Cidephi who are too annoying to their fellows get dumped on ihkhahptama space colonies.

Ihk views on this practice are sharply politicized. Those who are critical of it point out that there are reasons the individuals got dumped, with many being petty criminals. Ihk architecture isn’t built with such tiny beings in mind either, and accidents do occur. No one should have accidental murder on their conscious because they weren’t paying close attention to their tail for a moment.

Proponents point out that most banished individuals are neurodivergent and only guilty of crimes like being inappropriately loud and breaking social mores that ihk don’t care about. There aren’t really any other species that live full time in zero gravity so if the ihk don’t take them in they may face much worse among their own people than a very rare accidental squishing. Also, they’re so tiny and adorable???
