Planet Himiko

Planet Himiko is the sole habitable world in the Himiko System and is orbited by the city-ship, Nishitama which provides Yamataian citizens in transition an alternative to planetary living.

History

From YE 33 to YE 41, planet Himiko hosted 9.2 million people in 500 Refugee Towns on the Southernmost continent. The camps were eventually closed once people moved out to regular houses, mostly on other worlds. The facilities and buildings from these towns were taken and moved to Nataria for use in the Kuvexian War.

In YE 36, Himiko became part of the PAINT public transportation system and had a Tenba that regularly visits and provides passenger flights to Shinjuku Starport on Hanako's World. Civilian cargo shipping was primarily provided by Trinary Star Shipping, which had storefronts in all of the planet's major cities.

In YE 41, planet Himiko was taken by the Interstellar Kingdom Of Kuvexia during the Kuvexian Invasion of YE 41, part of the Kuvexian War.
