Ugarup is a preindustrial, moderate population water world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.

• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its primary star, giving a hot pole, a cold pole and a twilight zone in-between.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ultima Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• It is the homeworld of the Gurungan, a sophont species and minor race as well as an aquatic race.
• This world has a colony at Morgana (world).

Native Sophont (NIL): Gurungans

The Gurungans are a pseudo-octopoidal race of aquatic hexapods, who strongly value their privacy after an initial period of exploitation by outside species. Their homeworld and colonies are largely under imperial stewardship and controls. While largely insular and isolationist, an increasing number of Gurungans have been engaging in interstellar trade and even intercultural exchanges, especially with other aquatic species with whom environmental accommodations are more easily managed.
