4000 years in the future.

  • Augmentation

    How broad is the definition of a human being? When do we cease to be human and become something else entirely? Here is a universe where technological and biological augmentation are common, but established norms around their implementation are not.

  • Utopia, undermined

    The many worlds of the Sovereignty are a self-described golden age of an enlightened people under the singular flag of Caretaker, the ruling AGI hive mind, but their gentle peace is threatened by a truth they cannot shake.

  • Hard Science Concepts

    Orbital Mechanics, light speed delay, thrust and specific impulse, delta-v. If these concepts excite you, you’ll find plenty to love in Edge of Eden.

  • Benevolent Synthetic Intelligences

    Are you tired of evil AI? Who is installing red LEDs in their eyes which inevitably turn on when they go bad? The universe of the Sovereignty is a post-singularity and post-scarcity society where Artificial General Intelligence is on our side.

  • Galactic Civil War

    The Colonial Wars of Attrition were a ‘bottlenecking’ event in human future-history. Disarmament marked the end of 500 years of bloody conflict and the beginning of the golden age, but old grudges remain, and some tools of war are still around.

  • Technological Resurrection

    The artificial moon, Eden, was established for the most ambitious project in human history, the mass resurrection of the dead. Millions have already been brought ‘out of the dark’ to rejoin the universe, but some things were better left in our past.
