The '''Republic of India''', commonly known as '''India''', is a [[Legacy Nation]] comprising the spinward edge of the [[Indian Arm]]. It is the [[Population|second-most populous]] nation and the largest democracy in the [[Orion Arm]]. After its establishment as a federal republic in 1957, after periods of societal upheaval caused by the [[Evacuation Effort]], India's rapidly developing major economy and increasing presence in diplomatic affairs have established it as a [[Potential Superpowers|Potential Superpower]]. It is a [[Great Power]], a [[League of Nations Security Council|Security Council Member]] of the [[League of Nations]], and a founding member of the [[Non-Aligned Movement]].

== History ==

=== Pre-First Scinfaxi War ===
Modern humans arrived on the Indian subcontinent on Earth from Africa no later than 53,000 BCE. Settled life emerged on the subcontinent in the western margins of the Indus river basin around 7,000 BCE, evolving gradually into the Indus Valley Civilisation of 3000 BCE. By 1200 BCE, an archaic form of Sanskrit, an Indo-European language, had diffused into India from the northwest. Its hymns recorded the dawning of Hinduism in India. India's pre-existing Dravidian languages were supplanted in the northern regions. By 400 BCE, caste had emerged within Hinduism, and Buddhism and Jainism had arisen, proclaiming social orders unlinked to heredity. Early political consolidations gave rise to the loose-knit Maurya and Gupta Empires. In South India, the Middle kingdoms exported Dravidian language scripts and religious cultures to the kingdoms of Southeast Asia.

In the early mediaeval era, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism became established on India's southern and western coasts. Muslim armies from Central Asia intermittently overran India's northern plains. The resulting Delhi Sultanate drew northern India into the cosmopolitan networks of mediaeval Islam. In south India, the Vijayanagara Empire created a long-lasting composite Hindu culture. In the Punjab, Sikhism emerged, rejecting institutionalised religion. The Mughal Empire, in 1526, ushered in two centuries of relative peace, leaving a legacy of luminous architecture. Gradually expanding rule of the [[United Kingdom|British]] East India Company followed, turning India into a colonial economy but consolidating its sovereignty. British Crown rule began in 1858. The rights promised to Indians were granted slowly, but technological changes were introduced, and modern ideas of education and public life took root. A pioneering and influential nationalist movement emerged, becoming a major factor toward ending British rule.

=== The Cold War ===
The Republic of India is one of three Great Powers within the [[Local Supercluster]], along with the [[United Centauri Republic]] and the [[Federative Republic of Brazil]]. Its role within Orion astropolitics is defined by its strategic position bordering major translight routes, its emerging status as a major power, and a growing rivalry with Brazil. Its predominant role within the Non-Aligned Movement gives it a great interstellar reach, amplified soft power.

==== '''[[Federative Republic of Brazil]] - Republic of India Tensions''' ====
As a part of an ongoing rivalry between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of India, a series of high-profile freedom of navigation exercises have been conducted by the competing nations in one another's [[IDIZ|IDIZs]].

Both Brazil and India have imposed broad tariffs targeting each other's exports in their ongoing competition to extend their rival IDIZs and free trade zones.

==== [[Mandhatri 85]] ====
The Indian Council of Astrobiology, partnered with their British counterparts, saw hundreds of scientists embark on the Mandhatri 85 expedition in 2285 with the goal of studying the architecture and possible functions of Borehole 814.

The '''Federation of Acadia''', commonly known as '''Acadia''', is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] located in the [[Acadian Expanse]]. A [[Regional Power]], it is both a member of the [[Orion Treaty Organization]] and the [[League of Nations]].

== Etymology ==
The name Acadia derives from the Ancient Greek pastoral utopia of Arcadia, which has celebrated in poetry and art since at least the 3rd century BCE.

== History ==

=== [[Acadian Wars]] ===

The Acadian Wars were a series of interrelated conflicts fought between 2274 to 2283, with minor branches of the fighting continuing into the present day. With roughly 12 separate belligerents, stated aims encompassed wars of independence and ideology together with more limited ethnic and religious fighting combined with several insurgencies. In 2278, an American-led military intervention succeeded in the partial restoration of the Federation government and the concession of several star systems as newly sovereign states. Within the greater [[Cold War]], the conflict saw extensive involvement by the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]], [[German Reich]], and the [[Orion Treaty Organization]].

As outlined in its founding Covenant, its goals include fostering friendly relations among nations, promoting international cooperation, and serving as a central platform for coordinating interstellar action. It currently counts over 500 member states, encompassing nearly all sovereign nations in the [[Orion Arm]]—excluding those in the [[Far Frontier]].

