Lore

The capital city of N-Ddshriiipjiziss / Carbuncle

The city of New Beatnik

A Rirediian mountain slug in the northern mountain slug reserve, approximately 1500 klicks northeast of Colubis City.
Many think the mountain slugs have their name because they live in the mountains. Truth is, these lovely creatures have their name because they are HUGE as a mountain! The creature in the picture is very young and thus quite a small exemplar, not older than 300 standardyears. But it has already the typical and very beautiful and symbiotic forest or "symbioforest" on its back. The symbioforest of the Slug on the picture is composed of at least 2000 different types of plants, fungus and small animals

From Captain Beatnik's post: If you're looking for background information on the Riredians, you've come to the right person. I had a lot of business dealings with representatives of this fascinating people and could fill an entire book with anecdotes about the interesting, curious, and amusing experiences I've had. However, I assume that, as an archivist, you and all those who are looking for information about Riredi and the Riredians in the archives would be more interested in the hard facts. Therefore, I've prepared a brief profile, and I hope that you and everyone who wishes to visit Riredi and engage in trade there will find it useful. So let´s get started:

• 

  Riredian native caste: Timeriver runner
• 

  Riredian native caste: Factformer
• 

  Riredian native caste: Lightsinger

The Riredians are an advanced, spacefaring insectoid species distinguished by their complex social structure and remarkable intelligence. Their society is divided into three castes, each differing both in their societal function and physical appearance:

Timeriver Runner (about 66% of the population):
This caste represents the general populace, including workers, service providers, farmers, spaceship crews, traders, and common soldiers. They are highly organized and characterized by efficiency and precision in all their activities. Members of the Timeriver Runner caste have a rather compact, distinctly triangular head shape and strong biting tools.

Factformer (about 22% of the population):
The Factformers are the scientists, technicians, engineers, medical professionals, and military officers. They are responsible for the development of new technologies and procedures, the exploration of the real world, and maintaining the health of the population. A special task of the Factformers is the creation and maintenance of contacts with other species. All business negotiations with other species are exclusively conducted by representatives of the Factformers. A notable physical trait of this caste is their rather rounded, larger head shape and the lack of pronounced biting tools.

Lightsinger (about 12% of the population):
This caste maintains the humanities and preserves the historical, spiritual, and cultural heritage of society. The Lightsingers are responsible for the cultural identity and spiritual development of the people. Whether they can be considered priests is questionable at best. The Riredians do not practice religion in the conventional sense, at least not visibly. What stands out and is widely known is their pseudoreligious fondness for the number 3 and its multiples. A distinctive physical characteristic of the Lightsingers is their golden faceted eyes, while the other two castes have deep black eyes.

Social Structure:
Between the castes, there is a profound harmony that is not found in human society. All Riredians are committed to the welfare and thriving of the entire people, seeing it as their primary life goal to further its development. Personal ambition is entirely foreign to them. Instead of families or clans, they live and work in cross-caste cooperatives, whose size and composition are determined by the maximum benefit for the tasks at hand.

Emotional Intelligence:
Riredians possess an emotional life that is fundamentally different from that of humans. Typically human emotions such as love or hatred, jealousy, joy, or sorrow are unknown to them. A very strong emotion for this people is the recognition they receive for their work and achievements, both individually and as a community. The recognition they receive is roughly equivalent to what humans feel as joy and happiness.

Interaction with Other Species:
When interacting with other spacefaring species, Riredians are stoic, reserved, and extremely cautious. As a result, they often appear aloof or even arrogant during initial contact and are considered difficult negotiation and conversation partners. Their direct way of communicating, without small talk or any form of polite falsehoods, can easily be misunderstood. Gaining their trust is challenging, but once earned, they are extremely reliable partners.

Government:
The Riredians are governed by the Three Protective Mothers, outstanding individuals who do not belong to any caste and rule as queens in a highly specialized manner. They are worshipped as god-like figures, and their orders are law. Humans would describe this form of government as tyranny, but one should not measure the Riredians by human standards. First of all, the Three Protective Mothers indeed are biologically the mothers of every single Riredian. Furthermore, like every Riredian, they are not interested in personal wealth or luxury but solely in the well-being and progress of their people. The Three Protective Mothers reside in a gigantic palace complex in the center of the capital, N-Ddshriiipjiziss (Carbuncle). This complex is so vast that it can be seen with the naked eye from an orbiting altitude.

Conclusion:
The Riredians are a fascinating example of an advanced, insectoid civilization in the Ooniverse. Their unique social structure, intelligence, and commitment to the well-being of the entire people make them a remarkable species capable of overcoming complex challenges and maintaining a rich cultural identity. As trade partners, they are utterly reliable, and if one is willing to engage with them, lucrative deals can be made.

The Traders Almanach

My trading tip for small money: Best would be to buy memory chips or bulldozers and ship them to Reinen. My guesstimate is: the memory chips sell there with a gain of roughly 27 to 34%. Moreover, the memory chips can also be sold well enough in Oresri.
