They are one of the earlier races encountered by the Terrans as they expanded outwards after discovering warp drive technology. Few records remain of their pre-contact civilisation, either in Ascendancy archives or on their homeworld of Urgholme - the Ascendancy had little concern for the preservation of such things in their rapid early expansion. While Urgs today do have some distinct cultural elements, such as a love of physical competition, it is not known whether there is a connection between these practices and their pre-contact roots. The Urgs have thoroughly homogenized into the Ascendancy, and can be found anywhere in that Faction's domain. |

| - | Urgs have a reputation for being quarrelsome and enjoying combat, but quick to submit to the orders of those that they consider to be an authority figure. They enjoy participating in military activities with a bit of pomp and ceremony, particularly when being observed by superiors. Within their species, they value honours and medals very highly as symbols of status, and have a heightened (if fragile) sense of pride. | + | [{{ :species:urg_glaring_byrobdavies.jpg?300|<html><font color=black>Urgs are a robust and powerfully physical species.</font></html>}}]Urgs have a reputation for being quarrelsome and enjoying combat, but quick to submit to the orders of those that they consider to be an authority figure.

| Urg culture promotes physical challenges and competitions, and the celebration of others who participate. Foot races, sports competitions and widely publicized trials of endurance, strength and stamina are common in areas where there is a significant Urg population, and accomplished athletes can garner considerable followings and status. These competitions are open to all species, and tend to be seen as good for morale and promoting a healthy sense of competition by local leadership in areas where they are established. Shortly after the second Ascendancy-Dominion War, an Urg-led research group operating in the Grus sector uncovered a compendium of Pre-Fall Terran team sports, which was circulated widely and several ball games became incredibly popular. | Urg culture promotes physical challenges and competitions, and the celebration of others who participate.
