World Starport (Sp)

Shulgiasu has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

Shulgiasu has a population of 8,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

Demographics

• Human, over 90%
• Vegan, less than 10%
  • The Vegan species, named as such by the Solomani for their proximity to the star Vega, are more properly called the Tyui, though they accept the Human label.

World Languages

• Anglic
• Vilani
• Wahuaragz
  • Many Vegan tuhuir have created artificially constructed languages to better express particular philosophical or aesthetic concepts. Most of these are known only to members of the specific tuhuir and linguistic scholars.

World Technology Level

No information yet available.

World Government (G)

Shulgiasu is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

The system is a member of the Vegan Autonomous Region.

Under Vegan rule, the Human citizens of Shulgiasu are considered members of a single tuhuir. Vegans of the Guardian tuhuir are in nominal control of the system's government but they delegate much of their authority to a civil-service bureaucracy staffed by Humans.

Historical Data

Shulgiasu was settled during the Ziru Sirka (Anglic: Ziru Sirka), when it was the sector capital, the most densely populated Human world of the sector, and the center of Vilani culture on the Rim. It served as the main naval base and Naval Depot of the Aasha Ziru Sirka (Anglic: Aasha Ziru Sirka) for the Ninth Interstellar War. Terran immigration was significant after the Ninth Interstellar War, but the Vilani population was never completely assimilated. Vilani language and culture remain important on Shulgiasu even today.

During the Long Night, Shulgiasu established strong ties with the Vegan Polity, especially the nearby world of Muan Kwoyen (Solomani Rim 2218). With its Vegan ties and strongly Vilani culture, Shulgiasu suffered fierce oppression during Solomani rule. Many monuments and relics of the First Imperium were destroyed by the Movement. After the Imperium returned, Shulgiasu renewed its ties to the Vegans, and indeed in 1036 it petitioned to join the Vegan Autonomous Region.
