== Historical Origins ==

=== The Uplift of Terra Prime ===

The Ursids evolved from Terra ~~Prime’s~~ diverse bear population, ranging from the mountainous habitats of brown bears to the dense forests of black bears and the bamboo-rich regions of pandas. The mysterious race that uplifted Terra Prime species granted the Ursids intelligence and adaptability, fostering their eventual expansion into the stars.

The Ursids evolved from Terra Prime's diverse bear population, ranging from the mountainous habitats of brown bears to the dense forests of black bears and the bamboo-rich regions of pandas. The mysterious race that uplifted Terra Prime species granted the Ursids intelligence and adaptability, fostering their eventual expansion into the stars.

While other species left Terra Prime early in their development, the Ursids lingered, building robust clans and societies. Eventually, they colonized '''[[Ursa Prime (Galaxa)|Ursa Prime]]''', a planet rich in forests, mountains, and rivers that mirrored their ancestral home.

Line 69:

Ursid clans are deeply matriarchal, led by '''Sows''' who oversee all aspects of political, economic, and familial life:

=== High Sow Leadership ===

* Each clan is ruled by a '''[[High Sow]]''', responsible for nurturing the youngest generation and managing the ~~clan’s~~ wealth and political influence. High Sows are revered as both maternal figures and authoritative leaders.
