- Religion/Beliefs: The Miri belive in the O'sai, a mystical energy that requires balance. They belive that the Miri are a race gifted by the O'sai the task of maintaining it's balance. They go so by hunting those force users that abuse their power and recording the future so to know things that may help their quest for balance. They know this, and many other things, due to the book of Mirus. The original copy is held on Coruscant, but most Miri carry a copy. It contains the most important predictions of the Miri and the rules that the Miri must follow.
- General behavior: The Miri look down to the force users of other species but believe that any can earn respect if they deserve it. Miri are taken to there tribe elder or the Coruscant manor to assess there abilities at the age of 6. There they begin there training. Depending on the tribe and the ability the child will train for a certain job. Those with a large force potential will be trained for the job of a seer and will learn there power to mastery. Those with just above average will often become scholars that carry out the work of the seers. Those that can simply use it to a reasonable level will learn what they can and then be taught to use a weapon and sent with a couple of others to hunt Sith and Jedi or will be taught a common trade like blacksmithing. Some with the potential for the rank of scholar will choose to become hunters, or a mix of the two. Miri are fully trained at 17 but they are sent out on a years journey if they are hunter rant or above. In that year they are to find a lost artefact, see the sight of a prophecy unfolding, hunt a rogue Sith or Jedi and go to a large number of pilgrimage sites. If they succeed they are given the job, if they fail they are sent to do it again.
The Miri were a race born on Coruscant. during its war between the first two races on the planet they helped neither side on military affairs but solved many inter-tribe issues such as a lack of food or bandit attacks. As humans became the primary race they relied on them for food. They built a large building where they stored their prophecies and their artefacts.
A long times later, when the empire came, they scattered their artefacts across the galaxy. They knew that soon their manor would be invaded. At this point the Miri sent a number of tribes to the outer rim in case there manor was completely destroyed and their race genocided, the rest continued to live in the underground of Coruscant. When the Empire was destroyed, they rebuilt and built the system we know today, operating the same way ever since.
