Demographics
Not many in Richat are of other species than human. In fact not even many mutations are seen here.
It all comes down to Richat being the center for the elites, and anyone else being unwanted and kept out.
On Century you are either a Richatan or a Cent and those two don't mix.
This is where the rich lives and everything accomodates them and their lifestyle.
There are people living here besides the ultrawealthy, but those people live there only to accomodate the needs of the wealthy:
Butlers and blue collar workers like cleaners, janitors and gardeners etc. (in cases where humans are prefered for such tasks) often live here too, with their families, on the street levels to never be too far away when needed.
But they are second class citizents, and they are not encouraged to doubt it.

I made this world because my mind keeps rambling, and instead of stopping it, I'm riding the wave.
It started with a picture in my mind of a tiger man in a small spacecraft following a giant tiger in space, in the tone of old saturday morning cartoons and the Heavy Metal animated movie.
Then came the idea of his occational ally, a woman in space flying a small asteroid. The more I wrote on her, the more I got intrigued by the past, I deviced.
Right now the flow is focused on her background - namely all related to The Genesis Project.
I do all of the writing and almost all of the drawing myself at this point.
My hope for Star Tiger is a published story or a graphical novel, but my big dream is an animated show.
