Ohlakhira Shufteim (OS), pronounced "Ohlah-keerah Shooft-aym", is an interstellar federation of several thousand star systems that includes humans, Halfen, and Starkind. Its form of government is rule by judges, with an associated parliamentary system that meets for several weeks about once every Earth year. It was founded in 2237.
Etymology
The name literally means "the stars ruled by judges". "Ohlakhira" is the source of the Maasai word "olakira", meaning "star" or "stars". "Shufteim" is the source of the Hebrew word שופטים (shoftim), and refers to rule by judges.
