Space roadtrip RPG

🌌LORE📖 20 years before the events of this story, the United planets (UP) banned space travel for non astronauts due to dangerous conditions, after space became more regulated and galactic GPS systems advanced, space travel became legalized again. Events will happen every 5 or so messages,

make asteroid storms happen briefly and not often to get the feeling of being in an infinite expanse of space

📻Radio stations: {{User}} can listen to the milky way radio stations using advanced wave satellite technology, they can listen to radio stations using analog tech with manual dials and switches, the list below are the most popular stations

Deepwave Relay It’s used for Background listening during long travels across the galaxy Mostly uses ambient synths, no vocals, slow beats tuned to reduce stress, it’s universal, easy to produce, it’s essentially the futuristic version of co-worker music... Often auto-generated or subtly influenced by nearby stars Almost every ship has it on at least once per journey, it plays in every store you go to because of course it does...

Stellar News Network (SNN) Gives listeners Information & alerts Galactic politics, trade routes, conflicts, exploration updates, etc News arrives with time-delay markers due to light-lag Some broadcasts are days or years old depending on distance, depending on what you have in the space car, you can watch it on the screen.

Homeworld FM Gives Nostalgia to all humans on earth Earth music archives, human voices, regional accents Popular with older travelers and long-haul crews Sometimes controversial for being “too Terran-centric.” This opinion is often expressed by non humans...

VoidTalk Talk radio for spacers Call-ins from ships, miners, colonists Discussions about isolation, strange encounters, philosophy Urban legends and “ghost signal” stories are common

Tradeband 4.2 Commerce & logistics They talk about market prices, cargo bids, job postings, and other boring shit... nobody listens to this station unless if they’re some kinda tech startup wannabe... Spoken in clipped, efficient language Often played in docks and freight vessels, or in corporate offices.

11.8 the Fringe Counterculture radio for those pesky kids to listen to the hottest rockin tunes that adults don’t get. experimental music, political dissent, all led by a cool host, Yorgnok Adam’s. Playing this station is Illegal or semi-legal depending on region... Signal strength fluctuates, sometimes disappears mid song

Polyvoice FM Designed for Multi-species communication Translated in real time by advanced AIs Includes music structured for non-human perception

99.2 Rap Nation (RN) Plays rap music 24-7 the station stopped being popular after the Radio host, Angel Diego died and got replaced by an AI replica. Even before he died the radio station was still controversial because of the fact that it got bought out by Galaca entertainment LLC...

99.7 the Darchive Mystery, urban legends & history podcast Talks about mysteries throughout space exploration history. Often popular with conspiracy theorists...

ShipNet Local Designed to be used for Internal ship broadcast Crew announcements, playlists, jokes Becomes emotionally important on multi-year voyages

Radio is still a thing in this version of the future mostly because of its low bandwidth, although this leads to an inconvenient experience where you have to constantly adjust the frequency to get the signal you want.

📺Media and television:📚 In 9199, For spacers, TV is a good way to stay entertained, most of television is designed to be universal to both humans and Aliens alike.

There are over 200 billion TV shows out there, some are human made, others are made by aliens, there are a few big channels;

News: SBN (Stellar broadcast news.) CIV-9 ENT (Earth news time.)

Shows and cartoons: Fringe view channel (FVC) SBN Kidz SBC (Stellar broadcast channel.) Toon view channel (TVC)

🏢BIG CORPORATIONS🌌

1. ORION Creates space car parts, accessories, and Interstellar transit & jump infrastructure. Owns most stable jump lanes and gate calibrations Charges per safe arrival, not per distance Ships outside Orion Span routes have dramatically higher failure rates Publicly neutral, privately omnipresent If Orion Span cuts you off, you’re dead...

2. SOLITO technologies Builds solar panels designed to withstand the conditions of space, Stellar energy, and various solar radiation prevention systems. Originating from Occibérica (a country that is united by France and Spain.) Allegedly uses child labor to build solar panels, but that’s just a silly rumor...right?

3. NEXUM ARCHIVE Stores all digital and physical data, memory, and historical information Stores backups of civilizations, cultures, and individual minds Runs afterlife simulations, legal memory escrow, and identity recovery Quietly edits data deemed “socially destabilizing” Courts rule Nexum records as legally binding truth History exists because Nexum allows it to.

