Describing Sundog’s universe

Driving principles :
-	no need to be realistic
-	do not spend to much effort making everything logical
-	do not give to much details, so that we can develop it later in the direction we need

Information from the prologue of the manual:
Hero: name = Zed (official name), specie = Human
Jondd is purple (...)
Rithans control economy, they are red and double mouthed

My suggestion :

Philosophy :
Humorous and sarcastic world.

3 main species :
- Humans : weak stupid greedy 
- Rithans : slow strong intelligent greedy
- Woremedians : small quick greedy

Humans breathe oxygen, Rithans sulfur, Woremedians both gases and more.

The stars in the sector are close (much more than in the solar system).

Example of History of the sector

The only specie to be there before was Woremedians.
They were in a medieval tech level. Woremedians learn fast, but they do not live long. They try to enjoy life as much as possible. They can unite, but for very short terms. Their society is not law driven, and is not stable : it is in a “dynamic equilibrium”.
A millenary ago, humans came with their spaceships, and this was a mess, but woremedians resisted, part because human clans were unable to join forces against them: they absorbed human technology extremely quickly, and each time some human clan decided to erase them and steal their planet, an other one would help them secretly, hoping to exhaust the clan’s forces.
Eventually, at –700, the Ferr system won the war, uniting with some humans and with Woremed, resulting in the unification of the whole Sector.
Ferr had a lot of metallic natural resources, but is not a nice place to live in. Therefore, the power decided to move to Glory. Glory had several advantages : two planets suited to humans could live in, several biological natural resources. Terraformation of the third planet of Glory began. Glory began trade with other sectors of the galaxy.
Five centuries ago, Rithans came in. Rithans and humanity met at –5000 in an other place of the galaxy and a complicated History relates them. Now, they are in peace with humans in some sectors of the galaxy, and in war in other sectors.
In the game’s sector, they slowly and peacefully integrated, beginning with trade. They settled on Enlie and began it’s Rithanformation. They managed to take key positions in the society, especially in glory. Racism began to grow.
At –300, Glory tried to erase Rithans. Enlie was badly hurt by a surprise attack.
Other sectors decided to stop trade with Glory (blocus). Therfore, Glory decided to end the war at –200. Now all species collaborate but relations are ambiguous.

Present

In the game’s sector, no specie like the other. However, Glory’s actual power, under the pressure of other sectors, promotes tolerance. In practice, trade helps cohabitation.
Most woremedians live on Woremed, but many spend at least a year in their life working on other planets.
Rithans are terraforming a new planet in the sector.
On average
90% of the other planet’s population is humans.
5% Wormedians
5% Rithans
Glory’s government has quotas, and is thus 1/3 human, 1/3 Rithan, 1/3 Woremedians.