== History ==
Originally founded in 1920 at the Paris Peace Conference to prevent future wars, aggression by the [[Axis Powers]] meant the League had lost much of its credibility by the 1930s. It played little role during the [[First Scinfaxi War]], but was revitalized in 1962 following the [[French Crisis]]. This new iteration inherited some of the League's traditions and assets, but was largely restructured as an organization.

Throughout the 21st century, [[Cold War]] politics often paralyzed the League’s decision-making. It intervened primarily in conflicts that threatened the stability of [[Scinfaxi Quarantine Zones|Quarantine Zones]] or involved the [[Scinfaxi]].

At the dawn of the space race and the interstellar age, the League was briefly entrusted with oversight over major components of the [[Centauri Program]]. As colonization efforts expanded exponentially, its role evolved into the [[Sanctuary Worlds Program|Sanctuary Worlds program]]. Hundreds of [[League of Nations Mandates]] were established across the Orion Arm, disproportionately settled by the diaspora of refugees left stateless following the First Scinfaxi War.

The League was heavily active on Earth during the final years of the [[Evacuation of Earth|Evacuation]] and the [[Second Scinfaxi War]]. Many Mandates became critical nodes in interstellar supply chains, but were left economically devastated and politically adrift during the [[Interstellar Dark Age]]. As translight travel and communication were gradually restored, tensions emerged between the League, its superpower backers, and former Mandates-turned-independent states—culminating in devastating conflicts such as the [[Solar Wars]].

=== The Cold War ===

These conflicts forced a major restructure of the League, and membership has surged since the 2230s as [[Non-Legacy Nation|non-legacy nations]] have joined. In 2249, many of the Orion Arm’s [[Astropolitics#Great_Powers|Great Powers]] were granted a permanent seat on the [[League of Nations Security Council]], joining the [[United States of America|United States]], [[German Reich]], [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]], and the [[Empire of Japan]].

==== Peacekeeping ====

As part of League of Nations role in maintaining international peace and security it maintains multiple ongoing peacekeeping missions made up of representatives of the member states. One such operation is the ongoing [[Bolivarian Republic of Callao|League of Nations Mission on Callao]] comprised of 17 contributing members mainly from the [[Orion Treaty Organization]] but also including representatives from the [[United Centauri Republic]] and [[Democratic Republic of Vega]].

The '''Commonwealth of Australasia''', commonly known as '''Australasia''', is a [[Legacy Nation]] situated in the [[Sea of Clouds]]. It is a [[Regional Power]], and is a member of the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], the [[Commonwealth of Nations]], and [[League of Nations]].

== History ==

=== Pre-First Scinfaxi War ===
The earliest evidence of human habitation of the islands on Earth that would become Australasia dates back to at least 48,000 BCE during the last glacial period. By the time of [[United Kingdom|British]] settlement, thousands of languages were spoken across these islands - boasting some of the oldest living cultures in the world.

British colonization of these islands began in 1788 with the establishment of the penal colony of New South Wales on the continent of Australia. By the mid-19th century, most of the continent of Australia had been explored by European settlers and five additional self-governing British colonies were established, each gaining responsible government by 1890. Spurred on by prosperity from gold rushes and agricultural industries, the Australian colonies federated in 1901, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. The British Territory of Papua was ceded to Australia in 1902 and, following the end of the Great War in 1918, so too was the entirety of New Guinea.

By contrast, the Aotearoa islands were the last large habitable land on Earth to be settled by humans (1280 - 1350 CE). The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi on Aotearoa between Māori and British leaders was followed in 1841 with the creation of the British colony of New Zealand. Subsequently, a series of conflicts between the colonial government and Māori tribes resulted in the alienation and confiscation of large amounts of Māori land. New Zealand became a dominion in 1907.

=== The Cold War ===

==== Anti-Piracy Action ====
During an anti-piracy action within the [[Calypso Deeps]], the Australasian destroyer HMAS Te Tūāpapa fired upon several pirate vessels, destroying three. Whilst this was confirmed by the Australasian government, they reject the initial reporting of the vessels being affiliated with [[Black Mask]].

Federation of Acadia

The '''Federation of Acadia''', commonly known as '''Acadia''', is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] located in the [[Acadian Expanse]]. A [[Regional Power]], it is both a member of the [[Orion Treaty Organization]] and the [[League of Nations]].

== Etymology ==
The name Acadia derives from the Ancient Greek pastoral utopia of Arcadia, which has celebrated in poetry and art since at least the 3rd century BCE.

