Fives

Fives (singular Five) is a term for anybody from a society background and is associated with old blood and old money.

Description / Specifications

The term "Five" specifically relates to those families who can trace their lineage back to the very first humans to settle in the Distant Fringe.

The name derives from the 55,000 original humans aboard the Last Armada – purebreds, not a Gen, a common everyday person whose earliest ancestors were grown in GenPods and raised by Hoppers – and the presence of those ancestors in the Distant Fringe during Year One (2255AD), the date of the first ever domestic agricultural harvest. Fives originating on Tal Varisa , the site of that harvest, are considered more elite still.
