The Ribosians are a race of humanoids native to Ribos. They are identical to Humans and one can easily pass as the other. They are a relatively primitive species, giving the planet a Class 3 rating. The Ribosians have a vaguely medieval-European culture. Most Ribosians wore thick furs to deal with the cold and metal armour. The major Ribosian city is Shur, though there are a backwater settlements to the North. This city held many important relics, such as a valuable crown. There is also the Concourse, a slightly dirty pedestrian area. Underneath all this was the Catacombs, where the dead are stored and packs of Shrivenzales live.
The Ribosians believe in Ice Gods and Sun Gods which fight across Ribos. They also believe the stars are ice crystals and there are no other planets. Anyone who doesn't believe this is tortured as a heretic. The Ribosians also believe in the Seekers, a group of women who appear have various clairvoyant powers. (DW: The Ribos Operation)
