@scarletvmitchell.bsky.social 's 5GC gets the most polite offers of trade for their superior food logistics for space travel. Especially if they're willing to sell methodology, the offers are generous. If 5GC is stubborn, they have a new war. (6/18)

So there are several stations in the 5GC and a whole fleet of Gravity Cruisers.
Stations are a main setting for the two drafted stories in this world, but a Cruiser will be the main setting for my next 5GC WIP.
There are a lot of stations. Most are planetary orbitals...

Good morning #Septopolis.
We had our familiarity sesh, now we get into what your chosen place will be.
Keep in mind that while the -polis implies a city, this can be flexible to meet your needs. However, please consider the SCALE of what your place is: too big might become too difficult.

@scarletvmitchell.bsky.social 's 5GC exists on such a massively greater scale to the DSO that they obviously could not threaten it, but the DSO's magic makes technology ALMOST useless if they have any warning, so the DSO could be annoying if the 5GC forces decide to pick on them-- (cont'd) (23/?)

Good morning, #Septopolis.
Feel free to tag your MythAugust if it applies here, but today's question is generally about the more "formal" guiding principles for this place, whether that be a structured religion or more philosophical path.
How does their practice impact their way of life?

Welcome to #Septopolis, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Let's start with some basics. To cover a wide range of settlement types, I've tried to phrase these prompts as generally as possible.
With that: what will you be talking about to either share or build fresh?
