Ginaz was a planet made famous for its Swordmasters. It was also the ancestral home of House Ginaz, who were ultimately defeated by House Moritani in a War of Assassins.
Its size and atmosphere was very similar to Old Earth, although its surface was covered in more water (over 90%). The land area consisted of scattered sandy archipelagos with minimal vegetation.
The world had long been inhabited by a small but ferocious culture of warrior humans. These people played an important role during the Butlerian Jihad, where they fought as mercenaries in close combat against the thinking machines. Over the millennia these people later evolved into the renowned Swordmasters.
