UAS - Union Astrographical Society

The Union Astrographical Society is a semi government entity of the United Stars of the Galaxies. It started out in 2229 (OTT) as a civilian non government entity comprising of astrologists of the founding member civilizations to get to know each other, to compare research, star catalogs and astrographical data and language.

The society begun to have annual meetings and each time a new member joined (that had astrographical data or astronomers) their astronomers were invited.

The UAS collected and collects all astrographical data both from archives of members as well as from new exploration.

In 4037 OTT the Assembly made the UAS the official astrographical endity (Civilian) of the Union and approved partial funding.

The UAS still maintains its Society status (Board members are elected by society members and membership is by invitation only.) But it also operates a UAS Data and Catalog center on Pluribus with over 40,000 employees.

It is not the only astrographical organization within the Union but has becomne the most important and official one.
