Background

Detected by Human reconnaisance probes, Remidia soon revealed itself to be an intriguing world teeming with life. Remidia is home to the Remidian civilization (named after the planet, both loose translations of their indigenous counterparts), a species of intelligent, non-carbon-based terrestrial creatures. While physically intimidating (vaguely reptilian in appearance), Remidia's folks appear to be gentle and cold-headed, although introverted by nature.

A well established Mid Type I civilization, most of their ships are equipped with a form of rudimentary Warp Drive, although rarely used. Indeed, Remidians show little interest in venturing beyond the boundary of their stellar system. As such, no long-term commercial or official diplomatic contacts have been established, with the exception of a few Human scientific organizations in hopes of learning more on Remidia's emdemic lifeforms as well as its ancient ruins, similar in nature to those discovered a few years earlier on Xeikon.

Physical Description

With a diameter of 18 668 km, Remidia (RS 1186-2287-7-2021192-82 A8, 9.7.3) is a large, Titan-like planet with an extremely low surface temperature (-183 C), which is constantly swept by strong winds and blizzards. Moonless, its oceans are not affected by tides, yet remain constantly agitated. The planet is part of a large triple-star system, located in the periphery of the Andromeda Galaxy. While home to 19 planets, Remidia is the only planet of this system known to harbor life. The system's age has been estimated at 7.44 billion years.

Life on Remidia

Despite the extremely harsh climate (from a Human point of view), a plethora of lifeforms have developed, from the sapient Remidians to simpler, yet deadly micro-organisms. Thankfully, the latters are almost constantly frozen or washed away by the planet's large methane oceans. Complex life as also developed in those seas, dominated by the Claemmas (a translation of the name given by indigenous populations), large and extremely ferocious eel-like creatures. Naturally, its terrifying presence has captured the mind of Remidians for ages, and the species has cemented its prime position in Remidian culture and religion throughout time.