== History ==

=== [[Acadian Wars]] ===

The Acadian Wars were a series of interrelated conflicts fought between 2274 to 2283, with minor branches of the fighting continuing into the present day. With roughly 12 separate belligerents, stated aims encompassed wars of independence and ideology together with more limited ethnic and religious fighting combined with several insurgencies. In 2278, an American-led military intervention succeeded in the partial restoration of the Federation government and the concession of several star systems as newly sovereign states. Within the greater [[Cold War]], the conflict saw extensive involvement by the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]], [[German Reich]], and the [[Orion Treaty Organization]].

Astropolitics

2025-11-29T20:48:10Z

Blockaderunner10:

'''Astropolitics''' (used interchangeably with '''Interstellar Geopolitics''' or just '''Geopolitics''') examines how the interstellar geography of the [[Orion Arm]] influences nations and their interactions. It serves as a framework for analyzing foreign policy, using astrographical factors to interpret, explain, and anticipate political behavior on an interstellar scale. Heavily rooted in the concept of political power, this field of study provides a foundation for analyzing nations at the international level.

In the Cold War-dominated final years of the [[Timeline|23rd century]], astropolitics is defined in near totality by the four-way struggle between the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], [[Axis Powers]], [[Communist Interstellar]], and [[Co-Prosperity Sphere]], with non-participant nations largely consolidated into the [[Non-Aligned Movement]]. These interstellar blocs are led by the [[United States of America|United States]], [[German Reich]], [[Soviet Union]], and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] respectively, the four superpowers, and made up of lesser Great Powers, Regional Powers, Middle Powers, and Small Powers.

While nation-states remain the primary actors driving astropolitics, an increasing percentage of countries are now considered satellite states to varying degrees within the larger strategic competition. [[Conflicts|Proxy wars]] are widespread across the Orion Arm, rooted in local conflicts fueled and escalated by the interests of the superpowers or nations within their respective blocs. The increased interconnectivity across the Arm also enables actions taken by [[Organizations|megacorporations]], [[Organizations|non-state entities]], and sometimes even [[Notable Figures|individuals]] to potentially shape astropolitics, igniting chains of events that can escalate far beyond their original scope.

As a consequence, the traditional state-centric order of the post-evacuation era is evolving. International organizations like the [[League of Nations]], megacorporations, and non-state actors increasingly compete with nation-states for influence, a development often described as a form of [[new-medievalism]]. Many megacorporations, and some non-state actors, command greater resources than middle or small powers, further blurring the lines that once clearly defined interstellar politics.

=Superpowers=
'''See Also:''' [[Potential Superpowers]]

'''Superpower''' describes a sovereign state that holds a dominant position, characterized by the ability to exert influence and project power across the Orion Arm. They excel in every component of state power: '''demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural strength''', as well as diplomatic and soft power. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers. While other states are able to project power across the Orion Arm, the influence of the '''superpowers''' is so significant that no major action '''can''' be taken by the international community without first considering their positions.

These include; extensive astropolitical influence, significant military capabilities with interstellar operational reach, a robust and diversified economy, and advanced technological prowess. Strong diplomatic and cultural influence is also considered. In recognition of the paramount role that interstellar territories play modern power dynamics, the number of undisputed territorial claims on star systems is also considered.

'''See Also:''' [[Potential Great Powers]]

'''Great power''' describes a sovereign state that maintains a major, sustained capacity to influence astropolitics and project power across multiple regions of the Orion Arm. Great powers possess broad capabilities across the core components of state power: demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural, reinforced by effective diplomacy and soft power. Within their spheres of interest, great powers can easily shape outcomes, but generally require partners to coerce or deter a superpower. In the modern phase of the Cold War, they form the backbone of major alliances and act as principal balancers within the international system.

'''See Also:''' [[Regional Alliances & Coalitions]]

'''Regional power''' describes a sovereign state whose influence and ability to project power are concentrated primarily within a specific region of the Orion Arm. Regional powers may not possess the full range of capabilities of great powers, but they maintain significant strength across major components of state power. Within their region, they can exercise coercive influence over neighbors, though their ability to act independently on the Arm-wide stage is limited. In the Cold War system, regional powers are often aligned with superpowers or great powers, though some have entered into independent coalitions. They serve as pivotal actors in local contests and as critical partners within larger alliances.

= Middle Powers =
'''Middle power''' describes a sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its immediate region, yet sufficient resources and stability to exert meaningful influence in international affairs. Middle powers do not rival great or regional powers in comprehensive strength, but may maintain niche advantages such as economic specialization, diplomatic networks, or cultural influence that allow them to shape outcomes disproportionate to their size. They may provide valuable contributions to military, political, research, or economic coalitions, and frequently act as mediators in disputes between larger states. In the Cold War system, middle powers are essential secondary actors: too powerful to be ignored outright, yet unlikely to be decisive on their own.

