The Asuri Republics has introduced an emergency space-travel ban for its newly formed one planet minor client state, the Lepido Foundation.

The Lepido, a species of pre-sapient mothoids, were discovered serendipitously last month by the xenophilic Asuri, who promptly uplifted them and granted them protectorate status.

However, since discovering sublight travel, the Lepido have repeatedly launched all of their civilian and military spaceships into Kibbith, the K-class star of their home system.
