Umeen orWenda

Umeen orWenda was a male Payav of the nation-state of Larenda on planet Mestiko. A scientist and politician, he was a senior member of the Larenda Convocation's Atmospheric and Astronomic Council at the time of "The Pulse". He was a long-time advocate for satellite technology and space exploration, stances which often put him at odds with Servant Raya elMora, although the two still maintained mutual respect and friendship for one another.

Umeen was one of the select few who knew of the threat posed by a rogue pulsar to Mestiko, prior to its becoming common knowledge on Mestiko. (TOS eBook: Mere Anarchy: Things Fall Apart)
