Tini

Tini was the second planet in the Refniai star system in the Orion Neutrality Area in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. It was a class G planet, and had no moons, but it was home to an Orion colony.

Tini was a harsh desert world lying beneath two red suns, and was said to be "the Orion Vulcan".

The original inhabitants of Tini were the Miln, a slender 2.5 metre tall race. They were the last to resist the Orion rebels in the Orion War, but ultimately decayed and the Orions couldn’t be bothered completely conquering them. Peace was never formalised, and no real trade between the two every took place. By the 23rd century, legend claimed that the Miln still lived in their half-ruined delicate lace-crystal cities.

The Orions, meanwhile, burrowed underground to construct plounla, subterranean cities. There were at least 5922 of these cities in the late 23rd century, each with over a billion inhabitants and their own ruling families. Encircling each plounla were evaporator farms that proved quite effective at feeding the growing population. These warren-like cities depended on their life-support systems.

After the Four Years War, Tini was chosen as the primary resettlement site for refugees from Sector Four. Most were unable to adjust the conditions on Tini and soon relocated. Only those from Vola V stayed and had any success, for they’d lived in similar conditions, in large subsurface cities kept alive by life-support, albeit from an ocean-dominated world.

It had a total surface area of 432,260,830 square kilometers and 100% land mass. Tini was made up of 19% normal metals, 15% radioactive elements, 6% industrial crystals and 5% special minerals, with only trace amounts of gemstones.

It was a Class G desert world, with a thin atmosphere and a 26 hour day.

It had a technological/socio-political index of 999974-74 and a planetary trade profile of FCCEDEF/B(A).