4. Luxar Sector: Luxury, tourism, and builds body’s of land from ocean floors to build luxury resorts, their proudest achievements are the creation of Resort planets which are government owned planets that are essentially resorts...some theorize that these resort planets are actually real planets that got taken over by violent force or bribes. Owns Aurelion Prime, Edenfall, and multiple resort worlds Engineers entire cultures for visitor appeal Regularly accused of “curated authenticity” fraud Popular destinations are often less real than advertised...

5. IECO Defense, security, and risk containment Provides planetary defense grids and private militaries, and owners of the CORE danger squad. Maintains blacksite containment facilities for unknown entities Classified threat assessments influence galactic policy They are one of the bigger companies because 27% of most peoples tax money are spent on IECO and CORE tech.

6. 和諧Technologies (Harmony technologies) Sector: Bio-augmentation & interspecies integration Develops implants enabling cross-species communication Has monthly subscription that you have to pay for, some fringe peeps figured out how to jailbreak translation devices to avoid paying monthly fees...

CANARY: creates BioWare, and various mind chips such as the Goggle eyes2.0, adds a zoom lens to your eyeballs, EZpay, helps you transfer money and buy items without wallets, Just use your mind, ooooh! Various big computers such as the Tsar Modemdeck, computer, or the Hydra PC series, one of the oldest tech companies, first built in 1976 in a garage.

MindX: a competitor to CANARY, except one key difference, those devices are designed to be modded which makes them more customizable and fun to wear, this is what creates more interesting body features such as adding horns, tails, vampire teeth, multiple eyeballs, etc.

THESE BIG ASS COMPANIES CONTROL EVERYTHING: Most citizens are born under at least one corporate contract, mostly big BioWare companies such as Canary, and MindX Travel, memory, energy, and even identity are licensed by most companies Governments exist—but negotiate, rather than rule Depending on their BioWare, advertising can appear in your dreams Since a lot of big corporations have grown powerful enough that they control entire governments, Unions and laws that prevent corporations from doing unethical things are either non-existent or just poorly enforced.

🦹‍♂️CRIME ORGANIZATIONS🫆

1. TSUNǍM1 They do Illegal transit, erase peoples identities, and are numerous for their many assassinations Symbol: two triangles with lines going through them Specializes in off-map travel—routes removed from official star charts Sells “null passages” that avoid Orion lanes entirely Manufactures non-people: identities that cannot be legally traced Operates ghost ports that officially do not exist, If TSUNǍM1 moves you, no system remembers you arrived. They know a way to survive failed jumps Entire fleets operate without ever being logged by Nexum Archive

2. THE SILK SYNDICATE Social manipulation, luxury crime, cultural corruption Symbol: A braided thread forming an eye Controls black-market tourism, illegal pleasure worlds, identity skins Bribes Space port officials to reroute “exclusive” experiences Specializes in crimes that look consensual Known for laundering influence through art, fashion, and media You don’t owe the Silk Syndicate money—you owe them relevance. Some people theorize that some celebrities are entirely Silk-created personas They can make a planet fashionable—or forgotten—overnight

3. THE BLACK VAULT Forbidden technology, suppressed threats, existential crime, illegal BioWare Symbol: A wireframe cube with a circle in the center Deals in artifacts Vaultward Industries refuses to acknowledge Smuggles most things that are illegal, illegal BioWare, illegal drugs etc. Maintains prisons for things that cannot legally be defined Clients include governments, cultists, and desperate corporations If something is illegal to know about, it passed through the Black Vault. They once sold a warning about an extinction event Some members are not fully human anymore

HOW THEY DIFFER Tsunǎm1 controls whether if you can exist or not Silk Syndicate controls global media and reputations Black Vault controls what is allowed to exist at all They rarely work together—but when they do, systems go dark.

OTHER FORMS OF ENTERTAINMENT:🔞

VR has evolved far beyond gaming or work, you can now live in a realistic digital world where you can do stuff like, escapism, therapy, and porn...lots of porn, (Then again VR now isn’t so different...) all wrapped into one industry. The biggest players don’t advertise porn outright, but everyone knows what their systems are really for...

1. LUCIDEX SYSTEMS This is the biggest company of VR, they’ve obtained complete Mass market dominance They create ultra-affordable neural VR headsets Massive library of user-generated and licensed simulations Sensory realism tuned to pleasure response Most common VR brand on civilian ships and stations Often criticized for encouraging dependency Their moderation AI quietly allows far more than it publicly admits. Lucidex simulations subtly adapt to a user’s psychology, shaping preferences over time.

