Sienaimiestas

A sienaimiestas, plural sienaimiestasikut, meaning "walled city" in Murese, was a type of unique to Mure that was composed of an   and its dependent territories. Sienaimiestasikut were constructed by the during their occupation of Mure between  and, and were subsequently besieged, captured, and occupied by the Black Sith during the Long Defeat. Their precincts housed close to 80% of the Murese population from the time of the Murese Premodernity onward.

These nations developed in response to the planet's distance of three from its sun, which resulted in orbital periods of close to five. As a result, Murese winters were long, harsh, and unforgiving, lasting for several standard years on average. As such, these city-states were deliberately constructed by the Rakata in the Murese, where the weather was less erratic, the winters significantly milder, and the land more arable and suitable for agriculture. The territory controlled by these cities varied from city-state to city-state, though each generally oversaw a sizable percentage of the surrounding countryside where the farms responsible for feeding the populations were located.

These city-states were frequently at war with each other during both the Rakata and Black Sith epochs. In many respects, the Long Defeat was as much a civil conflict between competing Rakata cities as it was a war between the Rakata and the Sith. The later Murese Premodernity period was characterized by nonstop sacred between the Black Sith city-states and their grafaskut (Murese for "counts" or "dukes" ) leaders. Even united under the banner of the Murese Empire after, these cities continued to vie with each other for planetary hegemony, and wars remained a large part of the Black Sith culture.
