The <span class="mu-s">Urgi</span> are a race of avian aliens who seemingly live exclusively in space. While they must have had a home planet at some point, unless if they were artificially created like the Hazaar, they are currently adapted to life in space. Their hollow bones and low-gravity adapted bodies are equally as good in microgravity, able to “fly” in an unpowered space habitat as long as it has an internal atmosphere. Similar to Jaxtians and their ability to climb, this is a very valuable trait for space habitation!
Urgi technology seems to be more advanced then one would assume; though it's mostly reliant on scavenged and second-hand purchased ship parts and raw materials from other powers in space. Unlike other factions, the Urgi are very risk adverse and mostly fight by laying traps, using long range weapons, or automated defenses and stealth. This has probably helped keep them from being destroyed by a more aggressive species, like the Esaal, and goes hand in hand with their flight-first avian psychology.
Currently, the Urgi are made up of different factions, competing for resources and territory. Now however, they seem to be competing politically; power will consolidate in one of these various independent groups. With your little “gift”, you can hopefully strategically choose one to support.
The <span class="mu-s">Accord</span> are a group of small pirate fleets, smugglers, space stations, and wealthy individuals who support a collection of rules and practices for survival in space, simply named “the Accord”. This includes rules for treatment of crew members, captured slaves, and even opponents under certain rules of engagement, as well as political thought. This group is most closely aligned with Hegemonic ideology, giving great power to the captains and rulers of the Accord and being strongly associated with traditionalism and advancement-thru-merit. However, it is one of the weaker groups, needing these rules and practices to entice individuals to join instead of just using force.
