History & Background[edit]

More than eight hundred separate planetoids have populations in excess of five million, yet only one -- Gamov Prime -- has a population as great as 100 million. This dispersal serves to undercut feelings of crowding and tension, allowing the smoothing of ruffled feathers before violence can erupt.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility[edit]

Gamov, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

World Culture[edit]

Males handle politics between settlements, while females handle economic and family matters within the communities (and maintain unofficial quasi-political ties between settlements).
