Kew's small population is a collection of eccentric scientists and inventors that retreated to this world to do their work without the interference of normal society. The locals are avid collectors of scientific samples, and it boasts some university quality botanical, microbiological and zoological archives, maintained in specially designed caverns for study by accredited researchers. With non-scientific visitors they are less hospitable and aloof.
