Background

It is obvious to all that the future of mankind is found among the stars, adapted for life in vacuum and outside of the gravity wells of planets. The citizens of Chrysalis know. As they scavenge what they can from Velan drones and buy what they can about human augmentation from any who sell the expertise, adapting alien technology into cybernetic implants, they learn more and more about how to create a living thing which can survive in vacuum unaided. One day, they will crack the environmental seals of their colonies and truly live in space.

The pirates got so bad the government collapsed. Their intrepid leader had a great idea - why not become the government, and then do it again?

Background

Fortosix is a example of a declined biosphere, the few remaining lifeforms are hardy plants and algae masses sparse oceans. The most remarkable feature of the planet is the considerable 'outgassing' of hydrocarbons, recent tidal stresses through an unknown cause (believed to be the passing of a large asteroid body) have led to the cracking of several reservoir which have begun to outpour onto the surface in significant amounts. Lakes of crude oil have sprung up in the past few hundred years before human settlement. Initially designed with resource export in mind, the sheer isolation of the colony soon lead to issues, the difficult working conditions of mining in a substrate festering with oil lead to the collapse of the multiparty communal government and a harsh autocractic single party government who forced the miners in line. With cities choked with smog and seas of oil, it remains a difficult world, but one brimming with resources and potential.

The rulers of Hanns are well aware of one fact - in the long term, manpower matters. With enough people, they will simply be too big to conquer or dismiss, and well-placed to catch-up when the time comes.
