Background

At some point in the past, cats were uplifted to human-like intelligence. According to the cats, they proceeded to uplift at least a few self-sustaining populations of everything else. All shapes and sizes are sentient, not simply the evolved apes.

The government is egalitarian in attitude and policy; it is a representative democracy using single transferable votes to seat representatives for each region. Cats, nonetheless, form the majority in the representative body, as - unlike some who have been uplifted - they are not often species-favoring in their policy.

Green Sun citizens have been kidnapped and forced into slavery by Galliard expeditions in the past; this remains one of several differences between the two systems. However, with the technology and resource differential, Green Sun has mostly engaged in conflict-by-proxy to fight Galliard. For example, Green Sun has "secretly" supported Galliard opposition factors in resource-rich Old Terra.

At great expense, Station One maintains geosynchronous orbit around the main world, acting as the system's main trade hub and interstellar contact point. A large rotating wheel space station, its near normal gravity by centrifugal force makes it a comfortable destination for its multispecies residents and travelers.

Aspects

• Cats in charge
• Intelligence comes in many shapes
• Aggressively egalitarian