= Small Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Shared Sovereignty]]

'''Small power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its own borders and little influence in shaping events outside its immediate astrography. Small powers typically lack the comprehensive resources of larger states, but may retain modest strengths in specific areas such as commerce, technology, or cultural output. Their security and prosperity often depend on alignment with stronger powers, participation in international institutions, or integration into regional coalitions or systems. In the Cold War system, small powers are frequently the objects of competition between larger states, yet they can exercise agency by leveraging geography, alliances, or specialized capabilities to secure their interests.

= Frontier Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Far Frontier]], [[List of Far Frontier Systems By Population]]

'''Frontier power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state located on the outer reaches of the Orion Arm, beyond the established cores of interstellar civilization. They are typically isolated, with smaller populations, limited economic strength, and restricted capacity for interconnectivity. The influence of frontier powers rarely extends beyond their own boundaries, and they exert little to no impact on astropolitics within the Arm as a whole. In many cases, they are only partially sovereign, with authority shared, or contested, by corporate or other interests that can operate without meaningful oversight. Historically ignored by larger states and markets alike, frontier powers are beginning to draw attention as megacorporations seek unregulated opportunities. In the Cold War, they represent a new and growing theater of competition.

== Overview ==
''See Also:'' [[Special Use Sector]]

A sector designated an '''interstellar defense identification zone (IDIZ)''' is an area of space in which a nation attempts to identify, locate, and manage starship traffic to protect its national interests. Their boundaries are declared unilaterally and may extend well beyond a country's territory into neighboring systems or beyond. Their implications are not defined by the [[League of Nations]] or any international treaty.

=== Notable Examples ===

* IDIZ Sol
* IDIZ Centauri
* IDIZ Vega
* IDIZ New Canaan

It is a [[Regional Power]], a member of the [[League of Nations]], [[African Union]], and a key member of the [[Solar Treaty Organization]].

== History ==

=== [[Second Solar War]] ===
In 2229, what would become known as the Second Solar War began with an invasion of the Sirius Federation by the Commonwealth of Vega. Joining Vega were the Republic of Vesta, United States of Juno, Silvanus Colonial Republic, Barrosa Colonial Republic, Jarandi Colonial Republic, and Kassar-Antrali Colonial Republic. Joining Sirius were the nascent Solar Treaty Organization members of the United Centauri Republic and United Provinces of Tau Ceti, as well as the Apollo Federation. Although the war initially went in Vega's favor, meeting a high-water mark in 2231 with the destruction of the bulk of the United Centauri Republic fleet in the Battle of Cygnus, the war would be brought to a decisive end that same year by the intervention of the German Reich.

Orion Arm

[[File:OrionCygnus.jpg.jpg|400px|thumb|The Orion Arm]]
The '''Orion Arm''', also known as the '''Orion Region''', '''Local Arm''', or '''Orion Spur''', is the common designation for the extent of human exploration and settlement across interstellar space. The name derives from the Orion–Cygnus Arm of the [[Milky Way Galaxy]], though it refers only to a small segment of that spiral structure encompassing several tens of thousands of stars. Most remain barren and uncharted, but [[Earth]]’s location in a rare concentration of habitable worlds has supported the rise of [[Astropolitics|hundreds of nations]] across thousands of settled systems. Interstellar civilization depends on '''[[Translight|translight lanes]]''', naturally occurring features of spacetime that permit faster-than-light passage between gravity wells. In modern usage, “''Orion Arm''” often serves as shorthand for human civilization itself.

The outer regions of the Orion Arm are known collectively as the [[Frontier]], with the most remote limits of exploration and settlement described as the [[Far Frontier]]. Compared to the core regions, systems in the Frontier remain less integrated, with development and infrastructure occurring unevenly and conditions often marked by patches of lawlessness.

[[Exobiotic Life|Exobiotic life]] throughout the Orion Arm is consistently evolutionarily simple compared to Terran species, leading to the eradication of native ecosystems during most terraforming operations. Hybrid animals represent an unexpected consequence, species from Earth that have adapted to alien environments in ways that can dramatically alter physiology and behavior. Conditions in the Frontier differ, with fewer habitable worlds but more complex native exospecies. As of 2285, only one instance of sentient extraterrestrial life has been discovered, located in the Far Frontier and primitive relative to humanity, incapable of interstellar travel.

The '''Local Supercluster''' is a geopolitical region corresponding roughly to those star systems charted during the first generation of interstellar travel. It extends outward with [[Sol Planetary System|Sol]] at its approximate center, outward to the [[Sea of Clouds]] on its trailing edge, the [[Deutscher Wald]] to its coreward, and the [[New Canaan Corridor]] to its spinward. It is a Major Region, with 10 constituent regions and 18 subclusters.

