard of the Sky Raiders". The theories presented in that book brought treasure hunters to Mirayn in great numbers; fortune seeker continue to throng there today.
148-1108
Mirayn enjoyed a brief vogue at the time when Professor Jothan Messandi's book "Hoard of the Sky Raiders" promoted Mirayn as the location of the looted treasure of the Sky Raiders (q.v.). Though recent discoveries have disproved the theory, the planet still remains a favorite among amateur archaeologists and treasure hunters of all kinds.
World Starport
TBD has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
World Technology Level
TBD possesses a Technology Level of TL–0.
- These worlds often contain a Proto-Sophont species beginning to establish a nascent civilization and society.
- This world is in its Alpha Period and has not yet been interfered with by a higher technology civilization.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Bodily communicative apparati, courier-runners, and smoke signals.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Bodily muscle.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Bodily locomotion, riding beasts, and litters or sedan chairs.
- Water: Swimming, rafts, and canoes.
- Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability.
World Government
TBD has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
