Primus Lumus
Solah 23, 3.899
In the year 3.899, the universe has expanded. Humanity has discovered upwards of 1,000 planets, and 70% of them are occupied in some way. There are over 900 humanistic species discovered, and millions of animalistic species discovered.
People everywhere dream of exploring space more, finding more galaxies and planets and societies. However, this is a very dangerous job, as space travel is still quite experimental. It's very easy for people to take a job in the field and then disappear.
Politics are worse than ever, and voting is required. There are elections almost every other day, and the results are instant. Blessedly they are still secret elections, but it has become commonplace to publicly announce your preferred candidate.
