Ushra (Da 1016) is a high-population, industrial world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• Its economy is rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to rapidly improve barring outside forces.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sindal Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description

Ushra is the only TL–16 Industrial world in Dagudashaag sector, and so occupies an important position in the sector’s economy.

Point of Interest: Eden Orbital Naval Complex

Eden Orbital Naval Complex is a Highport, a large facility devoted to construction (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.
  • Reports that the Navy has established an antimatter production and containment facility in system have been consistently denied.

Other research work is carried out at Naval installations elsewhere in the system.

History & Background (Dossier)

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 monopolized by the military in many systems). The standard of living enjoyed by the population is second to none.
