Mirald Prime

United Intergalactic Nation (UIN) Archives: A Brief Background of the Miraldese of Mirald Prime

Mirald Prime is a relatively small planet located in the Gary Brooks Google sector (The grand prize of Gary Brooks being the 10 to the 34th power Google user)

The Miraldese are a pre-space travel species known for their exotic footwear, a national past-time called "oolapu" (sort of a combination of hula-hooping and river dance), and their propensity towards nonviolence. In fact their last documented act of violence was an overtly brisk "talk to the hand" by a frustrated wife to her husband. Apparently, the woman could no longer tolerate shopping with a husband that didn't know the difference between egg-white heels, pearl, mother of pearl, or vanilla bean. The incident was so out of Miraldian character, it was the focal point of news stories for weeks and an official judgment by the Miraldian High Court is still pending.

In appearance, the Miraldese resemble your typical human with the exception of a black patch on the back of their neck which is responsible for releasing pheromones. This single physical trait is attributed to their peaceful existence. Anytime a person is agitated the chemical is discharged into the air and they along with anyone near by experiences a blissful euphoria. When a Miraldese is in heat, the potency of their pheromone increases tenfold. The affect is likened to a rooster's caw after being strung up by its testicles.

Humans, on the other hand, tend to find the smell of the pheromone less pleasing. It is often described as defecated lamb chops and smoked Gouda cheese.

Sharing the planet with the Miraldese is a pre-industrial Pygmalion species. There is nothing remarkable about this tribal people other than a fable that they hold the key to a vast cache of knowledge. The UIN officially denounces this myth as a gross fallacy.
