Gniivi

It seems likely the Gniivi are a minor race. Ar-Gniiv sounds like a suitable homeworld. But does anyone else have any information about this state?

Hinterworlds was given a short write up in issue #39 of Challenge. The Gniivi get a paragraph. Key phrases include "large, long-lived race", "fiercely independent", and "j2 ships". Not a lot to go on, really.

"A nonhuman, minor race spanning the Hinterworlds-Leonidae border, the Gniivi use their jump-2 capable ships to maintain their 23-world state, Though engaging in trade with nearby client states- the Imperium, the Solomani, the Two thousand worlds, and the Hive Federation_ the Gniivi are fiercely protective of their independence.
A race of large, long-lived creatures, the Gniivi's expansion has been slow and deliberate- growing only when resources allow.
Recently, there have been reports that the Gniivi may be linked to commercial raiding in the sector's core, but their governing body adamantly denies such charges, claining the
Gniivi would see no benefit from such ventures."
Non-human, trade across four borders, TL 11 ships, slow and deliberate means planned out and well considered, not rushed. Merchant's or Traders.
Any help?

Government codes all over the place no "unified" gov type, Low population-low birth rate (okay for a long lived species), No HI pop, no Industrial worlds,
TL12 worlds but still using J2, maybe Vilani Imperium style drives,
May try to look up the UPP"S for Leonide sector worlds check those 7 worlds.

The UWPs and names can quite easily be found at TravellerMap (http://travellermap.com), which has data for both Hinterworlds and Leonidae.
Also, Ar-Gniiv (which is in Leonidae) is a hi-pop world, and I think there's another one in that section as well.

Yet the two highest Population worlds in The Hinterworlds have the lowest Tech Levels!
A mystery!

Or simply a pattern of behavior. Deliberate expansion instead of the usual human model.
