The Asher are a proud species of Saurids with a rich tribal culture. Yheu have been in contact with several space faring societies, especially the Utelle.

The Utelle disclosed their contacts and survey data to the Science Council and of course revealed their own conacts to other species. The Utelle maintained a small contact and trade post.

A Union specialist team of Anthropoloigists was sent to the home-world of the Asher along with Utelle, to bring a GalNet terminal to the Utelle outpost and inform the Utelle there about the Union membership decision.

The Asher merchants and community leaders were informed as well and it turned out the Asher easily understood the Union concept. Much to their delight there was a Maggi Sauron and a Shiss among the Union contact group.

The Asher community leasders expressed their interest in Union membership. A hundred year development plan was agreed upon. The plan was designed to softly raise the techlevel so the Asher could easier adopt and integrate elements of their own culture.

A real global society did not exist but all tribes were for a Union membership. This had the effect that there is no global government. The Asher tribes associoation has hired a planet manager and delegate all planet wide decisions, while retaining local tribal control.
