Urbanization[edit]
Surface architecture is generally utilitarian, with little thought for aesthetics. There are plenty of underground areas, as Gurvin evolved from tunnelling den-living animals. Surface buildings are often grouped very closely together, connected via corridors on several levels. Gurvin do not generally separate residential areas from business areas. Their cities also have an unfortunate reputation for significant pollution problems.

- -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.
- -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.
- -2029 to -2013: The Hiver-K'kree War to coreward threatens the Hiver community, and sees the firming of the Hive Federation into its modern form.