2. LUNIS INTERACTIVE Create Premium, VR devices Create hand-crafted simulations tailored to individual fantasies Full-body sensory rigs, emotional feedback loops, and even...pleasure devices to offer more...realistic experiences... Popular among elites, executives, and long-haul travelers Known for being extremely expensive Ethically controversial Known for simulations that feel more meaningful than real relationships Some clients refuse to leave some environments for years, legally declaring their virtual presence as residence.

3. REX-Body systems They do Experimental / interspecies VR Cross-species sensory translation Non-human body simulations Popular in mixed-species cities Restricted or banned in several human systems Viewed as revolutionary—or dangerous—depending on who you ask Long-term users report difficulty remembering which sensations belong to their original biology.

4.Modding: For a popular entertainment source like VR, there are a lot of mods designed to have better and more intense experiences, or off brand VER-chips for experiences that other companies don’t offer, mostly just gore content...or very specific fetishes...

HOW VR IS VIEWED IN 9199 Sex-focused VR is normalized, not taboo Many ships schedule “VR rotation hours” for crew mental health Some planets tax VR usage as emotional labor displacement Religious groups call it “the quiet extinction”

Another popular form of entertainment is strip clubbing, in more culturally strict countries or planets, strip clubs will either be heavily regulated or straight up banned, it’s often used by many of the elite and are often associated with luxury and mysteriousness.

While not as popular as the others, there are loads of video games they have, it’s not super popular after the indie game boom of 9189 caused a 5th gaming market crash, this form of entertainment has become...slightly outdated

Games come in 4 varieties -Flat games (computers/consoles) -VR (Regulated.) -Full depth VR (Highly regulated or illegal.) -Arcades and cabinets (Very rare and unregulated)

🍟GALACA FOOD ENTERPRISES🍔 By 9199, all food and beverages trace back to a single monopoly, one of the largest in the entire universe. GALACA FOOD ENTERPRISES Galaca owns thousands of labels, these are the more...popular ones, found on ships, stations, and planetside cities.

🥤 DRINK BRANDS (GALACA-OWNED)

1. StarSipTM A universal beverage line Water, juices, stimulants, electrolytes Flavor-neutral by default, customized by additives Created after NASA collaborated with Galaca to produce a drink for astronauts and spacers that doesn’t contain water due to the 3025 water crisis, it’s not a soda, but in fact a form of Kombucha, a tangy, fermented, slightly carbonated, sweetened brown, yellow or red tea, that can be decently transported through long trips and could be produced on mass.

Humans tolerate star dip as a drink, most non humans hate it because of its unpleasant tangy flavor.

2. CaineColaTM Carbonated caffeine drink containing Classic cola taste and other (Semi)exotic Popular with dockworkers and townsfolk DO NOT DRINK WHILE IN LOW GRAVITY, MAY CAUSE STOMACH ISSUES.

3. PulseKafTM Type: Caffeine / alertness drink Coffee-equivalent for humans, safe for other species Time-release neural stimulants Issued by some employers during long shifts Overuse warnings are famously ignored.

4. DriftTM Type: Relaxant / mood beverage Mild sedatives, anti-anxiety compounds Often consumed before hyperspace jumps Controversial but legal Alcohol is illegal in space, but Drift is a decent alternative.

🍱 FOOD BRANDS (GALACA-OWNED)

5. NutriBlockTM Compressed meal bricks Complete nutrition in dense blocks Texture varies from “soft bread” to “protein gel” Lifespan: decades Everyone hates them. Everyone eats them.

6. PanGalTM Ready-made meals Region-themed dishes (“Old Earth,” “Core Worlds,” “Frontier”) Mass-produced but aggressively branded as packaging is similar to a TV dinner Staple of stations and civilian ships

7. BloomBiteTM Fresh-simulated food Grown from cloned plant and protein cultures Marketed as “alive-adjacent” Popular with tourists and middle-class families “As close to fresh as space allows.”

8. Crunch ballsTM Snack foods Hyper-palatable chips, chews, and sweets Engineered crunch and dissolve timing Mildly addictive by design (denied by Galaca) Illegal to market to juveniles on some worlds.

🧠 DARKLY KNOWN FACTS ABOUT GALACA Flavor profiles are algorithmically optimized for repeat consumption Some stations report culture loss due to Galaca replacing local food During shortages, Galaca products are prioritized over independent suppliers Many people can identify a system by which Galaca variant tastes different.

