Aseturshi

The Aseturshi High Federation, known more simply as Aseturshi, is a federation of multiple Urshiib worlds and is a member of the Imperium of Galactic States. It is comprised of nine inhabited systems and nine other external outposts in other systems. The original High Federation was founded 15A74B years before the formation of the Imperium as a confederation of multiple city-states seeking greater trade and mutual protection. The current High Federation is the sixth iteration and was founded a few generations after the Urshiib first achieved FTL travel. The High Federation is located primarily within the rimward part of Grand Division 8, with two systems in the coreward part of Grand Division 8 and a few external outposts in Grand Division 9. Although Aseturshi is the largest Urshiib state and contains the Urshiib homeworld, it only contains 1/3 of the total Urshiib population in the galaxy, with hundreds of billions of other Urshiib scattered among other member states of the Imperium and also barbarian states outside of the Imperium.

History
The only sapient species to evolve on their home planet, Urshiib civilization first began to develop in the mountains and cave systems of Aseturshikunno, away from the dangerous creatures which roamed the plains and the forests and which prevented early largescale settlement of the flatlands.
