Here's some basic information on the two different races, as well as the three empires, GPC, and Lethe itself.
The Races
Humans
Humanity has traveled far and wide across the cosmos, originating from Earth/Terra in the Milky Way. Tens of thousands of years later, long after the highs and lows of early interstellar travel and the eventual loss of our homeworld to man-made disasters and war, we've finally made our places among the stars. In the Kentaurus Spiral, humanity's origin world was Etheron. Etheron would suffer the same fate as Earth, thanks to more man-made disasters. History's doomed to repeat itself, it seems.
Humanity in the Kentaurus Spiral is out of touch with our cousins in other galaxies, and inter-galaxy travel takes from decades to hundreds of years. Who knows what our bretheren are up to right now? Are they even still alive?
Synths
Humanoid Synthetic Organisms, simply known as Synths, are a type of mass-produced 'wet-tech' android made by the three different factions of the Kentaurus Spiral. These androids are made to look, sound, and naturally behave like a normal human in order for them to blend into human society easier than a typical robot. Originally created by one Dr. Tobias Armstrong of the Commonwealth world of Cordia, the technology used to make them has spread throughout the galaxy over the course of the last hundred and fifty years.
Synths are often made for a variety of different purposes and duties, often depending on the faction producing them. For example, Synths are often found in the political, technological, and entertainment fields in the Commonwealth. They are often found in the fields of engineering, manufacturing, and farming on Union worlds. The Imperium has used them for military purposes, resulting in the rather infamous 10th Legion of Zobos, as well as for political and manufacturing purposes.
There are a few easy ways to tell if someone is a Synth. Serial codes are often found in precise locations on the body, though the location varies between factions. Codes are found on the back of the neck for Commonwealth, on the shoulders or arms for Union-produced Synths (it varies from planet to planet), and beneath the tongue on Imperial synths. The serial code consists of three letters of the name of the faction who produced it (COM, UNI, or IMP), followed by three letters of the name of the world it was made on (such as COR for Cordia), followed by the batch number and individual ID number. Synths often also have a simple name they go by instead of their serial code, usually to individualize themselves. These names vary between factions, planets, and cultures.
Another way to tell if one is a Synth is by their blood. Synth blood is blue, as apposed to the red blood of a human. This is because Synth blood is actually an advanced type of machine oil. Every few years, a Synth has to have their blood cycled out and replaced with fresh blood as they lack the means to create new blood like a human. There are facilities on most worlds that offer this service, though Commonwealth facilities often charge a small fee for business.
Synths do not require oxygen in order to function, thus allowing themselves to travel underwater and in vaccums without the aid of specialized suits or vehicles. However, they are just as vulnerable to radiation and other damage like humans. Blunt and piercing force, fire, electrocution, and other deadly forces can still incapacitate or even destroy Synths. Synths, however, can 'cheat death' in a way. If a Blank (meaning a Synth that has not been activated and given a personality routine) is nearby, a Synth can connect to it and transfer a copy of itself into the empty brain of the Blank. This is especially useful if a Synth should find itself too damaged to continue on its own, or for political, military, or scientific data transference. This data transference, however, can range from one to several hours. If the Synth has also suffered too much damage, there is also the risk of data corruption, resulting in an impaired but still functional copy. These copies are especially dangerous, as they often prove unpredictable.
The Empires
The Commonwealth of Free Worlds
The Commonwealth of Free Worlds, commonly known as simply the Commonwealth, is a union of independent star systems and planets. Each features their own unique governments, ranging from democratic republics to corporate conglomerates to classical monarchies, but all share a common economic system: Capitalism. They also share a common goal: the spread of 'true freedom' and capitalism throughout the galaxy, and the downfall of both of its rival factions. The Commonwealth finds its governmental capital on the core world of Asoria, a garden world which most also consider among the wealthiest in the Commonwealth due to its ideal location and ownership of larger material production worlds nearby.
The Union of Xistrovian Socialist Systems
The Union of Xistrovian Socialist Systems (known more commonly as the Union) is a collective of socialist star systems and worlds, which were formerly part of the Commonwealth until their rebellion over one millennia ago. Each world features a socialist government based off the governmental model of its ideological origin world, Xistrov, which instigated and lead the revolution against the Commonwealth. Collective goal is to achieve a communist utopia that spans the galaxy (and potentially the universe), and to free neighboring worlds from the clutches of the money hungry Commonwealth and tyrannical vice-grip of the Kamoran Imperium.