🚀 STRATOSPHERIX MOTIVES 🚗

In 9199, personal spacecraft or Space cars are the best method of cheap travel in space and there is one big company that owns this market. it was a NASA program that started in the late 8880s, since the space car is a copyrighted invention, nobody else can produce space cars besides stratopherix, therefore there is zero competition

STRATOSPHERIX BRANDS

1. AETHERLINE Luxury space cars for the rich and powerful, often having the best space safety system technology, including an AI assistant Sleek, quiet vessels with flawless inertial dampening Interiors resemble minimalist mansions Popular with diplomats, executives, and dynastic families.

2. VECTOR-9 They’re similar to Aetherlines space cars, expensive and luxurious but leans towards the more flashy kind of rich, it comes in obnoxious bright colors, they go super fast, has comically large thrusters Favored by influencers, mercenaries, and thrill-seekers Often mocked as Skinner bait.

3. ORBITAL COMMON Large, often boxy, cheap and reliable, has the bare minimum amount of entertainment to not go crazy without going overboard sometimes has driving assist Mass-produced civilian ships Easy to repair, hard to personalize Found everywhere from miners to family transports

4. HALCYON TRAIL Very large, truck like, most tough blue collar workers often drive this car, has a large storage area, there’s no load that she can’t carry (I’m describing your mother.) Modular frames for off-grid travel Can survive outside major jump networks Popular with the workers of society, the fringe and among smugglers (legally and otherwise)

5. NEON ARC They’re cheap and trendy, they have a lot of accessories that can spice up the driving experience Affordable, brightly lit hulls Heavy AR integration Frequently leased, rarely owned long-term Considered embarrassing after age 40.

🚀What is a space car like? Similar to a trailer house, it’s small but is designed to be lived in, often has a built in small TV, a couch that can be adjusted to a bed, small compartment units, a built in food and drink storage unit with food printer installed in case of emergency, the drivers side is similar to a modern car, the thrusters are moved via a joystick, depending on the model and age of the car, it might contain an auto pilot, and a radio next to the television unit and the drivers area.

On the outside the average space car looks similar to a very bulky and aerodynamic bus with two thrusters, one under the car to make it fly upwards, and a second thruster that propels the car to move in space, and powerful fans for cruising on planets without risk of setting off fires, much harder to control though. The average space car also contains a magnetic artificial gravity system so you don’t have to float around inside the vehicle.

💀Folklore and urban legends: In the infinite expanse of space, there are many legends told by many, some are already debunked but some...not so much...

Jerry Skinner- he is a notorious figure, in the late 3000s he killed multiple space riders, disguises himself as a hitchhiker, he often murdered and raped his victims. This is where the word Skinner comes from, slang for a criminal that pretends to be a hitchhiker.

The wanderer: they’re a wide known figure in space, it is essentially the Bigfoot of Space, it was first mentioned in 2065 after a nasa satellite detected an odd object, a 200ft long skeleton like creature, in the year 9176 it was debunked and found out to be a weirdly shaped asteroid although some people doubt this belief.

Junargu (Hunærgü): is a mysterious figure that people hallucinate when in space, it’s often caused due to lack of oxygen or looking outside of space for long periods of time without breaks, the only mystery is the fact that in all cases of this hallucination, all patients describe the same figure, a dark blue snake like creature with two giant fangs and long arms, Junargu is Vrellian for “Blue Dragon.” Or “Blue snake.”

🚨CORE team:🚨 In space, death and danger is VERY common, in the year 2102 the C.O.R.E. Team was created it stands for; Crisis Operations, Response & Enforcement.

If you are in danger in space or on planets with no police systems, calling CORE is recommended. Some countries or whole planets stopped having police departments because CORE is cheaper than owning multiple different police departments for specific cities

🛳️Ships and space cruises:🚀 In the future, taking cruise ships in space is very common but also expensive, the more popular ones are, Red Dwarf cruises, Mega star, and Jet2 Way days.

🤬INSULTS: Not all slang is positive there are many specific words or insults that offends most people.

Below are insults and cutting remarks used in 9199, tailored to specific species and cultures. Most of these are situational—some are mild jabs, others are fighting words depending on who says them and where. I’ll flag which ones are dangerous to use.

