| It was 2101 HY, early in the Great Human Expansion, when they discovered the [[Centaurus Gate:Alien Artifact|Gate]] (then called the Artifact, as they had no idea what it was, or what it did). The Artifact orbited between the two stars of Alpha Centauri, a ring almost as large as a planet. It proved to the naysayers that there was other intelligent life in the universe. | It was 2101 HY, early in the Great Human Expansion, when they discovered the [[Centaurus Gate:Alien Artifact|Gate]] (then called the Artifact, as they had no idea what it was, or what it did).

Humans have explored the majority of their galaxy by this time, and spread to countless worlds, all thanks to the amazing power offered by [[ISOtech]]. As a society, much has changed in the impressive amount of time elapsed from our age. People no longer consider themselves grouped by race, creed, or gender. This all stems from a firm, nearly universal belief in freedom. Instead people join [[Society|societies]] based on their ideals and beliefs, these are small and large groups of like-minded individuals who generally share a common goal. There are no nations, but there are local governments (one per star system) that manage needs of the people at that locale. The strength of a society is based on its amount of members, and they have votes in governments based on members within that locale. Its all kind of complicated, |

| + | The deep belief in freedom as a universal truth has shaped all of the new social system. The rule of three sevens has been around for ages for instance, which is designed to prevent children from being too influence by there parents. It is expected (but not law, a social taboo) for a child to only be with their parents for the first seven years, then trained by Avery the next seven, and placed into work (for the social system) for the next seven after that. At 21 they are free to do as they please until the end of their days, which may be quite long... | ||

| + | ISOtech can heal and restore a humans body quite easily, making them ageless and eternally youthful. However, everyone is not assured immortality. The social system managed by Avery mandates that at each century mark, a human be evaluated for their value to society. Avery is the judge, and if you do not pass you are not renewed and all abilities to maintain your ageless state are deactivated. This means you age normally from that point and live out the end of your years. No appeals, no second chances for renewal. The initial scrutiny at 100 years old is light, and each additional renewal application is harder. No human has renewed more than three times. People manage their amount of children carefully since excess causes automatic failure of renewal. | ||

| + | The myriad species of the Expanse break themselves up into two categories: [[Astral]] and [[Exotic]]. While the Exotic are generally quite remarkable and come in a wide array of forms, the Astral are all humanoid. The races that went to space first and began building galactic empires are all Astral, and share a common language and have their own takes on a common technology. You never know what you might encounter with the Exotic though, and they are all over the Spinway. Of the many Astral species, five have joined the ETF ([[Expedition Task Force]]) as allies. These are known to the ETF as the [[Five Allied Races]]. Much more is known about them than the rest of the species in the Expanse, as they have been the most open to humans. | ||
