Cru'ela

The native born Mirians live in or near their capitol city of Cru'ela. This is located on the largest continent on the planet. It is situated on the east coast, on the north side of a large fresh water river. The land around it is fairly flat and extremely fertile. To the north about 32 km away are some mountains and to the south about 28 km away is a rugged terrain of dense woodlands and rough ground.

This is the location of the first contact between the Federation and the survivors of the original colony on Miri IV. See Starfleet records File: Miri - 2266-2847-ENT for a complete record of the USS Enteprise actions on the surface of the planet at this time.

The city itself holds about 50,000 and appears to be a Terran city from the 20th century. It's previously decayed infrastructure and neglected buildings have mostly been repaired. The only trully new buildings in the city are the hospital, univerity and the Miri Government structure.

The rest of the 250,000 Mirians are scattered along the banks of the large river that runs from the coast inland into the interior. Their is a lot of river traffic and it is large enought that most boats can travel up to 187 km inland.

To the north of the city at the base of the mountains is a major mining community.

Government Buildings

In the heart of the city are 5 large new buildings that have replaced those that were there before. These buildings are the new hospital, university, central administrative building, Cru'ela city hall and in the center is the Miri Planetary Council building.

The Cru'ela city hall is a large white stone structure that holds the Mirian colony leader. He is responsible for the development and day to day business of the city proper. Before they opened their planet up for settlement this was the only government building. At this time all of the various responsabilities and powers of the government for the entire planet was run out of this building. Now it is responsible only for the city and it's outlying areas.

After enough new immigrants had arrived it became evident that they would have to change, adjust their government to reflect the new planetary population makeup. This resulted in the creation of the Miri Planetary Council and construction was started on a new, larger complex to house that Council.

The Miri Planetary Council building is a wide spacious structure of white stone. It has a central council chamber that can hold way more councilors than it currently needs.

Councilors

The native Mirians have 9 representatives on the central planetary council. Of these 9, 3 are considered the senior councilors and preside over all the meetings. These are Mordon Mandel, Natasha Kirinoff and Liam O'Keefe.

The Terran colony representative from Europa is Edgar Brice who is a 47 year old teacher. He stands about 6'1" and weights about 160 lbs. He has short sandy hair short through with gray. His blue eyes are steady. He can be very forceful and tends to speak his mind.
