The Tabiren is one of the major Interstellar Colony fleets in the Kepek Commonwealth. It leads a fleet of 500 smaller colony housing ships, capable of carrying hundreds of millions of Kepek, while the Tabiren flagship (The ICF.Tabiren) is also capable of carrying several million comfortably. The ICF.Tabiren is the oldest of the Interstellar Colony flagships, the only one still surviving that was (supposedly) constructed prior to the destruction of the Kepek's home planet, although its debatable if its still technically the same ship, since it's been upgraded piece by piece during every visit to Bektep Space Station, as all ships are.
The goal of the Tabiren fleet is to expand the empire as much as possible. Their chosen colonies serve a mix of purposes from general housing to study of the natural world and recourse collection.
The Tabiren fleet has one of the longest routes with a total of 26 stops, all located in the Arvek'ara Nebula. Like all of the Kepek Commonwealth fleets, their route takes 10 Bektep Orbits to complete, and finishes with them warping back to the Bektep Space Station to meet with the rest of the Kepek Commonwealth.
It's large number of colonies means they have to keep to a very tight schedule while travelling and can not stay at any of their stops for very long. It's not uncommon for Tabiri passengers to be left behind on colonies when they miss the call to return to the ferries.

The Temple of Orovid
The Aburep system is home to the planet Mabek, one of the first planetary colonies established by the Kepek. The system orbits a blue star and consists of only two other planets, a small gas giant named Gildrix which has so far been left uninhabited and Taed, another water world with a frozen surface, which the Tabiri and Mabaki Kepek were able to establish small settlements on, though not year-round.
The Karad System is home to the Tabiren's newest colony, planet Ilieda, as well as 15 other planets which have, so far at least, been mostly unexplored beyond unmanned drone sweeps. As of right now, the majority of the planets are unnamed, simply being designated Karad 1-14, with Ilieda being the only exception.
The system orbits two yellow stars, Karad A and B.
Most of the planets orbit both stars' centre of mass, however, Karad 1 and 2 orbit Karad A only, and Karad 3 orbits both A and B in a figure-8 formation.
The Space stations built by the Tabiren fleet are primarily used as holy sites and temples dedicated to The Way of the Starfolk
The temple of Xelun is a small space station orbiting a blue star near the centre of the nebular. The light from both the star and the nebular means that the station itself has no day/night cycle naturally, and the Tabiri chose to keep this for the interior of the temple too, unlike other space stations that often have artificial day/night cycles if the environment outside can not provide an adequate one. The Tabiri see the constant light as a blessing from the Talbek worshiped in the Temple. A number of Talbek are known to inhabit this region, however, they usually choose to keep their distance.
The temple is one of the biggest places of worship in the Galaxy, and many Kepek come from other colonies and planets, even outside the Tabiren's territory to see it.
Like the temple of Xelun, The Temple of Orovid is another temple dedicated to The Way of the Starfolk and the worship of The Talbek. It orbits a small red star, and is the final stop in the route before the Tabiren's fleet warps back to the Bektep Space Station.