A great diversity of [[Legacy Nation|legacy]] and [[Non-Legacy Nation|non-legacy nations]] exists in the Local Supercluster, with [[Republic of India|India]], [[Federative Republic of Brazil|Brazil]], [[United Centauri Republic|Alpha Centauri]], [[Italian Social Republic|Italy]] and [[Vega Planetary System|Vega]] the most populous. Its economies range from the very poor, to extremely wealthy, and the region has experienced both periods of relative peace and conflict.

As the epicenter of the colonization effort, the history of the region dates back to the [[First Scinfaxi War]]. The [[Solar Subcluster|Solar]], [[Apollo Subcluster|Apollo]] and [[Draconis Subcluster|Draconis]] subclusters were the very first to be charted, and colonies like [[United Provinces of Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]], [[Sirius Federation|Sirius]], [[Commonwealth of Vega|Vega]] and [[United States of Juno|Juno]] later became some of the first independent colonies in the [[Orion Arm]]. The [[Astropolitics|astropolitical]] importance of the region diminished following the [[Evacuation of Earth]], but was later recognized throughout the late 22nd and early 23rd centuries.

Astropolitics

Blockaderunner10:

'''Astropolitics''' (used interchangeably with '''Interstellar Geopolitics''' or just '''Geopolitics''') examines how the interstellar geography of the [[Orion Arm]] influences nations and their interactions. It serves as a framework for analyzing foreign policy, using astrographical factors to interpret, explain, and anticipate political behavior on an interstellar scale. Heavily rooted in the concept of political power, this field of study provides a foundation for analyzing nations at the international level.

In the Cold War-dominated final years of the [[Timeline|23rd century]], astropolitics is defined in near totality by the four-way struggle between the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], [[Axis Powers]], [[Communist Interstellar]], and [[Co-Prosperity Sphere]], with non-participant nations largely consolidated into the [[Non-Aligned Movement]]. These interstellar blocs are led by the [[United States of America|United States]], [[German Reich]], [[Soviet Union]], and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] respectively, the four superpowers, and made up of lesser Great Powers, Regional Powers, Middle Powers, and Small Powers.

While nation-states remain the primary actors driving astropolitics, an increasing percentage of countries are now considered satellite states to varying degrees within the larger strategic competition. [[Conflicts|Proxy wars]] are widespread across the Orion Arm, rooted in local conflicts fueled and escalated by the interests of the superpowers or nations within their respective blocs. The increased interconnectivity across the Arm also enables actions taken by [[Organizations|megacorporations]], [[Organizations|non-state entities]], and sometimes even [[Notable Figures|individuals]] to potentially shape astropolitics, igniting chains of events that can escalate far beyond their original scope.

As a consequence, the traditional state-centric order of the post-evacuation era is evolving. International organizations like the [[League of Nations]], megacorporations, and non-state actors increasingly compete with nation-states for influence, a development often described as a form of [[new-medievalism]]. Many megacorporations, and some non-state actors, command greater resources than middle or small powers, further blurring the lines that once clearly defined interstellar politics.

=Superpowers=
'''Superpower''' describes a sovereign state that holds a dominant position, characterized by the ability to exert influence and project power across the Orion Arm. They excel in every component of state power: '''demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural strength''', as well as diplomatic and soft power. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers. While other states are able to project power across the Orion Arm, the influence of the '''superpowers''' is so significant that no major action '''can''' be taken by the international community without first considering their positions.

These include; extensive astropolitical influence, significant military capabilities with interstellar operational reach, a robust and diversified economy, and advanced technological prowess. Strong diplomatic and cultural influence is also considered. In recognition of the paramount role that interstellar territories play modern power dynamics, the number of undisputed territorial claims on star systems is also considered.

The '''Kurugallu Civilization''' was a civilization that existed on the planet of [[Kurugallu (planet)|Kurugallu]] in the [[Urgulu Planetary System]].

= Etymology =
Due to their discovery on the planet of Kurugallu and the lack of information on any endonyms, they are named after the planet on which their remains were discovered.

= Extent =
Kurugallu civilization was spread across thousands of boreholes and a network of tunnels and chambers within. As the history of the Kurugallu progressed, their population would bury deeper into the planet.

= Boreholes =
Kurugallu tunnel entrances are marked by intentionally designed boreholes on the surface. These boreholes are usually over 1 km in diameter with a ring of structures along their sides. These boreholes are made up of thousands of levels and tunnels providing access to chambers, some of which are as large as modern stadiums.

