Native Sophont: Sidurii

The Sidurii are bipeds with four toes (two being much larger and opposed) and with three fingers on each hand (no opposed digit). They have large eyes but have limited color vision. Their small noses are slits over a beak-like mouth. They have no appreciable ears (having a very fine membrane over most of the ear opening) although their hearing is good. Their skin shows the remnants of many small scales which have almost been lost during their evolution. Sidurii are relatively light, mainly as a result of having hollow bones. Their limb muscles are surprisingly strong, particularly their legs, which can give a hefty kick.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Sidurii gradually moved their population of over a billion into domed cities as the world lost atmosphere, where they now live comfortably. The diversity of local laws and customs causes some inefficiency and confusion, though. Sidurii are rather communal within their cities but often untrusting of outsiders -- though certainly prepared to deal with them.

Imperial High (Landed Nobility)

Sidur Ishki, 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 fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial subsector duke.

World Starport

Sidur Ishki 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 Government

Sidur Ishki is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

Major areas of Sidurii life are collectivized, including education and child care. Sidurii are socially mobile, with a Sidurii's position in society depending primarily on talent, charisma, and personal achievements. Sidurii travel frequently for work and pleasure, although they maintain lifelong ties to their home arcology.

World Culture

Almost all Sidurii have such busy and regimented lives that they accept visitors only at fixed times of the day, and adhere strictly to appointment lengths (even if halfway through signing a critical document, when the appointment end is signaled a Sidurii will leave the document unfinished and head for its next task). Great offense can be caused if one is late for a business or social engagement. In some cities, great chimes ring out every ten minutes, and the populace plan their day around these small time periods.
