| The ancestral Notumi were a humanoid species that evolved on the once-verdant world of [[:system:Cerberus]] V, located in the [[:sector:Orion Nebula Sector]]. By around [[:timeline#Terra Ascendant|1000PT]], the Notumi had developed a mercantile capitalist society, and were towards the end of their first industrial revolution. It was during this period that they first began to mine the rich reserves of a blue alloy that occurred in several of their homeworld’s largest continents. Initially mined as a decorative material, the alloy became very popular in wealthy Notumi society for jewellery and art objects. Within a generation or two, societal elites noticed that those associated with the mining industry began to develop traits that gave them profound advantages - on average, they showed greater aptitude for learning, science and mathematics, as well as faster reflexes and reaction time. Scientists discovered that the alloy was bio-active and could become incorporated into Notumi physiology, particularly in the nervous system. The elites, quick to maintain their status and advantage, acquired the alloy to ingest in the hopes that it would improve them and their offspring. Within a short time, the alloy, which had been named //notum// after the species, became ubiquitous at all levels of Notumi society, and many involved in its extraction and sale became obscenely wealthy. | The ancestral Notumi were a humanoid species that evolved on the once-verdant world of [[:system:Cerberus]] V, located in the [[:sector:Orion Nebula Sector]].
