History and Background

In -3548, the Gurvin Interstellar Democratic Republic was founded. The Hivers had been waiting for the unification of separate Gurvin worlds into a single polity and now declared them an "adult" species no longer requiring close guidance. The Hive Federation offered most of Eloqim Subsector for the Gurvin to explore and colonise.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1116

• -3650: The Hivers judge that the Gurvin have matured sufficiently to be allowed outside their home system. They provide them with the jump-1 drive but limit their exploration to the Aghan Subsector.
  • Gurvin extrasolar colonies are founded on Ataof (Folgore 0203), Otuna (Folgore 0104), and Spakaem (Folgore 0304).
• -3548: Eager to present a united front to acquire jump-2 drive from the Hivers, the Gurvin form the Gurvin Interstellar Democratic Republic and make an official request to join the nascent Hive Federation and be provided with jump-2. The Hivers declare the Gurvin an "adult" species and agree.
  • Hivers cede most of Eloqim Subsector for the Gurvin to explore and colonise.
