Kursae are a race of sophonts who settled Charted Space with slow NAFAL generation ships around 200,000 PI.
Description (Specifications)
A Parsec, abbreviated as pc, is a considerable distance, and just one parsec is considered equivalent to 0.3066 ly.
- This makes the fact that the Kursae settled a region more than 3,000pc in diameter an incredibly significant feat. That means that this species settled a sphere nearly 920 ly around.
- Being that a jump drive with a J-1 rating can travel across a subsector in 8 to 10 jumps and the average subsector contains 80 parsecs of flat (simple calculation) volume of space, this is the equivalent of roughly 25 ly in volume. Extending that calculation means that the Kursae colonized a zone more than two sectors in volume. that would make them a major interstellar power by current political reckoning.
- It is generally believed that Kursae did this using NAFAL technology, an even more impressive feat.
History & Background (Dossier)
From an unidentified homeworld somewhere in now- Charted Space, these sophonts reached out and settled nearly five thousand worlds across half the galaxy.
- Over the next thousand centuries these many worlds of the Kursae all followed a common path: a downward spiral to a comfortable low technology level where they are today… sharing a common heritage of myths about their past.
