Background Topics
Orion’s Arm combines futuristic technology with aristocratic culture. Due to the great Plague, human society became fragmented and retrogressed, but not until after about a millenium of social, economic and technological development from our time during the Net Ages. So, certain aspects of life that we take for granted today do not exist in Orion’s Arm even though they live in our future. They have the ability to travel across planets but no way to communicate directly between them. Certain human beings do not age, yet there are billions of people who toil under theocratic rule. These odd juxtapositions of new and old are reflected in the politics, economics, aesthetics and cultures of Orion’s Arm.
