Home

I have lived in Trimeryevaaryam on the northern hemisphere of Intaki Prime for a very long time now, my family has long lasting ties with the town, owning, most of it and its surrounding lands. Well I say own but one would probably be more correct to say we are its stewards.

The groves that lie to the west of the town produce much of the local food and jobs. The population of the area, is a majority of Intaki residents, with the next largest ethnicity being some Brutor residents, who have only populated the area in the last couple of decades.


It's not an isolated destination as it has nearby rail access to the closest airport and launch pad, however the only visitors are normally former residents, returning to visit relatives or residents returning home from there jobs elsewhere on the planet.


There are some small circular groves of compressed trees and vines which produce much fruit. Their colour contrasts distinctly with the jungle that lingers behind them. The jungle had once engulfed the whole of the west side of town and it was my family who cut it back and helped form the groves.


Before that time the village, as it was then, got it's food by hunting the local wildlife or by buying food in from other nearby settlements, this often meant food was rather sparse. After the formation of the groves things have improved but with the current rate of population growth problems are not too far off and we lack the supplies to properly cultivate more groves.


To the north and east lie grass lands dotted with more patches of jungle and two of the three rivers that give the town it's name, Although efforts have been made to cultivate this land for herd grazing animal we have so far not had much success.
To the south is the third river which descends from the far off mountains and through the desert and then through the outskirts of town. This area is not the most pleasant part of town as here is where the industry takes place in four heavy engineering factories which to this day are entirely automated. This is also where the rail station is situated.


The Masseri family mansion is presides in the centre of town, a spire of glass and metal the tallest building in town, it is surrounded by out buildings which once where storage facilities but now have been re-purposed to serve the needs of the local SOE group. With my relatives, I and our staff taking up the top three floors the remaining floors are occupied by the local SOE tactical team and various members of my crew.


The local people are not as fond of my family as they where in the past this probably is because we are now mostly capsuleer's and this has definitely put some of the locals on edge however at this time their seems to be no outright aggression towards us and we definitely have some genuine supporters in the local community.
