The Inter Minoran officials were very conscious of illness. No aliens were allowed to Inter Minor until President Zarb came to power. This was due to their fear of diseases being brought in from other planets after the Great Space Plague thousands of years earlier. They were also conscious of enemies and were afraid to show weakness. ([[TV]]: ''[[Carnival of Monsters (TV story)|Carnival of Monsters]]'')

Unfortunately, the [[Lurman]]'s [[Miniscope]] was found out to be illegally holding lifeforms, which meant it had to be destroyed. This destruction failed, and led some officials to believe [[Zarb]] was a poor ruler for his actions.

This topic might have a better name.

Inter Minoran is used in AUDIO: Peepshow.

Talk about it here.

We don't know the name of this thing.

But we do know where it came from. So we're using that to title the page logically. If you know a better, more precise name, tell us.

The Inter Minorans originally interacted with the rest of the galaxy, until the Great Space Plague. For the next thousand years, the Inter Minorans increased their military and stopped all alien travellers to their planet.

President Zarb tried to decrease this xenophobia. He disbanded the army and allowed aliens onto Inter Minor. He tried to improve the lot of the Functionaries, but since this would reduce the privileges of the Officials he met strong opposition. He also tried to calm the rebellious functionaries by making the first visitors be Lurman showmen to amuse them. Amusement had previously been outlawed as purposeless. Zarb's brother, Kalik, believed he was a poor ruler, and tried to find ways to make him look bad. When Vorg's miniscope was found to be illegally holding lifeforms, it had to be destroyed. Kalik and Orum tried to sabotage the miniscope and release a Drashig, but the Drashigs were stopped and Zarb stayed in power for the time being. (TV: Carnival of Monsters)
