Union member species

Union Species

This is an old term that has been discontinued to be used at around 5000 OTT. It denotes, describes a biological condition, aspect of a Union Society. While Union Citizens still find the "Species assocation" Or simply the term 'Species' as part of their CITI. The term Union Species has officially been replaced by 'Union Member Society' It reflects the fact that Union citizens of all species may be part of a particular society. Very few Union species remain "pure" in terms of society. For example there are Shiss, Shail , Nul that are born on Earth and insist on being labeled Terrans. While there are Terrans on Shiss worlds, Pertharian worlds etc. Union Colonies are inn general offered to groups and not species. Even the Camogi or the Bandrupo. the Eduk or other unique life forms consider themselves Citizens and societies rather than species. The only time a species is termed that way is when the species is outside Union. If a species has applied for Union membership and the PUMA process is still ongoing.
