Subsector F: USHRA

Duchy Capital - Ushra (1016 A625943-G)

Individually, the system of Ushra is important having had a major effect on the political structure of Dagudashaag since the middle of the Long Night - at its height (at about -300 to -120) the Ushran Empire covered two-thirds of the present Duchy plus part of neighbouring Zeda subsector. The subsector as a whole is now important, as a communications link between Medurma and the subsectors of Mimu and Zeda.

Ushra is the only tech level-16 Industrial world in Dagudashaag sector, and so occupies an important position in the sector's economy. Interestingly, the democratic nature of Ushra’s government, has meant that TL16 technology has reached the general population far sooner than might otherwise be expected (the highest levels of technology are often monopolised by the military in many systems). The standard of living enjoyed by the population is second to none.

Eden Orbital Naval Complex is a large facility devoted to shipbuilding and repair of naval vessels. A great deal of development work is done at the complex, directed towards the production of prototype TL-16 naval vessels. Several successful designs have been produced so far, the largest of these being the 40,000-ton strike cruiser Alexander Brayden.

Other research work is carried out at Naval installations elsewhere in the system. Reports that the Navy has established an antimatter production and containment facility insystem have been consistently denied.