== Borehole 814 ==
''Main article: Borehole 814''

Borehole-814, also known as the “Gateway to Hell,” is a quarantined borehole discovered in 2279 located in the Northern Wastes just beyond the 38th parallel on a salt flat. Borehole-814 is unique for being surrounded by a perfectly circular field of tall, black, jagged spikes up to 323 meters in height jutting out of the ground. There have been many reports of humans experiencing negative physiological symptoms from being in the presence of these spikes. Scientists believe that these spikes were made by the Kurugallu to serve as a warning to others.

= Discovery and History of Excavation =
Remains of the Kurugallu civilization were first discovered during the early interstellar age when human explorers arrived in the [[Well of Embers]].

= Biology =
The Kurugallu were an extraterrestrial, carbon-based species dependent on oxygen, nutrients, and water to survive. The existence of art in the form of paintings, sculptures, and reliefs suggest that the Kurugallu were a sentient species and research shows that they understood the concept of mortality.

In regards to physical appearance, the Kurugallu looked most like a cross between Terran termites and crustaceans and were roughly the size of an adolescent human. They moved around on six pairs of legs, some of which ended in claws such as a large front pair that could be manipulated as tools and/or weapons. Their bodies were divided into four major segments with between eight and 23 secondary appendages attached that gave the Kurugallu a tactile sense of environment as well as motor controls. They additionally possessed antennae with delicate sensory bristles that allowed them to detect minute changes in the air as well as vibrations that would be unnoticeable to humans.

Research suggests that they had senses superior to that of humans, though they perceived sounds, smells, and touch in different ways. They also had compound eyes which provided them a wide field of view and low-light vision, though they could not perceive some wavelengths that humans can.

= Culture & Society =
There is an academic debate over whether or not the Kurugallu were an individualist society or if they had some form of “gestalt consciousness.” While it’s known that the Kurugallu operated in a communal manner in many aspects, such as working together in communities, archaeological discoveries of paintings, statues, and reliefs carved into the halls of ceremonial chambers indicate that they had some sense of personal identity and socially transmitted knowledge.

Kurugallu society also existed in a state of “perpetual total mobilization,” able to seamlessly shift between militaristic, expansionist, economic, and scientific pursuits as circumstances demanded, described by some researchers as “like a machine shifting gears.”

== “Caste System” ==
Variance in Kurugallu biology suggests that their society had some form of a “caste system.” While this term is not a perfect representation of the system, it is the closest description that humans have. Thousands of strains have been discovered, with differences in physical ability and intellectual acuity between each one. While parts of this structure were artificially imposed and manipulated by the Kurugallu as their culture and technology advanced, such as the ability of one strain to transition to another through artificially-assisted metamorphosis, there was almost certainly some kind of naturally existing hierarchical framework.

Archaeologists have grouped these strains into five overarching castes: labor, soldier, scholar, priest, and reproductive, based on their roles within Kurugallu society. It’s important to note that these terms are the closest human terms for these roles and they did not neatly fit into the human concept of these roles.

= Technology =
The Kurugallu were technologically advanced, with extensive genetic modification and cybernetics capabilities. Mechanical augmentation was common, though likely extremely painful and permanent, with some remains showing signs of chipping and subsequent puncturing of internal organs. Some of these augmentations were embedded deep inside of the body, making removal destructive to the bearer. There is ongoing academic debate on whether or not this was due to design flaws or a deliberate means of control. Additionally, they extensively used genetic engineering to modify members of their own species to perform specific tasks, though some of these processes resulted in strains that were unable to survive in a natural state. They've also been shown to have utilized biological computers specialized for complex problem-solving and logic, invented highly complex machines. It's been confirmed that they were a spacefaring species.

= Government =
While the Kurugallu did not have a government in a conventional sense, each of their castes had “quartermasters” that collectively guided the Kurugallu through mass communication and control. These quartermasters came from distinct strains of Kurugallu, one born in ten million, who had heightened instincts and awareness.

= Chronology =
It’s believed that the Kurugallu are not indigenous to the planet for which they are named due to a lack of genetic similarities between their remains and the native flora and fauna of the planet. This is supported by the boreholes being only a few thousand years old and all carved within a short period of time. Paintings, sculptures, and relief carvings are the only records of Kurugallu history that exist.

== Early History ==
The first Kurugallu communities emerged on their homeworld and progressed through a series of ages loosely analogous to the agricultural and industrial revolutions coupled with a series of events that archaeologists struggle to categorize.

== Golden Age ==
At some point in Kurugallu history, there was a kind of “transformation” or “rebirth” that resulted in a “golden age” of development and expansion.

== Interstellar Colonization ==
Towards the end of their golden age, the Kurugallu are believed to have settled on their eponymous planet, sometime between 600 and 2,000 years ago. Within two centuries of their arrival, the Kurugallu in the Well of Embers began to experience a gradual decline.

