Giinurmuu is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Commonwealth of Mendan in the Kupid Subsector of Mendan Sector.
• The Commonwealth of Mendan is part of the Julian Protectorate located in the Vargr Extents.

• This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• Around 70% of the population is composed of Vargr.
• Nearly 30% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.

Description / Astrography & Planetology

Giinurmuu is a star system that would be unsettled were it not for the substantial mineral resources found in the satellites of its three gas giants.
