History and background

The world was colonized by vacuum miners who discovered Onnesium-118 on the planet. The lucky few who discovered sufficiently large deposits became billionaires and built grav-palaces, the rest reside within deep underground cities dreaming of finding the 'mother lode'. A social rank based on success determines privileges and responsibilities. Only successful miners can stand for governmental positions.
