First landing took place 174 years ago, so the new society is fairly established, with one Colony ship (New Frontier) landing First on the capital world of Dawn. The second ship (Fool's Gambit) Landed in a different solar system, both worlds had the highest number of ancient temples of worlds discovered. As most scientific research has been centered on technology found in the temples most weapons and utilities are similar to earth but enhanced, though groundbreaking discoveries have been made in propulsion systems and shipbuilding allowing faster travel between the systems.

The Colonies are spread across 9 different worlds, 3 moons, in 4 solar systems.
While the tech is available to terr-form the process is lengthy so the more inhabited planets have higher oxygen and EE (earth equivalent levels). EE is also used to measure resource and livability levels. Dawn is EE 3. While Fool's Gambit is -EE2 (less then earth equivalent).
The Government is a bicameral representative democracy where each world or moon elects a representative for the first house, and each of the 4 systems elect a rep. for the second. The Carseti cartel leaders claim to be descendents of the officers of the Original Fool's Gambit, and where forced into serving the new government.