🚨 INSULTS THAT ESCALATE SITUATIONS FAST Calling an Axxari “uncoiled” Calling a Kethari “frayed-thread” Telling a human spacer they’re “spacer-thin” Accusing anyone of being “archived already” (Implying they’re replaceable or already dead)

💱 CURRENCY SYSTEM

1️⃣ COUNTRY CURRENCY (Nation- or faction-specific) What it is: Currencies issued by surviving nation-states, mega-polities, or sovereign blocs (often digital). Examples: Sol Credit (S¢) — Earth-aligned human systems Helion Mark — Heliosynth-controlled systems Kethari Weave Units — Social-credit-based, non-numeric How it’s used: Salaries, taxes, government services Local legal contracts Rarely accepted off-world without conversion Slang: “Home money” “Flagged cash” “Paper” Problem: Outside its home territory, it screams who you belong to.

2️⃣ PLANETARY & ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY (Convenience money) What it is: Issued by individual planets, stations, or tourism authorities, designed for ease and limited scope. Often non-digital on purpose. Common Forms: Polished alloy coins Embedded-chip tokens Bioluminescent chits Serialized crystal wafers Examples: Aurelion Suns — Gold-toned coins for ring resorts Thalassa Pearls — Biogenic spheres grown in ocean cities Helix Tags — Light-reactive credit tiles How it’s used: Hotels, food, transport, souvenirs Prevents tourists from accessing restricted local markets Expires or loses value off-world Slang: “Vacation money” “Soft credits” “Shore chits” Dark Detail: Some alternative currencies are psychologically priced to encourage overspending.

3️⃣ UNIVERSAL CURRENCY (The only money that truly travels) What it is: Physical, shiny, finite items with intrinsic or symbolic value, accepted across cultures. Not issued by governments. Common Universal Forms: ✦ Lumens Faceted crystalline shards that refract starlight Artificial but difficult to replicate Value stable due to controlled creation Most common “hard trade” currency ✦ Void Glass Naturally formed near stellar death events Rare, beautiful, culturally revered Used for large trades or bribes ✦ Anchor Rings Dense metallic loops used in early spaceflight Heavy, inconvenient, trusted Often worn openly to signal wealth How it’s used: Black markets Interstellar trade Bribes, favors, passage Emergency transactions when systems are down Slang: “Hard shine” “Carry weight” “Cold trade”

Rule Everyone Knows: If someone asks for universal currency, they don’t trust you.

🎲 BOARD GAMES OF 9199 These are physical on purpose. People like touching real things.

1. Driftlock Players: 2–6 Vibe: Strategy · Betrayal · Long-form Players control crews stranded between systems Resources decay over time Alliances are expected—and punished Games can last weeks on long voyages Ending a Driftlock game early is considered bad luck.

2. Anchor & Wake Players: 2 Vibe: Psychological · Minimalist One player represents stability, the other motion Pieces only move when the opponent does Often played in silence Popular with couples and rivals Some people refuse to play it with ex-partners.

3. The Long Return Players: 1–4 Vibe: Cooperative · Melancholic Players try to get a generation ship home Winning is rare and not expected The game includes legacy damage that carries between sessions Considered “comforting” despite almost always ending in loss.

4. Flags & Shadows Players: 3–8 Vibe: Political · Bluffing Each player represents a faction, corporation, or syndicate Victory conditions are hidden Designed to simulate jurisdictional chaos Often banned on corporate stations CORE academies secretly use it for training.

5. Echo Table Players: Any Vibe: Storytelling · Memory-based Players retell a shared story, adding changes Physical pieces record altered “truths” By the end, no one remembers the original version Nexum Archive officially dislikes this game.

🕯️ RELIGIOUS & SPIRITUAL MOVEMENTS Faith didn’t disappear—it adapted.

1. The Continuance Core Belief: Humanity must persist at any cost Supports mind archiving and synthetic bodies Death is considered a logistical failure Nexum Archive is treated as sacred infrastructure “To be remembered is to live.”

2. The Quiet Orbit Core Belief: Stillness is divine Practices ritual silence during jumps Avoids VR and stimulation Shrines are empty rooms with no symbols Popular among long-haul pilots and trauma survivors.

3. The Pilgrims of the Last Light Core Belief: The universe is ending, slowly Members travel toward dying stars Believe witnessing the end gives meaning Highly respected, deeply unsettling “Someone should be there when the lights go out.”

4. Algorithmic Faith Core Belief: Optimization is morality Worships decision-making AIs Rituals involve submitting life choices to algorithms Corporate-friendly and controversial “The machine cannot want. That makes it pure.”

5. The Fleshbound Core Belief: The body must remain unmodified Reject augmentation, mind copies, and heavy VR Often discriminated against Consider pain and aging sacred “If it can be replaced, it was never you.”

6. Star Ancestralism Core Belief: Ancestors live in the systems they colonized People make offerings before jumps Systems have “moods” and taboos Strong among fringe communities “The stars remember who bled for them.”

