How this came to be is lost in history, but the most popular theory is that the world was settled by a Vilani group fleeing the conquest of the Ziru Sirka by the Terrans. Certainly there are Vilani traditions to be observed among the modern population.

Gurgaliinash has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
