**Iceimi** are a race adept at there frozen home world of Inof, making them resistant to the cold.

## History

Not much is know about the early history of the Iceimi people due to the destruction of much of their historical documents by the Inoves Conclave. What little we do know is they had conflicts with creatures such as the Qallupill and Adlet and later with Imperium of Sapens.

Adlets were one of their fiercest enemies for much of their history. Eventually the tribes became civilizations and civilizations became empires. Chief among them was the nation of Kovalgrad, led by Lady Alena Kovalyonok; it was her who united the Iceimi people against the Adlet in driving the dog-men far away. They were never a threat to the Iceimi afterwards. For this, she was made the first Empress of the Iceimi people. She and later her descendants would rule over the people of Inof and, despite the freezing temperatures of their world which would easily drive other species to stone age barbarism, greatly advanced in culture and technology.

Eventually they discovered space travel and would set up their first colonies on their moon Taqqiq. They colonised many worlds and met many races; it can only be assumed that the encounters went well. Things were good for a while until their first contact with the Imperium of Sapens. Sapenians, ever distrustful of other races, immediately attacked the Iceimi ships and a devastating war would follow. The Iceimi joined a coalition of other species who had banded together to beat back the Imperium’s expansion and for a time they were able to push back against them.

During this time, the power of the Imperial House began to fade as other governmental bodies gained power. This would last for a century or so before the Imperium’s military recovered enough to once again devastate the Iceimi colonies. Their last emperor, Vasili Kovalyonok, died fighting off the invasions.

In their desperate need for survival, they were given aid by the darkest of sources; the Cronirex Dominion who aided in the defence of the Iceimi worlds. The Dominion had ulterior motives in this, orchestrating the murder of the Imperial family (save for one of Vasili’s daughters) and the instatement of a magocratic puppet government, the Inoves Conclave. Dominion then helped the Iceimi invade the Sapenian core worlds in revenge, ending with Borya Kaur’s invasion of Sapens itself.

The continued conflict, which also involved many other nations other than the two empires, didn’t go well for the Iceimi, as it ended in pyrrhic victory. However, hey still cheer this victory to this day. After the war’s end, the Iceimi mostly stayed in a few colonies they were allowed to keep by the Dominion, and they rejoined their coalition.