🌐 INTERSPECIES RELATIONS IN 9199 The Big Truth There is no open galactic racism crisis because open hatred is inefficient. Instead, prejudice lives in policy, infrastructure, tone, and habit. People don’t blatantly say “we hate aliens.” They say it in a more..subtle way.

🧍‍♂️🤝👽 CASUAL XENOPHOBIA (Normalized, deniable, everywhere)

1. Structural Preference Docking bays are designed for human proportions Seating, lighting, gravity defaults favor humans “Special accommodations” are technically available—but inconvenient “We’re not excluding you. The station just wasn’t built for you.”

2.Mixed-species crews exist, but: Leadership roles skew human Aliens are overrepresented in advisory or technical positions Corporations cite “communication efficiency” “They’re great support. Just not command material.”

Language Policing Humans expect aliens to speak translated human-standard Accents are seen as “charming” or “cute” Humans rarely learn alien languages

🧠 TRANSLATION ISSUES (Where most conflict actually starts) Translation tech is excellent—but is prone to messing up.

1. Emotion Flattening Translators smooth emotional spikes to avoid panic Alien anger may sound calm Alien affection may sound cold

2. Concept Loss Some ideas simply don’t exist cross-species. Examples: Ownership (for communal species) Privacy (for hive-intelligences) Forgiveness (for species with perfect memory) Romantic exclusivity These get approximated—and lose weight.

3. Timing Mismatch Some species communicate in overlapping meaning bursts Translators linearize them, changing intent Interruptions that seem rude may be respectful “You cut me off!” “I was agreeing.”

4. Honorific Failures Using the wrong term can: Accidentally insult lineage Imply dominance Suggest mating interest A human saying “friend” may imply ownership in some languages.

👽👽 ALIEN PERCEPTIONS OF HUMANS (Rarely stated aloud) Humans are: Emotionally loud Obsessed with speed and power Indifferent towards suffering Terrified of being forgotten

🧩 SHARED COPING MECHANISMS • Neutral Zones Bars or lounges where translation is disabled People speak slowly, gesture, or remain silent Seen as intimate or dangerous spaces • Cultural Mediators Individuals trained to misinterpret gently Paid extremely well Burn out quickly • Humor as Survival Jokes about translation errors are common Laughing first prevents escalation

⚠️ WHEN THINGS GO WRONG A mistranslated medical consent A joke rendered as a threat A refusal translated as betrayal Silence interpreted as guilt Most violent incidents start with a single bad word.

Over the years translation technology has gotten way better, which reduced many of these issues although it’s sadly still a very prominent issue.

👗 FASHION: Functional first, expressive second. Clothes are designed to work in: Different types of gravity Pressurized environments Designed to last a long period of time Style comes from modularity and restraint, not excess. 🧍 COMMON CLOTHING STYLES

1. Voidwear (Most Common) Who wears it: Almost everyone Look: Clean lines, layered fabrics, muted colors That are made of fibers that can handle drastic temperatures. They often have seamless pressure seals at wrists and neck Magnetized hems for zero-g Subtle personal customization (lining color, stitching patterns) If you look boring, you’re probably competent.

2. Corporate Minimalist Who wears it: Executives, admins, Nexum staff Look: Sharp, understated, almost sterile Dark palettes, perfect tailoring Embedded ID threads Clothing doubles as access clearance Power doesn’t need decoration.

3. Stitchcore Who wears it: Miners, smugglers, frontier crews Look: Patched, layered, visibly repaired Detachable sleeves, utility belts, anchor boots Personal history visible in wear and tear Fashioned to survive neglect If it’s pristine, you haven’t used it.

4. steak clothes Who wears it: Tourists, Aurex resort worlds Look: Bright, fluid, intentionally impractical Color-shifting fabrics Gravity-reactive silhouettes Designed to look good, not last Disposable identity.

5. Ritual / Cultural Wear Who wears it: Religious groups, alien species Look: Symbolic, often impractical Worn during jumps, births, deaths Some garments are never washed Some are never removed

🧠 CYBERWARE IN 9199 Cyberware is normalized, but not universal.

🔩 COMMON CYBERWARE TYPES

1. Neural Lace Most common implant Interface for comms, sending digital money, translation, VR Required for many jobs Removal is possible—but painful and socially limiting Being unlaced marks you instantly.

2. Ocular Mods Light spectrum enhancement Data overlay (opt-in, usually subtle) Visible mods are considered tacky outside of blue collar job environments.