The Kamoran Imperium
The Kamoran Imperium, known simply as the Imperium, is a vast interstellar empire comprised of several hundred systems and planets ruled from the core world of Kamora. Originally a more democratic government, the democracy slowly eroded over the years and shifted into an autocracy due to varying crises that appeared born from the Imperium's rapid expansion into space and the death of its true origin world (Etheron) from man-made destructive environmental changes. Eventually, a civil war would erupt and, after a devastating loss, result in the birth of the Commonwealth. The Imperium would see a major shift in rule after this major loss of territory and life, resulting in a more hardline approach to governance. The Imperial family would involve themselves more directly in the running of the empire, pushing to strengthen the unity of its people and direct them toward securing a brighter future for themselves and the empire as a whole in the face of a universe that 'sought their division and destruction'. The Imperium's goals are expansion and growth, self-improvement and unity using any means necessary, and to regain their lost territory (the Commonwealth and the Union.)
The Galactic Preservation Conglomerate
The Galactic Preservation Conglomerate is a group of likeminded individuals from each of the major empires, dedicated to trying to keep the peace between the empires both outside and inside the Neutral Zone. The Conglomerate oversees fair use of worlds between the empires, and peaceful activity between them. They also investigate any incidents that occur inside the Neutral Zone, and see that proper judgement and punishments are issued accordingly. However, due to the nature of the Conglomerate, and the true loyalties of its members, all three factions attempt to sway the Conglomerate's activities and judgements in their favor. They have a dedicated military force, known as the GPC Peacekeepers, in order to enforce rulings.
The Aidoneus System, and Lethe
The Aidoneus System is a star system within the Neutral Zone, consisting of a blue giant star (Aidoneus) and its four planets and their moons. The planets in order from their relative distance from the star are Tartarus, Hades, Asphodel, and Elysium. Tartarus has one moon, known as Cronus. Hades has five moons: Styx, Acheron, Phlegethon, Cocytus, and Lethe (on which the RP takes place.) Asphodel does not have any moons, but Elysium has two: Rhadamanthus and Minos.
Lethe is an abnormally large moon, in orbit around planet Hades. Lethe is of significant importance to the three great factions of the galaxy, as it is rich with specific metals and crystals used in the production of a variety of goods within each empire. Each empire, at first, staked a claim on the moon which resulted in a brief skirmish between colonizers from each faction. The Galactic Preservation Conglomerate quickly stepped in, and decided that the moon could be shared between the three due to its large size. After extensive negotiation between representatives from each faction, a deal was struck. Colonies would be established in three separate regions on the moon's surface and, as a show of good faith and trust, travel was allowed by the three groups between the three colonies. The Galactic Preservation Conglomerate constructed a local facility on the moon's surface as well, to make sure that the agreement was kept.
Lethe is now one of the largest materials producers in the southern portion of the Neutral Zone. Though primarily a mining world, exploratory missions are also launched from its colonies to the other moons and planets in the Aidoneus system. However, each faction also continues to conduct espionage and spy work against the other factions throughout the colonies, as well as the tunnels and mineshafts beneath them.
Lethe has a very thin atmosphere, resulting in any surface travel having to be done with the use of space suits and rovers. Travel between the colonies happens through the use of hyperloop tubes. Travel through the mineshafts and tunnels calls for the use of warm clothing, as temperatures underground remain on the cooler end compared to the surface. Colony life is far more comfortable, thanks to extensive life support systems. Gravity on Lethe seems to be fairly normal, and Lethe's slightly slower rotation makes for days being around thirty hours in total. Calendars, clocks, and work schedules have been adjusted accordingly for those living and working on Lethe.
The Commonwealth's colony on Lethe is known as Fortuna, while the Union's colony is known as Samotsvety. The Imperium's colony is known as Blaknell's Reach. The GPC's small operations station is located between Fortuna and Samotsvety, as the Imperium's colony was still under construction when the station was originally made.
