Surro Aster Cluster

“Ya don’t want ta go out there, ser,” said the beaten up bot, their haphazardly put together joints creaking as they adjust a few gears in the massive digging machine. The shrieking grind of the machine’s motor as it was started up the next second grated against their ears. They winced, but the old bot seemed unfazed—indeed, they doubted the sound had even the ability to register in the bot’s sensors.   “Why not?” they asked, shifting their feet, cocking their hip. The bangles in their hair clattered together, a pleasing clip, clip, clip whenever they tilted their head.   “Well, ser,” rasped the bot, “that there is No Man’s Land, if ya don’t mind the cliche. Ah ain’t ever seen a Neo Terran go out there an’ come back...least not in one piece.”

Geography

The “Surrounding Asteroid Cluster” that make up most, if not all, of the border around Alpha Avior System. Made of systems littered with multiple, natural asteroid belts and rings originally, the size of its walls have grown since the colonization began there. The robotic laborers that originally began to terraform the surrounding planets for the various factions arranged the left over material to provide an even larger border against outside space for the Alpha Avior System. This place is a maze, cutting off transmitter signals within a set radius of it.

Natural Resources

The Surro Aster Cluster is formed of natural rock and boulder, gas giants, and heavy metal scraps melted together by the bots when the material could no longer be reused. While there are some rare materials, gems, and even some rare, life-giving planets found among the systems, the chances of actually finding them without becoming lost are slim, unless a map of someone already within the region is provided. Recent rumor has it that the newly popular Transpicuous Crystal found everywhere on Diadem could also be found here, but whether the rumors are true are left to be determined.

    Transhumanism
    Scientific achievement

    In response to the growing Posthuman trend calling itself Neo Terranism, nearly thirty years after that first corrupted publication of Evelyn's blueprints, those that disagreed with the ethical implications began to develop other technology in the lines of biological rather than artificial in an effort to solve the need for protection against their new hostile environments. Gene therapies and genetic manipulation, coupled sparingly with the nano technology that was the basis for Evelyn Byrn's technological wonders, begin the movement of an ‘ethical’ alternative: Transhumanism.

    Transhumans Leave The Sol System
    Population Migration / Travel

    Transhuman ships leave the Sol System. From Earth to Neptune, space ships travel out of their overpopulated system and toward the Alpha Avior System. They never make it to the Alpha Avior System, instead becoming lost and then blocked by Neo Terrans before they could reach it. Isolated in the Surro Aster Cluster and the various systems there, they begin to struggle to terraform the hostile systems there, finding a few golden worlds in the process.

    Cluster Scientists United
    Founding

    In the ten years since the Rejection, independent researchers and scientists set out to find habitable worlds. Many failed attempts were enacted over the years afterward, but they struck gold on a precious world and a few moons. Gratified by their success and in the name of expediency, wanting to share information with one another, these independent scientists banded together to form Cluster Scientists United.

    The Fair Share Treaties
    Diplomatic action

    Established over the past four months, January saw the implementation of the Fair Share Treaties--an effort to combine the resources and populations of both societies to make up for their lacks. Transhumans were allowed to spread and explore, to get their hands on Neo Terran tech. Neo Terrans were allowed to go out into Transhuman territory to search for resources.
