Pimira

The Pimira are a short spider like species that stand between 150 cm to 170 cm, have a weaker muscle and bone structure then most species but a much faster reaction time. They are fantastic climbers thanks to their claw like fingers and toes and their multiple arms giving them better grip.

## History

The Pimira had a long history of conflict with themselves stretching back centuries, their rocky overly hot home world of Primarious made the fight for survival a constant as only a handful of the worlds land could be occupied at a time and even less of it farmed. As the conflicts continued on they eventually realized that the lands they could exist on were rapidly dwindling. Their star was expanding and soon the inner worlds of their home system would be inhospitable to life of any kind. They quickly developed a space program and attempted to launch survey vessels to the moons of the gas giants on the outer end of their system.

By 294 DoS they were able to launch a ship filled with over a thousand Pimira on it. After three yrears of travel the ship suffered a catastrophic failure and would have been absolutely destroyed if it wasn't for a Grand Duchy of Julithar ship scanning the system. They were quick to fall to their knees before what they saw as their salvation. Even though international law forbid the uplifting of species the captain decided that allowing the extinction of this species was a worse crime and so began evacuating the Pimira. The Pimira were allowed safe haven in the Grand Duchy as long as they accepted Rei'Olozon as their one true god. The Pimira were only to glad to accept a new god if it meant salvation. Though this meant losing allot of their culture many were all to happy to lose it for a chance at survival.

After officially joining the Grand Duchy in 299 DoS the Pimira mostly were working low end labour jobs, such as serving jobs or construction. Despite the fact that the Julitharians agreed that saving them was the right thing to do none really knew what to make of them, they didn't totally fit into the society and due to the low wage jobs many had no choice but to take a large amount of the Pimira had to turn to crime to survive. By the time of the Karadachia conflict in 312 DoS there were still very few if any Pimira in the military as it was considered a high honor to serve. However by 350 DoS Pimira were more common in the Grand Duchy Navy; though few were promoted past the rank of captain.

## Culture

Well much of the old Pimiran culture was largely let go after their joining of the Grand Duchy in 299 DoS. Many artifacts were not retrieved from their home world and new generations preferred to adopt their saviors culture. Well some culture is preserved through traditions the Pimira seemed to enjoy the idea of a a fresh start in the Grand Duchy. Many old religions, well saved for historical reasons by the Julitharians, were abandoned in favor of Rei'Olozon.

### Pim-punk

   Following the conclusion of the Karadachia conflict in 316 DoS many Pimira had gotten their first taste of being part of the Grand Duchy army and were elevated to a higher social position thanks to it. With this many found new levels of income and began raising families as their population exploded. This new population of Pimira began to form a unique sub-culture as the children of the immigrates and war fighters began to come into their own. By 334 DoS this formed into what's known as Pim-Punk (short for Pimira punk) a rebellion against their parent and the Grand Duchy's strict social system of honor and discipline. This at first took the form of juvenile punks taking to the streets in well dressed, but loose fitting, clothing. But this grew with a large music scene popularized by these group of Pimira and the young Julitharian who joined them who were looking to cut loose from their own responsibilities. Well many frowned at this culture at first it quickly became apparent that it was to powerful a movement to stall. Some in the Grand Duchy government were concerned that it as being pushed by OSNI to destroy Grand Duchy ideals.

However the cultural movement reached its peak in 339 DoS and though it never faded it was clear that Pim-punk was just a style for some and not a movement. As the generation who started needed to join the work force and next generation didn't uphold Pim-punk it became a look that defined a half decade and sticks out in many peoples memory and many bands attempt to replicate the sound of that movement.
