Strategic Location: Toward the outward edge of the
Yaeger Sphere of Influence.
Temperature: 115% Standard, with normal polar and
equatorial variation.
Atmosphere: Thick, with higher than normal
concentrations of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Hydrosphere: 78% of Iimprin's surface is covered in
water, 92% of which has a salinity between 4% and 6%.
Gravity: 109% Standard.
Terrain: The primary continent of Iimprin has three
distinct topographical zones, (lowland forests, mountains, and the
southern desert) the sea islands compose another zone, and the two
polar continents a third.
Mineral Resources: The primary continent of Iimprin has
some small reserves of corundum gemstones and native copper, but
the planet's primary mineral reserves are located on the polar
continents, which have substantial reserves of native gold, silver,
iron, Tharium, and crystal astraim.
Length of Day: 33.2 Standard Hours.
Length of Year: 280 Local Days.
Sapient Species: The Nimirr
are Iimprin's only native sentient race.
Capital City: The Nimirr are not an urban race, and
Iimprin does not have any cities.
Other Cities: None.
Starport: There are several landing strip class ports
on the primary continent, and one of the sea islands has been
covered with a planetary class port.
Population (within +/- 1%): 890,430 Nimirr.
Government: Nimirr are not social beings for most of
the year, and as such they have no organized government. Their
brief social periods are centered on mating, and are therefore
similarly unregulated.
System: Tytrian.
Star: Tytrir, Tytrir-B, Tytrir-C.

System Capsule:
Tylrrain: This small red planet is in a very tight orbit
around Tytrir itself. Because it is so close to the primary star,
it's orbit is not disturbed by the other stars of the system, but
because it is so close to the primary star of the system, it's heat
renders it uninhabitable.
Iimprin: While it's orbit is rendered somewhat irregular due
to the gravitational forces of the other stars, Iimprin's orbit is
centered around Tytrir, and is relatively stable.
Sebiros: This world's orbit describes a figure eight,
centered around Tytrir and Tytrir-C, although once every five years
the two stars are not close enough for the change to take place,
and it spends that year around only one star.
Majirus: This planet is so far away from the system's center
that it orbits all three stars without irregularities in it's
orbit. Majirus is near stellar in mass, and one of it's moons is
life bearing, despite it's frigid temperature.
Planetary Capsule:
Flora and fauna: The largest of the planet's
topographical zones, the lowland forests, is a tropical rainforest
containing a phenomenaly wide variety of lifeforms. Broad leaved
succulents, such as the weibrom giant teaw, the iron trunk oak, and
the silver broom tree predominate, with many varieties of creeper
vines and orchids of various types, including the fast moving kijrr
vine, and the flying blue royal orchid. The fauna of the lowland
forest is equally varied. Hundreds of species of ungulates and
other herbivores live in every level of the forest, from the
brightly colored winged deer to the gigantic ground lemur. These
are preyed on by an equally wide variety of predators, such as the
fang tiger, the giant land crab, and the broad backed tree
crocodile.
While the life of the Southern desert is less impressive, it
is little less varied. The root nets of the desert fig bind
hundred of acres of the desert together, as do the taproots of the
silvercone, and the sensory tendrils of the deadly sundew. Albino
ghost serpents, rock eagles, army moles and others survive off
these, other plants, and each other. After the occasional flash
floods, desert eels awaken from their long sleep, preying off the
newly hatched fire frogs and silt shrimp.
The Mountain region has less of a wide variety of life, though
there are several species hardy enough to survive at it's
remarkably high altitudes. The peryton, and the grand eagle nest
in it's heights, flying down to the forest region in search of
prey. The mountain winged deer thrives off the lichens of the high
altitudes, as does the giant springtail, a creature identified as
a possible ancestor of the Nimirr.
The Sea Islands are inhabited by a relatively small variety of
species, though each island often has a number of totally unique
native species, usually variations on mainland creatures, both
modern and extinct. The Polar Continents are completely barren,
and void of all life.
Sentient Species: The insectile Nimirr are the planet's
only sentient species.
History: Despite the amount of time that has passed
since the Nimirr achieved sentience they continue to live in a very
primitive societal structure. Their history is therefore
relatively uneventful, at least when seen from human eyes. During
the Yrotha expansion, they moved onto Iimprin, and hunted the
Nimirr for sport. The Yaeger landed a number of ground troops on
the planet, who then struck out against the Yrotha. Many of the
squads came in contact with Nimirr, who do not find human presence
a violation of their territorial instincts, and were more than
willing to help against the Yrotha.
Close friendships were formed, and the combat effectiveness of
the Nimirr encouraged the Yaeger to continue contact with Iimprin.
This contact proved beneficial to both parties, as the Yaeger fleet
has protected the planet from any number of parties interested in
exploiting it's natural resources, and the Nimirr have joined many
Yaeger military units, particularly the Rangers and related troops, using their
natural abilities to aid the Yaeger troopers.
