Speirei Conclaves

The Speirei Conclaves are a loose, mostly Oortian habitat federation discovered by the Oortian Community in deep Gamma 1902, following which relations have been mostly long-distance but amicable. Consisting entirely of Speirei, a species of four armed primates with a highly eusocial organization, their society was mostly organized around small scale collectives with populations in hundreds to thousands. Upon their discovery, the Speirei had occupied a region approximately 4.1 light-years across and 2,100 lightyears north of Qhevak, with most living in small, asteroid based Bernal Sphere style colonies with a population in the low thousands. The majority of the conclaves had a technological level not greatly past the information age, with a lack of large scale organizational structures and hyperlocal collectivism resulting in both slow technological progress and high societal stability. Upon first contact with explorers, many Speirei were initially fearful regarding both the potential threat of invasion and the possible disruption to their society from introduction of new technologies. Many would become quick adopters of nanofabrication, however, as it allowed for great improvements in small scale manufacturing possibilities.