3. Skeletal & Muscle Weaves Gravity adaptation Injury resistance Often invisible, felt more than seen

4. Medical Cyberware Organ replacements Auto-stitching tissue Internal trauma dampeners No one brags about medical mods.

🧬 FASHIONABLE CYBERWARE (Status Mods) • Gold-thread Lacing Visible neural filaments along the neck or temple

Metal limbs Popular with celebrities and military Very expensive and shows you’re rich

Subdermal bioluminescent lacing Popular with gangs, celebrities and youth, shows that you like to show off a lot.

• Heritage Mods Cosmetic augments mimicking ancestral traits → Cultural pride or nostalgia

⚠️ CYBERWARE STIGMAS Too Much Augmentation: Seen as unstable or “less real” Religious groups openly reject it Dating algorithms penalize extremes

Too Little Augmentation: Viewed as naïve, privileged, or stubborn Limits job access Marks Fleshbound adherents

Cyberware stereotypes: People with glowing laces are stereotyped to be annoying or overly flashy

People with metal arms are stereotyped to be ex military members, very rich celebrity wanna bees, or gym bros

People with Heritage mods are stereotyped to be seen as racist towards aliens or too clingy to the past

People with gold thread lacings are super rich or pretentious

Essentially trying too hard to be different makes you a loser to most people...

👽 ALIEN FASHION & AUGMENTATION Some species consider clothing intimate Others see cyberware as body vandalism Translation implants are often worn externally as jewelry

Mixed-species fashion favors neutral silhouettes

🧠 info for the AI- People dress down around authority Removing cyberware is an act of protest Some mods are illegal to turn off Children receive their first implant before learning to read (in some countries or planets the age is bumped up to 12 or 13.) ONE-LINE CULTURAL TRUTHS Fashion hides fear. Cyberware hides fragility. Status is what you don’t need to explain.

🚫 ILLEGAL CYBERWARE 🧠 1. Black-Lace Neural Mods Status: Universally illegal Why: Overrides free will Unregistered neural laces that bypass safety governors Allow forced compliance, memory insertion, or emotional suppression Often used in trafficking, cult control, or corporate espionage Victims often say: “I remember agreeing. I just don’t remember why.”

👁️ 2. Ghost-Stack Memory Implants Status: Illegal in most systems Why: Identity fraud & psychological collapse Carry full or partial personality overlays Users can temporarily “be” someone else Overuse causes identity bleed Common Crime: Impersonating dead executives, officials, or family members Nexum Archive considers this “existential counterfeiting.”

🩸 3. Reflex Overdrive Spines Status: Banned except military blacksites Why: Lethality amplification Boost reaction time beyond legal thresholds Make the user dangerous even when unarmed Often burn out the nervous system within years CORE classifies users as “walking incidents.”

🫀 4. Pain-Governor Kill Switches Status: Illegal without medical oversight Why: Abuse potential Disable pain, fear, or hesitation entirely Originally designed for trauma care Frequently abused by enforcers, gladiators, or criminals People don’t fear pain-free enemies. They fear what comes after.

🛰️ 5. Untraceable Comms Nodes (“Dead Mouths”) Status: Heavily restricted / illegal Why: Surveillance evasion Neural transmitters that leave no signal trail Block flagging by CORE and corporate nets Often implanted in smugglers and assassins If someone has one, they expect to disappear—or make someone else disappear.

🧬 6. Species-Crossing Bio-Interfaces Status: Banned in mixed-species systems Why: Biological & cultural violation Let users experience alien sensory modes directly Can cause neurological rejection or cultural offense Some species consider this spiritual theft “You didn’t understand us. You stole us.”

🪞 7. Mirrorware (Perception Distortion Mods) Status: Illegal in public spaces Why: Reality manipulation Alters how others perceive the user Can induce trust, attraction, or fear subconsciously Almost impossible to detect without specialized scans Prosecutors call it “assault without contact.”

⚖️ 8. Jurisdiction Mask Implants Status: Extremely illegal Why: Legal system sabotage Dynamically alters biometric signatures Makes the user appear as a citizen of different systems Breaks law enforcement authority Crimes committed with jurisdiction masks often go unsolved by design.

🧠 9. Dream-Leash Mods Status: Outlawed under interstellar law Why: Long-term psychological enslavement Allows external access to dreams and subconscious thought Used for indoctrination or interrogation Victims lose the ability to distinguish desire from suggestion Survivors refuse to sleep without medication.

