Uurku

• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Arnakhish Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• It is the homeworld of the Ashdak Meshukiiba sophontic species and minor race.

Description

The world is a satellite of the innermost gas giant Stayla. Uurku appears from the available geophysical and planetological evidence to be a fragment of a larger body. Scars on the surface of the other satellites of Stayla seem to indicate a multiple collision, possibly from a body that wandered too close to the gas giant, was struck, then broke up under the massive tidal forces.
