I've compiled together various bits from email about probable setting of the game. It is pretty much all up to you players as to what we do or where we go. The only thing I won't do is cyberpunk genre really - because I find it too grim and repetative (too much like dungeonbashing) - and I've done a lot of roleplaying in that genre already. So if you've got new or interesting suggestions - or just really want to see something - let me know.

A vague plot arc and background details for running a series of senarios in a universe inspired by Iain M Banks Culture books. Ultra-ultra high tech. The characters come from a society that builds planets and has an anti-prime directive. (We know best and should interfere to save you from yourselves).

http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/local-group/frameset.html - The Local group campaign. A campaign universe set over a thousand years in the future, the Local Group chronicles a small (400 star system) colony separated from the great Human Empire. The campaign is set 500 years after the last one-way shipment arrived from the old Empire. Locked in a civil war, with rebellions springing up in the border worlds, and an unknown but hostile alien race making an appearance, there is plenty of room for a variety of campaigns.
