[[File:Chart Regency of Muirimi Basic 2.png|400 px]] <br> (Chart sourced from Traveller Map).

=== Demographics: 1105 ===
[[Humaniti]] (Human Races)
* [[Solomani]]
** '''Muirimi''' <br> Muirimi refers to any individual originating from the long-settled but isolated [[human]]-dominated region lying along the edge of the [[Great Rift]] in [[Theron Sector|Theron]] and [[Iphigenaia Sector]]s. They are descended from [[Solomani]] colonists originating from the central Asian and Indian subcontinent regions of [[Terra]].

Small communities of [[Ykoro]] reside within the Regency.
* They number less than a million.

=== Government & Politics: 1105 ===
The Regency of Muirimi is a [[Federation]] characterized by a low degree of governmental centralization and a weak bureaucracy that gives a high degree of sovereignty (freedom) to local (planetary) governments and sometimes suffers from a poor ability to create unified policy. The Regency of Muirimi government is usually classified as an [[Association]], a type of [[Federation]].
* It formed as a response to the increasing numbers of belligerent, land-hungry [[Aslan]] crossing into the region.
* By working together, each of its member states and worlds were better able to meet the challenges presented by the [[Aslan]].
* The [[Polity|former states]] that comprise the Regency retain strong individual cultural identities.

=== Decline: 1105 ===
The regency is not a strong force, lacking both starships and manufacturing ability. It is likely to be overwhelmed by the endless waves of [[Ihatei]] within the coming decades.

=== Military & Intelligence ===
The Regency fields a number of [[ScoutRon|Reconnaisance squadrons]], each made up of ten {{TL|13}} 100 ton Jump-4 scouts.

Each naval station has its own defense squadron. Each squadron fields two large vessels as the core of its force:
* {{TL|11}} 20,000 ton [[Karna class Fleet Tender]]
* {{TL|11}} 10,000 ton [[Xarbo class Battle Rider]]

Ground forces of the regency include:
* [[Elite Light Grav Troop]] companies with {{TL|11}} equipment.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
The rimward regions of [[Iphigenaia Sector]] were settled by the Muirimi, a [[Solomani]] cultural group largely originating from the Central Asian and Indian subcontinent regions of [[Terra]] in the last decades of the [[Long Night]]. The Muirimi territories are among the more remote human communities in [[Charted Space]], abutting against the vast uninhabited expanses of the Hinters. 

=== The Muirimi Culture: 1105 ===
The Muirimi culture is closely related to [[Sitaraism]], a form of [[Church of the Stellar Divinity|star-worship]] that began on [[Terra]] during the [[Rule of Man]].
* Muirimi is an evolution of the Urdu word "Mujrim", meaning "guilty", or "criminal".
* The name was originally a derogatory term, seemingly originating from the Muirimi [[Sitaraism]] belief that worlds (and their resources) were the property of the faithful alone, and as such could be taken from non-believers at will. Early followers of Sitaraism were categorized as criminals.
* Early members of the culture were persecuted for their faith but they survived, and the name is now a badge of pride.
* Muirimi has become a broad cultural term, referring to any individual originating from the long-settled but isolated [[human]]-dominated region lying along the edge of the [[Great Rift]] in [[Theron Sector|Theron]] and [[Iphigenaia Sector]]s.

Until the [[Aslan]] colonised [[Touchstone Sector]] in the 1060s, the nearest neighbor to Muirimi region was the [[Nakris Confederation]] in [[Beyond Sector]].
* The remoteness of the Muirimi states is tied to their complex history of religious persecution. The Muirimi have a reputation for isolationism.

==== Linguistic Topography ====
Naiurdu, a language descended from the Urdu language of [[Terra]], is the official language of the Regency.
* [[Native Language]]s are as widespread as Naiurdu.
* [[Riftian|Riftian Anglic]] is also widely spoken.

=== Enlightenment ===
Enlightenment – and the unlocking of strange powers – play a central part in Muirimi [[Sitaraism]] belief.
* This takes years of dedicated training and requires a true spiritual awakening.
* It has been suggested that this is a form of [[Psionics|psionic training]].
* A few hardy souls from other parts of [[Charted Space]] make the long trek to what they term "Far Tibet", seeking "personal enlightenment".
* The Muirimi are generally xenophobic and few outsiders are accepted.

[[Aslan]] scouts and pioneers began moving through the region in increasing numbers from the [[1000s|1000s onwards]].
