Native Lifeforms
Githiaski's seas teem with life, but forms analogous to vertebrates have never appeared; rather the dominant phylum has developed a supportive inner "cage" of gristle-like material. The Githiaskio's ancestors may have resembled those Terran marine worms which bury themselves in the seabed, leaving only a bundle of tentacles exposed; their closer relatives were certainly squid-like in external form.
Native Sophont (NIL): Githiaskio
This world is notable as the homeworld of the Githiaskio, an aquatic Minor Race with a startling resemblance to Terran marine mollusks.
History & Background (Dossier)
A high population world in the Dartho Subsector of the Antares Sector.
- Githiaski is a member of the Imperium.
- The world is the homeworld to the Githiaskio, a minor race.
Githiaski (Anta 2406) is a mineral-poor world on the fringe of the Lesser Rift; the First lmperium seems to have paid little attention to the world, for the intelligent inhabitants were only recently discovered by a merchant ship during the Long Night. Their name for their planet can best be represented as Llaaaiihoin (with a heavy vibrato on the first syllable, and a high pitch on the last). As the world has few, small continents mostly consisting of salt marshes and swamps, regular contact with the Githiaskio came only with the rise of the Third Imperium. As scientific study focussed on the race, their curious evolutionary history came to light.
Imperial Landed Nobility (N)
Githiaski, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.
- It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
- It holds the estate of an Imperial baronet.
- It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
World Starport (Sp)
Githiaski has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
World Population (P)
No information yet available.
World Demographics
Humaniti, population 95%
- Other, population 5%
World Government (G)

The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.
