Background

The two largest rival corporate-government alliances - Esten and Wogar - competed to exploit the local system. It looked like war was brewing, but the discovery of slipstream drive came in time to divert their energies outwards. Now they compete to exploit other systems!

It's a stratified society with the veneer of representative rule. The main garden planet is the exclusive domain of the super-rich; most industries, and their workers, are based off the survivable worlds. While against slavery of people, their laws do not define non-humans as people. That said, this and other laws do not seem to apply to the whims of the super-rich.

Aspects

• A house divided
• Don't threaten the revenue stream
• Lawful and orderly
