567-908 has a scarcity of water, a relatively sparse atmosphere, and is a barren world with no registered population or government. It is a unclaimed Non-Aligned world in the District 268 Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector. This is the homeworld of the Shrieker, a Minor Race. The world was later designated Denuli (world).
Astrography & Planetology
567-908 is a member of the Spinward Main..
Skipped over in the First Survey and barely charted in the Second, Denuli remained a backwater just outside the borders of the Imperium. The planet is divided into two major landforms, a desert continent that stretches across half the planet, and a huge mountain range surrounding a single large ocean. While technically habitable, the planet's very thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and constant, unpredictable volcanism make Denuli unappealing for colonization. Until the discovery of its native sentient species, it was considered one of the most useless pieces of real estate in the Spinward Marches. It was only in late 1117 that the system name was changed in the Imperial survey database.
Native Sophont: Shriekers
The Shriekers are a nomadic race ruled by a class of priests who all follow the teaching of the Dtai-denuls and live in the last Shrieker city, The Great Retreat
History & Background (Dossier)
567-908 is a poor, barren world located on the Bowman Arm in District 268 of the Spinward Marches.
- In 420, Mtume Denuli accidentally finds gemstones (later Denuli Crystals) on 567-908.
- This is the homeworld of the intelligent race known as the Shriekers, and as a result the Scout Service is building a new base to study them, after the discovery by a Mora business man named Kafla Thinquellie in 1110.[2] The discovery of the crystals on 567-908 produces a rush to mine these new gemstones.
