Shurgi Main
The Shurgi Main
is a branch of the Vland Main, and
was
settled early in the First Imperium.
The Corridor sector
was first entered at the world Sharkhagu (3235 Corridor) by
ships of the
Sharurshid
Merchant Company out of Sakin (0135 Vland). Sharkhagu,
only one jump away,
strongly resembled Sakin and the colony there has maintained
close relations
with
the mother planet throughout its history - it never requested
independence
and remains a Sakin colony to this day.
At Cafad (3135 Corridor), a low-tech
human
minor
race was discovered. The Vilani
efforts
to integrate the Cafad humans into their Grand Imperium
progressed slowly.
The world relapsed into barbarism at the onset of the Long Night.
After
centuries of contact with the Third
Imperium,
Cafad has only now started to re-embrace technology.
Igudi (2836 Corridor) discarded most technology during
the Long Night. Its climate is quite hospitable and the
inhabitants grew
to prefer an essentially pastoral existence. Certain native
animals have
been domesticated for food and wool. The populace has shown very
little
inclination to technological advancement since contact with the Third
Imperium
in 68. Interstellar merchants visit only occasionally.
Palama (3240 Corridor) was only recently colonized because
its resources were not detected until the TL15 density survey.
Its dense
tainted atmosphere made it unattractive to ordinary colonists before
this
time.
The Shurgi Main is commercially and psychologically part
of the Imperial Core, in the Vilani cultural area.
