The Sauru'u could be considered fairly "New", since they've only had space travel for 300 years. However, as they were highly advanced compared to the other races in their home system, they quickly seized it. Due to the fast Sauru'u reproduction rate, they managed to build a sizable population throughout their system.

That's another thing about the Sauru'u I'll need to throw on. The planets surrounding their homeworld had a dozen races of intelligent lifeforms, though due to the Sauru'u predatory nature, they were either driven to extinction or critical endangerment months after their initial contact.

That works out pretty well timeline-wise for me. I planned on the centralization of the Rim to have occurred a century or two ago. So it could've easily been an incursion into the Rim by the Sauru'u that lead to the Rimworlders realizing a central government that actually does things would be necessary for their safety.

So Sovereign, how would Zedevic activity be looked upon in Rimspace?[/quote]

Same as anyone else, really. So long as they don't go breaking any laws or being assholes they're welcome in the Rim. I do have a question; how exactly do they speak? To other species, I mean. I can't find it in your NS (though I may just be overlooking it).
