The Orbitals:
Who are the Orbitals?
The orbital population is mainly composed by "conscientious objectors" from Leeds that refused to be conscripted to fight against Gallic troops and unemployed citizens who refused to relocate their homes outside Bretonian traditional borders like Planet Gran Canaria or Planet Sprague. Since they refused to follow such protocols, that group of citizens rendered without legal citizenship. Additionally some other small collectives like immigrants and political exiles have joined them in their new life.

The war between Bretonia and Kusari starts. |
815 | Some maverick parties organize an assembly in order to find an alternative to the migration outside Bretonia, they conclude that they will remain within Bretoanian borders and will work to be accpeted as a "normal" citizens in Planet New London or Planet Cambridge.
Most of those newcomers from Leeds that have a ship refit them to make room for the new waves of war refuges arriving from Leeds front. |
816 | First Orbitals arrive at Cambridge system, looking for comodities being needed at New London's "orbital camps" The Orbitals spreads even more throught Bretonian house. Some of them even settle Cambridge Orbit, but BPA proceed to evict such newcomers. |
817 | The war between Bretonia and Gallia starts. Kusari and Bretonia sign peace. |
818 | Those who refused to leave Bretonia to Planet Sprague realize that Bretonian crown don't have planned to let them be citizens at Cambridge or New London. A loophole is found in Bretonian codex by a civil rights professor from Cambridge, seems that orbitals will have a chance to remain within Bretonia borders, even if this means become space citizens instead of live in Planets. |

The Orbital way of life
Is in 818 when a Bretonian Lawyer called Mathew Halle discovered a loophole in the Bretonian laws. Such loophole can be found in Bretonian codex regarding to the Planet and space definition. Meanwhile a "Planet" as a lawful concept is a space entity with mass and it's breathable atmosphere, the "space" is described as all the volume outer to space entities, including breathable or not atmosphere. In none of this two definitions the lawyer couldn't found a legal "owner" rendering the unbreathable part of an atmosphere, considered independent in terms of citizenship.When this new travelled around the Neural-net were more than one refuge and immigrant who deployed it's home in this places taking advantage of a protected place and low but natural gravity while, at the same time, abstaining to wait for a legal citizenship. During some years a couple of trials and judgements have failed in favor of the Bretonian house, making again, some communities without legal defence and forcing them to be refuges again, in the best of cases.
In mid 818 several "orbital" communities from different secotrs take conscience of each other again and build a common neural-net and a lawyer section in order to defend their mutual interests, trying to regain it's right to live in peace. Meanwhile the community started to work as a syndicate helping vessels of all kind to unload and load cargo from local bases to ships or from ships to docking rings. Some of them have really developed great logistic skills.While the Bretonian Crown, have planned to "clean" this "problem" the Orbitals have earned some trust among the captains of merchant vessels so that now this community is being to be seen as a necessary cheap labor force. Additionally to this, Bretonian citizens knows that the most part of Orbital population comes from Leeds, rendering almost impossible to extradite that community since this could generate several civilian riots.
A different society - The Floating districts
Those districs are like small autonomous towns. Towns with an economy, a population (sometimes with a unique accent), it's manners, it's mayor ... In a bigger scale, the floating districts form a net of small communities conncected via a common neuralnet.