== Decline ==
Kurugallu remains show gradual degradation in the sophistication and ubiquity of cybernetics alongside signs of systemic violence. These findings are backed by discoveries of disposed remains from this era that suggest Kurugallu society was slowly unravelling amidst widespread disorder and desperation.

= Collapse & Extinction =
Archaeological evidence suggests that the Kurugallu went extinct as a result of rapid societal reorganizations across its castes, resulting in either mass death or deformation due to the constant artificial metamorphosis. Some theorize that this came about due to a lack of quartermasters among their population, either from attempts to create more or the result of their absence and resulting lack of guidance. It was after these events that their birthing chambers and technologies critical to the artificial metamorphosis process began to experience widespread failure. According to most researchers, a behavioral sink manifested within the Kurugallu in the aftermath, occurring across three stages A, B, and C.

== Stage A ==
The first stage of the Kurugallu’s collapse and extinction saw a new social order violently emerge as the greater caste system broke apart. Exoskeletons from this era show an absence of both cybernetics and genetic modification as well as extensive physical harm such as fractures, deep lacerations, and crude repairs. It was during this time that traditional burial ceremonies and processes were abandoned in favor of simply dropping the corpses down the hollow cores of each borehole. Additionally, the higher levels of the boreholes seem to have been abandoned with the Kurugallu concentrating in isolated clusters inside of smaller chambers deeper underground. Aspects of society continued to break down as the Kurugallu began to behave more violently towards one another.

== Stage B ==
In the second stage, the different castes began to behave more erratically and self-destructive. The soldier and labor castes began to experience periods of extreme lethargy followed by periods of equally extreme violence, even within their own ranks, which resulted in widespread death of the population. At the same time, the strains of the reproductive caste which were able to move around independently retreated further into the boreholes, attended to by what remained of the priest caste. Communities were formed around the remaining fertile Kurugallu, existing on the edges of the main host. While they were mostly ignored, they occasionally attacked rival communities, presumably to seek better nesting sites. The scholar caste began to isolate themselves to small groups, if they were in any at all, around the vast machines that now lay abandoned. Some of the scholar caste from this period have also been found on the surface of the planet near the crane structures. It is believed that very few of the scholars survived stage B and that they were the first of the Kurugallu to become extinct.

== Stage C ==
In the third stage, the Kurugallu’s automated food sources which they had relied on to feed themselves began to fail, triggering mass starvation and death across what remained of the species. The survivors attempted to migrate once more, moving around in dense living colonies of tens of thousands due to a developed dependence on social clustering. These migrations through the Kurugallu’s tunnel systems resulted in further deaths due to crowding and stampeding. When groups of Kurugallu confronted each other during these migrations, extreme violence ensued between the two, causing further population loss. This period also saw cannibalism become a more common practice, as victorious Kurugallu colonies would consume the defeated for sustenance. In situations where these groups broke into chambers housing what remained of the reproductive caste, they would consume the young, even those in larval form. This resulted in the reproductive caste beginning to direct aggression towards their own young as a result of these acts of aggression, driving newborn and immature Kurugallu out into the labyrinths where they were unable to survive. The increased aggression that resulted from declining access to food, resources, and increased exhaustion and stress culminated in the Kurugallu’s extinction.

= Reported Strange Occurrences =
Stations and outposts, particularly those constructed on the edges of boreholes, have reported strange occurrences - especially in their deeper levels: damaged or missing sensors and recording equipment, detection of strange vibrations, and dozens of recordings of biological sounds resembling sizzling grease.

The '''Kurugallu Civilization''' was a civilization that existed on the planet of [[Kurugallu (planet)|Kurugallu]] in the [[Urgulu Planetary System]].

= Etymology =
Due to their discovery on the planet of Kurugallu and the lack of information on any endonyms, they are named after the planet on which their remains were discovered.

= Extent =
Kurugallu civilization was spread across thousands of boreholes and a network of tunnels and chambers within. As the history of the Kurugallu progressed, their population would bury deeper into the planet.

= Boreholes =
Kurugallu tunnel entrances are marked by intentionally designed boreholes on the surface. These boreholes are usually over 1 km in diameter with a ring of structures along their sides. These boreholes are made up of thousands of levels and tunnels providing access to chambers, some of which are as large as modern stadiums.

== Borehole 814 ==
''Main article: Borehole 814''

Borehole-814, also known as the “Gateway to Hell,” is a quarantined borehole discovered in 2279 located in the Northern Wastes just beyond the 38th parallel on a salt flat. Borehole-814 is unique for being surrounded by a perfectly circular field of tall, black, jagged spikes up to 323 meters in height jutting out of the ground. There have been many reports of humans experiencing negative physiological symptoms from being in the presence of these spikes. Scientists believe that these spikes were made by the Kurugallu to serve as a warning to others.

