Iimpirin


Type: Rainforest World.
Region: Border Regions.
Trade Route: Long Path.
Sector: Yaeger Sector.
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.
