Welcome
Lemm I.N.G. Basestation.
The
Lemm are race I'm using in a SE3 e-mail game.
They
are based on (ripped off from) a well known TV show, a popular computer
game and a collection of short stories.
(Anyone
who can name all three will have a stature of yourselves build in a Lemm
village,
songs
will be sung about you and your name spoken in awed whispers by generations
of Lemm to come.
You're
welcome. It's the least I can do.)
Background
"Grandpa.
Tell me a story..."
Lemm was a peaceful, garden like world. Blue fields of grain
wave under green sky. Breezes blew, brooks babbled, birds sang, waves sparkled
in the sunshine... in other words, it was boring as heck after a
while.
That changed the day a starship crashed near a Lemm village (The
Lemm still celebrate this as 'Ko tash na bollin sha' which translates as
'The day the big thing fell from the sky and darn near killed Uncle Frank').
Until this time the Lemm, a very bright and inventive race, had not been
challenged by anything harder then hunting insects, avoiding predators
and falling into underground labyrinths from which they had to find their
way out.
Here,
however was something new!
For generations the Lemm studied the systems of the downed ship ...especially
it's entertainment data banks.
The
Lemm were fascinated by the many cultures of the 'U-Mans' and began to
copy what they saw.
Lemm
clans adopted different genre, western Lemms, medieval Lemms, ninja
Lemms,
etc.,
etc., etc.
One
space faring clan, now known as the Lemm I.N.G.s favored an old video show
(guess which one) as their role model (which goes a long way in explaining their ship designs.
Description
"Gee!
Your face rings a bell..."
The
Lemm are a small race of bipedal rodentoids, averaging about 6 inches in
height.
Their
skin color can range from very pale pink to deep brown.
Their
hair can be any color, although green seems to be predominant.
It
should be noted here that many clans that have formed around some of the stranger
genre make extensive use of make-up in their everyday lives. (i.e.,
horror, aliens...)
The
Lemm I.N.G.s
"Space...
it's really, really,really big! I'm not kidding!!"
Lemm
is a highly balkanized world, each clan uses the form of government appropriate
to their genre.
The
Lemm Interstellar Navigation Guild is, basically, a military dictatorship.
Their
leader is 'the Admiral', and the government is Starfleet Command.
(Bear
in mind, a Lemm dictatorship is still pretty mellow.)
The Home Force is responsible
for transport of cargo and goods between Lemm and off-world colonies.
The Defense Fleet is responsible
of military and escort operations.
Base Operations is responsible
for the smooth running of starbases and shipyards.
The Exploration Fleet is
responsible for seeking out new life and new... well, you get the idea.
The PPA
"We're from the government,
and we're here to help..."
A clan which works closely
with the Lemm I.N.G. and all lemm spacer clans is the
Planetary Protection Agency.
The PPA tracks any real
aliens on Lemm or it's colonies, and will deal with any problems the may
arise... painfully if need be.
The majority of PPA agents
run the day to day operations of the clan, keeping track of aliens, investigating
complaints and so on. They are called the LIB (Lemms in black).
If a problem cannot be handled
by regular LIB agents and an alien needs to be escorted world... or "handled",
the Dukes are called in.
Other Clans
"We are the world..."
This section is under constrution.
In the mean time, here's
a picture of a few alien lemm.
