Ohlakhira Shufteim, pronounced "Ohlah-keerah Shoof-taiym" and often abbreviated as Ohshu or OS, 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 is Halfen and 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.
