Inter Minorian
The Inter Minorians are a race of humanoids from Inter Minor.
Physical Characteristics
The Inter Minorians are made of two known types. There was once only one type but the higher class were given more impotant positions and the lower recieved the worst jobs. Gradually the differences between the two classes broadened causing physical changes as well. (DW: Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters)
Officials
The Officials are the upper-class of the Inter Minorians. They look like grey-skinned humans with a large bald spot. The officials ran Inter Minor, doing all the bureaucratic functions. The officials spoke in a formalized tone, always using "One" instead of "I". The officials were generally xenophobic and formalized.
Functionaries
The Functionaries are the lower-class of the Inter Minorians. They look like grey-skinned humanoids with deep-set eyes, bald heads, extended cheeks and diamond-shaped noses. The functionaries grunted to communicate and appear to be of lesser intelligence. The functionaries did all the menial jobs on Inter Minor, such as transportation. The functionaries were oppressed by the officials and were therefore very rebellious.
History
The Inter Minorians originally interacted with the rest of the galaxy, until the Great Space Plague. For the next thousand years, the Inter Minorians increased their military and stopped all alien travellers to their planet.
Eventually, the official, President Zarb, tried to decrease this xenophobia. He disbanded the army, and allowed aliens onto Inter Minor. He also tried to stop the rebellious functionaries by making the first visitors be Lurman showmen to amuse them. 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. These officials tried to sabotage the Miniscope and release a Drashig, but the Drashigs were stopped and Zarb stayed in power for the time being. (DW: Carnival of Monsters)
