The GEC is the primary trading organization in human space. It
rules seven worlds, one of which was recently conquered and has an active
resistance to the GEC government.

Basically, near the old Hegemony. Possibly in charge of Orion.
[There was some discussion about this, but I don't think we ever reached
a conclusion.]

The GEC has branch offices on many major worlds and trades with
most of human space. It has an enmity with the Nexites over economic
issues from the Hegemonic times.

The GEC's population is probably in the medium range. It has seven
habitated systems, of which Cruxon (capital) and Lornthar (recent
conquest) have habitable worlds. If it controls Orion, then that is
another habitable world. THe remaining are probably barely habitable.

>> --Is your society particularly rich or poor in any resources?
THe GEC is very wealthy. It recently suffered a mineral crisis,
but the conquest f Lornthar and its mineral-rich asteroid fields
allieviated this.
>> History
>> --What did your society do during the rise of the Hegemony?
The GEC did not exist as such, but its predeccesor, the
Hyperspace Trading Corporations faired well until its nationilization.
>> --What did they do during the Century of Fire?
During the early Century of Fire, the HTC was a leading figure in
the anti-Hegemony revolts. After the Hegemony's defeat, a power struggle
destroyed the HTC. The GEC was created in the late middle part of the
CoF.

The GEC's main division is between those who see the GEC
primarily as a buisness, and the recently developed idea that it should
primarily be a government.
>> --Does your society have any areas (technological developments or

The GEC has access to fast, efficient hyper-drives for use in
trading. In the other areas, the GEC is on the high end of average
[because of the developments "acquired" by GEC traders]

The GEC's official military is relativly small, but if pressed,
it can call up several hundred armed trading ships of varying use.

There are rumors of psionically active assasian-spies called
Shadows. THough the GEC does have a program for psionically active
children, these rumors are denied by the Ministry of Information.

Not really, unless you count the huge economic influence the GEC has.

A loose composition of ships that explore the universe in search of a place

The tribes are scattered about but they started on the rim of the Nexite
Hegemony. Each tribe maintain a near distance within each other to
facilitate communication.

The rim tribes depend heavily on trade to survive the cosmos. They intereact
with others on mostly a business sense but they never reveal their history.

There are about 50 tribes consisting in total a small population. Most
tribes inhabit one 1 large vessel but a few tribes have managed to travel in
a small fleets. Those tribes with the fleets depend on the tribes with the
large ships for resources and travelling through hyperspace.
> --Is your society particularly rich or poor in any resources?
The tribes in the large vessels contain lots of information plus large
hydroponics bays. The rim tribes lack in other needed goods like fuel for
powering their ships and to power the hyperdrives.
> History
> --What did your society do during the rise of the Hegemony?
The rim tribes didn't exist during the rise of the Hegemony.
> --What did they do during the Century of Fire?
The rim tribes appeared because of the Centure of Fire. During the eugenics
program started by the Nexite government, a secret research facily worked on
mixing amphibian genes into the human genome. The idea was that since
certain amphibians (the ones whose source of genes came from) were capable
of naturally entering cryo sleep and in fact able to stop their heart and
come back to life when the environment presented themselves, it would be a
good asset to space soldiers. Even if their pressure suits were unsealed,
their bodies could be easily recovered and reanimated. Plus, artifial
crosleep expenses would drop. The experiments were successful with side
effects such as an extra protective eyes for different pressure system and
secretion of a mucus under different pressure systems to prevent outside and
inside exchanges. Unfortunately, exposure of these soldiers to hyperspace
caused mental instabilities that quickly caused death. Their natural cryonic
state helped these new space soldiers to survive hyperspace.
During the war, the secret facility was attacked but the space soldiers
escaped. The soldiers found a space junkyard once belonged to the Hegemony,
fixed up the ships and scaterred about in an attempt to forget the past and
forge a new future.
Culture
> --Societies often display a degree of schizophrenia regarding goals.
> What are a few major divisions?
The rim tribes' goals are mostly split between the various tribes. Each
tribe try to coloborate for the survival of their tribe and their respective
tribal allies. The means are split up. Some beleive in interecting lots with
outsiders. A few beleiving in stricking either at the remains of the
Hegemony or the ones who attacked the Hegemony (those are 2 different
groups). Some beleive they should find a planet asap to colonize. Some don't
wish to deal with others and try to seek an isolated system to settle up.
> --Does your society have any areas (technological developments or

Generally, this people aren't very technologically developped. They've
learned enough to repair their ships and simple hydroponics prodeceadure to
be close to the average of Human space but it's still below norm.
> --Is there any special emphasis towards or away from the military?
In general, the rim tribes haven't concentrated on much offensive power
unless the ships they found had such capabilities. Certain tribes have the
more aggressive fleets but all of them realize that taking offensive actions
at this point isn't the best policy. The rim tribes needs preparations
before entering any war. Raiding could be possible though and certain tribes
attempt it.
> --Do they have any special relation with Psionics? Mass hatred,
> promoted in the gene pool, etc.
Psionics hasn't been demonstrated much within the rim tribes. Certain people
with psionic abilities that can help are placed in positions to better use
those abilities. Those with hindering psionic abilities tend to hide them
else they get killed.
