The Taurgit Collective is the remnant of what was the former Taurgit civilization. It is currently based on Ishanoth, in the Klemunt System.

Society

The Collective is basically an assortment of clans, each with its own area of technological expertise. Certain clans are deemed more important, either due to personal fortunes, glory or amassed knowledge, and therefore have better positions of power. There is no slavery in the collective of clans, as every hand was needed for the Taurgit to survive their exile. Certain clans might choose to be clients(vassals) of bigger clans, with these respresenting the smaller ones on government matters.

Government

The collective of clans is run by an assembly, with representatives of each clan (that chooses to send one instead of being clients to other clans). Issues are resolved by votes. There is a leader of the assembly, but he/she doesn't wield true power over the others, except in extreme emergencies.

Territory

Planet Ishanoth, the current home planet of the Taurgit. A mostly desert world, with all of the usual features associated with that kind of planet: sand storms, blistering heat near the equator and difficulty in finding water. Its saving grace is the rather plentiful mineral deposits situated well below the surface.

Planet Siallag, the gas giant of the system. It has a mining facility on its orbit, used for mining hydrogen and helium.

Draurt is an arctic world which has until now seen mild mining activity.

Razei and Ullakash are the fringe worlds of the system. The former is also arctic while the later is totally barren. Both are being used as staging area for ships and as listening posts for monitoring the system.

Outside of the Klemunt System the Taurgit have frontier colonies on two star systems: Ortekeng System and Draff System. Ortekeng has a habitable jungle world, which until now has seen just the barest of colonies founded on its surface, pending the completion of Ishanoth's orbital shipyards, when a concentrated effort at colonization will be possible due to huge colony ships.