= Discovery and History of Excavation =
Remains of the Kurugallu civilization were first discovered during the early interstellar age when human explorers arrived in the [[Well of Embers]].

= Biology =
The Kurugallu were an extraterrestrial, carbon-based species dependent on oxygen, nutrients, and water to survive. The existence of art in the form of paintings, sculptures, and reliefs suggest that the Kurugallu were a sentient species and research shows that they understood the concept of mortality.

In regards to physical appearance, the Kurugallu looked most like a cross between Terran termites and crustaceans and were roughly the size of an adolescent human. They moved around on six pairs of legs, some of which ended in claws such as a large front pair that could be manipulated as tools and/or weapons. Their bodies were divided into four major segments with between eight and 23 secondary appendages attached that gave the Kurugallu a tactile sense of environment as well as motor controls. They additionally possessed antennae with delicate sensory bristles that allowed them to detect minute changes in the air as well as vibrations that would be unnoticeable to humans.

Research suggests that they had senses superior to that of humans, though they perceived sounds, smells, and touch in different ways. They also had compound eyes which provided them a wide field of view and low-light vision, though they could not perceive some wavelengths that humans can.

= Culture & Society =
There is an academic debate over whether or not the Kurugallu were an individualist society or if they had some form of “gestalt consciousness.” While it’s known that the Kurugallu operated in a communal manner in many aspects, such as working together in communities, archaeological discoveries of paintings, statues, and reliefs carved into the halls of ceremonial chambers indicate that they had some sense of personal identity and socially transmitted knowledge.

Kurugallu society also existed in a state of “perpetual total mobilization,” able to seamlessly shift between militaristic, expansionist, economic, and scientific pursuits as circumstances demanded, described by some researchers as “like a machine shifting gears.”

== “Caste System” ==
Variance in Kurugallu biology suggests that their society had some form of a “caste system.” While this term is not a perfect representation of the system, it is the closest description that humans have. Thousands of strains have been discovered, with differences in physical ability and intellectual acuity between each one. While parts of this structure were artificially imposed and manipulated by the Kurugallu as their culture and technology advanced, such as the ability of one strain to transition to another through artificially-assisted metamorphosis, there was almost certainly some kind of naturally existing hierarchical framework.

Archaeologists have grouped these strains into five overarching castes: labor, soldier, scholar, priest, and reproductive, based on their roles within Kurugallu society. It’s important to note that these terms are the closest human terms for these roles and they did not neatly fit into the human concept of these roles.

= Technology =
The Kurugallu were technologically advanced, with extensive genetic modification and cybernetics capabilities. Mechanical augmentation was common, though likely extremely painful and permanent, with some remains showing signs of chipping and subsequent puncturing of internal organs. Some of these augmentations were embedded deep inside of the body, making removal destructive to the bearer. There is ongoing academic debate on whether or not this was due to design flaws or a deliberate means of control. Additionally, they extensively used genetic engineering to modify members of their own species to perform specific tasks, though some of these processes resulted in strains that were unable to survive in a natural state. They've also been shown to have utilized biological computers specialized for complex problem-solving and logic, invented highly complex machines. It's been confirmed that they were a spacefaring species.

= Government =
While the Kurugallu did not have a government in a conventional sense, each of their castes had “quartermasters” that collectively guided the Kurugallu through mass communication and control. These quartermasters came from distinct strains of Kurugallu, one born in ten million, who had heightened instincts and awareness.

= Chronology =
It’s believed that the Kurugallu are not indigenous to the planet for which they are named due to a lack of genetic similarities between their remains and the native flora and fauna of the planet. This is supported by the boreholes being only a few thousand years old and all carved within a short period of time. Paintings, sculptures, and relief carvings are the only records of Kurugallu history that exist.

== Early History ==
The first Kurugallu communities emerged on their homeworld and progressed through a series of ages loosely analogous to the agricultural and industrial revolutions coupled with a series of events that archaeologists struggle to categorize.

== Golden Age ==
At some point in Kurugallu history, there was a kind of “transformation” or “rebirth” that resulted in a “golden age” of development and expansion.

== Interstellar Colonization ==
Towards the end of their golden age, the Kurugallu are believed to have settled on their eponymous planet, sometime between 600 and 2,000 years ago. Within two centuries of their arrival, the Kurugallu in the Well of Embers began to experience a gradual decline.

== Decline ==
Kurugallu remains show gradual degradation in the sophistication and ubiquity of cybernetics alongside signs of systemic violence.
