The novel of disco would literally begin at the mods end. When gallia conquered everything and there a one sector government or core worlds government.
basically since everything unified for about a hundred years it makes humanity completely ripe for a two sided conflict. the omicrons factions would be constantly trying to survive the cores expansions into space.
The sector unified 100 years ago when all the houses surrendered. None of the house governments took over.. instead its a parliament of the wealthiest corps, mostly gallic to start. over time roughly 50 years in the church of all worlds find representation of the government and their followers begin "altering" mankind for the better.
The poor are juiced and worked to death to feed the rich who are literally made immortal with the help of a little st abilene plus (which is regular cardamine farmed on malta which is literally a slave world). because of the vast amount of environmental and economic abuse of the core worlds a whole subset of mutated humans emerge and are exploited as a slave class.
Cardamine fixes mutations.. the poor think stabilene plus is a cure for their mutation and rebellion occurs. setting the stage of act 1.
Class wars continue on the inside as the hero.. another freelancer.. more like a freelancer hobbiest cause hes a rich kid sees how the planets in "the zone" are exploited and used up and how everyone thinks areas outside the zone are filled with aliens that will kill them.
Act 2 finishes with the realization Xerna, the wilde, all the horrors of the previous century in unexplored space arent even there anymore.. mostly destroyed or abandoned..
act 3 hero finds an old mutated guy on omicron kappa which is still alive. old guy saves him from radiation sickness and tell him the story of history the "apocalypse" as it where.
The nomads and wilde waited patiently as their subversive cells worked on humanity to unite it under one symbol and banner. giving the richest the power over the spoils of the gallic war immortalized charles de gaulle despite him dying shortly after declaration day. the idea of "unity" was put in place bringing all the planets and houses together to feed the starving and treat the sick and dying.
for about ten years it was good.. then human engineering kicked in.. the poor were more or less left alone but those in higher elements of society got the best technology implants and genetic engineering.
This was until the elite had mind powers.. abilities of telekinesis and basicly the intrinsic abilities of nomads.
Hero disbelieves it at first but elements of act 1 and 2 will show instances where the people in charge would make people forget.. or mind control those who disobey them.
They both return for the climactic reveal SOON the hive mind would reappear and take control of the genetic foster children man created for it and a new Daam kvosh empire would awakened from its planned extinction and revival to take over a much easier to conquer galaxy.
Old mutant guy turns out to be old hybrid saves kid hero from killing himself to stop it by sacrificing himself to put the hive back to sleep for another 100 years..
