[@Arawak] Allright, I am trying to work on something now :)
Just a physics sidenote, you say that the Splinters are "used to lower gravity environments" yet originate from "dense cigar shaped world which rotates incredibly rapidly". That does not make much sense, because more rotation = more gravity. So if the world would be rotating super fast, the gravity there would be much stronger than on other worlds. The stations in scifi movies (ie in Elysium) are usually shaped like toroid to some point - if they would stop rotating, there would be 0 gravity. If they would rotate too fast, everything living on them would be crushed.
