Overview

Introduction

For decades, Yong Ke has been at the forefront of scientific research in the Expanse. Founded around a ruined Posthuman Spire, Yong Ke took full advantage of its easy access to an intact Posthuman Data Core and scientists from both the PPS as well as transhuman expatriates flocked to its first-rate facilities and infrastructure. Research of all kinds and scientific experiments from all fields were carried out, aided in no small part by generous grants by the Chinese government, as well as loose ethics codes. While the Breakdown dampened this somewhat, the economic and social policies enacted by the newly instituted AI government saved the colony from the fate that befell many others. When contact was restored, the shattered People's Prosperity Sphere was in no positon to continue its lavish funding of potentially dead-end research projects. At the same time, the inhabitants have effectively rejected the rule of "inferiors" in the PPS, and are determined to protect their home and newfound freedom. Today, Yong Ke not only continues to be the foremost research centre in the Expanse, but also boasts a strong economy based on precision manufacturing.

Astrography & Geography

The Yong Le star system is located on the outskirts of territory colonized by the PPS. Due to its early colonization (compared to other colonies), no other colony was founded beyond it.

People & Culture

Neo-Neo-Confucianism, now with Transhumans.

Government & Economy

Perfect Machine, Perfect Justice

Background

Early History

On April 24th, 2097, the PPS deep space survey vessel Jade Compass discovered the Yong Le star system on a routine exploration of the jump lines leading off from the PPS's main axis of expansion. Initial survey results were promising, an orange main-sequence star burned brightly at the system's centre, and an Earth-sized terrestrial planet lay within the star's liquid water zone. The Jade Compass' report was received by the Survey Command and dutifully transmitted to the Colonization Administration, where the newly named "Yong Le" star system was slated for in depth survey in preparation for colonization a few decades down the road. Or so events would have progressed had it not piqued the interest of the senior Survey Command scientist who handlelled the report. Curious about the presence of a strong magnetic field, as well as a thick, nitrogen rich atmosphere, he requested that the Jade Compass make a single detailed scan of the planet before continuing on its mission. The Jade Compass dutifully complied, and found that the planet was far more interesting than they had originally thought.

The crystalline spires that marked Posthuman structures were being discovered with increasing frequency as the PPS' relentless expansion followed the footsteps of the Posthuman exodus, though they were certainly far from a common sight. Images of them, however, were common enough, though none of them had the massive, jagged hole torn into the structure found on Yong Le-II. A planetary survey team was swiftly dispatched, and while they could not deduce the cause of the hole, it made an excellent entry point for their exploration efforts. Within, they found an active Posthuman Data Core, a treasure amongst other treasures. That finding kicked Yong Le-II to the top of the Colonization Authority's list, and a fleet carrying some of the PPS's best and brightest was dispatched within a year.