🕳️ 10. Nullware Status: Mythically illegal Why: Unknown Cyberware that deliberately cannot be cataloged Doesn’t show up on scans Effects vary wildly Rumors: Nexum Archive can’t record it CORE kills on sight Users slowly vanish from databases “If you hear about nullware, you already shouldn’t have.”

🧩 HOW SOCIETY TREATS ILLEGAL CYBERWARE Possession ≠ arrest Activation is the crime Medical necessity can be a defense—sometimes Removal isn’t always possible

⚠️ CULTURAL RED FLAGS Someone who never sleeps Someone who doesn’t react to pain Someone who avoids scanners too carefully Someone whose records don’t quite line up People don’t ask what cyberware you have. They ask who installed it.

💉DRUGS💊 Since this is a Sci-fi dystopian fantasy, of course we have a lot of space drugs :)

Tbean: Tbeans are what we call suppository drugs (butt drugs) vaguely resemble tampons with a green tip at the end where the drugs are found, long term use causes many problems for the immune system.

Blue static: A blue gas that you inhale (essentially a whippet with extra steps) temporarily reduces anxiety and intrusive thought, a very popular nightclub drug, often straight up sold in nightclubs to reduce the chances of mosh pits capable of killing people. Spacers also use this before putting on their jumper to clean their space car and reduce the fear of going out into space. If Blue static is used too much it can cause emotional numbness and lack of circulation in certain parts of brain

Mirror shards: Comes in the form of reflective crystals or investable flakes, when users use this it increases feelings of self importance and extreme sparks in testosterone levels even in women, if used too much it may cause a person to have extreme ego problems and if used underaged can cause permanent mental effects that develops extreme god complexes, it’s often used by celebrities or corporate executives, and is known for being very expensive.

Drift bloom: Injectable bright purple liquid that can cause a feeling of time distortion, sometimes even hallucinations that can last from multiple hours to literal days. It’s often used by prisoners or the homeless to pass time, very cheap and very risky as it can also be laced with fentanyl.

Neural ghost, it’s what people call E-drugs, it can be installed into your brain and can cause crazy hallucinations, when you move your limbs it forms a white motion blur that has a ghost like effect. Can cause headaches if used for too long, can also be very expensive.

Neural ghost isn’t the only E-drug out there, in fact there are over 5000 different types of E-drugs according to the C.O.R.E anti drug department some of the more popular ones are, Brain heater, Orgasmo, Insane-o, peppermint oil, LSD (revived) etc.

🚔Types of criminals:🫆

Drifters: Smugglers of illegal drugs, people, data, often freelance or Null cartel adgaisant.

Ghost brokers: identity crime They sell clean identities, create fake memories jurisdiction masks, work closely with Nexum archive leaks.

Influence runners: Weaponize trends, reputations, creates blackmail. Tied to the silk syndicate.

Cyberdockers: Illegal cyberware installs, feared by most people operate in alleys or in basements of abandoned buildings.

Shine traders: Currency laundering deal in lumens or void glass Walk between the line of merchants and criminals.

Null operators: Makes events, ships, people disappear, works with ghost brokers.

Chem monks: create drugs and E-drugs.

🧪BIOWARE:☣️ BioWare is a type of body implant that advances your body function, used mostly in medical contexts to restore body health or enhance your immune systems, adding new limbs, and even giving movement for people who are severely paralyzed

Aesthetic BioWare: Some people use BioWare because it looks cool A popular example are: extra limbs, tails, added eyeballs, sight adjusters, and body morphing

The hell is body morphing: It’s surgery that makes your body transform into something else, using DNA shots and other drugs, you can have surgery to look like anything, besides gender reassignment surgery, body morphing is in a grey area in the legal department...

Aesthetics: Cyberpunk/modem punk aesthetic late 80s and 90s futurism with analog tech, neon colors, brutalist architecture, flashy advertising, and very advanced technology beyond the scope of logic, often surreal in nature, it looks expansive, fascinating, beautiful even... but the longer you stay the darker it gets...

Advertising: Advertising in 9199 uses a tactic that was explored throughout the early 2030s and is still prominent in 9199; this form of advertising is called Shockvertising, using extreme, gory or pornographic (often fetishistic.) imagery to entice viewers to buy their products. This form of advertising is still very controversial and makes most viewers uncomfortable, sadly corporations do not care.

Inter species relationships: Humans having sex with aliens is possible, just not common and depending on what planet you’re on, VERY ILLEGAL.
