Slohb
Slohb(slobe) is a temperate ocean planet, and the homeworld of the Tireeie.
 * Controlled by
 * Theocratic Republic of Tretoii(TRET-twah) Island (simply Tretoii for short; largest nation on Slohb)
 * A number of smaller nations
 * Description: Slohb's surface is 99% water, with only a few islands here and there peeking above sea level. Slohb's oceans are home to a wide variety of life, from simple bacteria to complex multicellular organisms such as the sapient Tireeie.
 * Population (sapients): 9 billion
 * Gravity: 1.3g
 * Size: About 1.4 times the diameter of Earth
 * Rotational Period: 1.8 Earth days
 * Orbital Period: 2.1 Earth years
 * Natural Satellites
 * None
 * Notable Life
 * Tireeie

Tireeie
Tireeie(tie-REE-yee) are aquatic, omnivorous sapients from planet Slohb.
 * Origin: Slohb(slobe)
 * Description: Dolphin-sized organisms with a long, flexible, serpentine body. 6 fins, 5 eyes (arranged in an 'M' pattern) and a three-hinged jaw. Line of nostril-like gills underneath the main fin. Have long, flexible, noodle-like 'arms' that protrude from the cheeks; they branch out into three different appendages, with one, two, and three 'fingers' on each. They have a rather unique voice made of dolphin-like sounds that humans find difficulty in mimicking. Females are a bit smaller and have light blue skin, while males are typically larger and have a darker blue skin.
 * Life Expectancy: 80 years
 * Notable Technology
 * Most Tireeie technology is based on alien technology; they don't have many unique inventions
 * Smaller ships typically filled with water, though larger ships avoid this due to weight.
 * Hoversuit: Skintight suits, capable of hovering, made specifically for Tireeie. They allow Tireeie to survive and float around in non-aquatic environments.PabvreenSuit.png
 * Society: Due to being uplifted rather quickly, Tireeie behavior is still catching up, and therefore Tireeie society is still relatively primitive, and, at times, violent. Tireeie society is also very religious.
 * Religion: Around 70% of Tireeie are followers of Treaiinu(TREE-uh-new), and around 98% of Treaiinu's followers are Tireeie. Treaiinu is a religion based on alien visitation of Slohb (these aliens are known as the Treaii(TREE-uh)) and their uplifting of the Tireeie. Treaiinu myths tell of a diamond-shaped object falling from the sky and landing in the water near to Tretoii(TRET-twah) Island (one of Slohb's few islands, and one of the largest). Other myths tell of a golden city appearing on the island, and of otherworldly creatures helping to quickly advance Tireeie technology and culture. Treaiinu promotes equality, though it doesn't necessarily forbid violence. Later on, the Treaii (who the Tireeie still saw as gods) vanished suddenly, and the golden city on Tretoii Island was destroyed, though the religion remains. The symbol of Treaiinu resembles a round-cut diamond as viewed from the side (see the banner of Tretoii for an example), and the religion's color is gold.

Theocratic Republic of Tretoii Island
Tretoii(TRET-twah), named after the island in its center, is the largest nation on Slohb.
 * Notable Territory
 * Slohb (capital)
 * Many colonies, very few fully terraformed worlds.
 * Species
 * Tireeie (90%)
 * Other (10%)
 * Population: 4 billion
 * Society: The Theocratic Republic of Tretoii Island is very religious, like many other Tireeie societies. They value peace, equality, and exploration.
 * Religion
 * Treaiinu (85%)
 * Other (5%)
 * None (10%)
 * Unique Technology: Typical Tireeie technology, such as hoversuits, etc.

Eiishesh
The Eiishesh(YEE-shesh) are a Tireeie space pirate faction.
 * Notable Territory
 * Mainly small stations, rarely any permanent colonies. Spread throughout the galaxy, clustered near the edge, far from the core.
 * Species
 * Tireeie (100%)
 * Population: 80,000
 * Society: The Eiishesh are Tireeie space pirates feared in many parts of the galaxy. They are known for attacking ships, stations, and sometimes even planets in search of money and technology, often leaving no survivors. They are very well known, and they give Tireeie in general a bad image.
 * Religion: An extreme variant of Treaiinu that calls for limited equality among Tireeie, and disregards any other lifeforms.
 * Unique Technology: Typical Tireeie technology; not as advanced as that of developed Tireeie nations.
