“Within each species there are big gangs and small gangs, kriminal heroes and evildoers, saintly kriminals and maniac kriminals, kriminal legends and upstarts, kriminals too stupid to live and kriminals too smart for their own good…” - KUSH KAT, INFO DROP 3.1677.D

Home of Humanity & EarthGov. Humans are both under threat and stronger than ever – alien and robot life forms have diminished humanity's status, but reignited its ambitious, enterprising spirit EarthGov is the unity federation of Earth-based nations. Habitable zones on Earth are decreasing, resulting in an aggressive push for space colonies. The KUTI SPACEPORT in Kenya is the main transit center to Mars, and the main route for kush smugglers.
Location of the Tower Cities, Reality Corp. HQ, & Hub of the Kush Game. Mars is a “Casablanca” colony where all species mix freely, and is also where The Kush Game is centered. This is where all the action goes down! The Tower Cities were originally built by EarthGov. Each tower has an average population the size of Manhattan, with the biggest being 200 stories high, & 10 city blocks wide. The cities are connected by blimps and tunnels, & sealed against the harsh atmosphere and radiation. Mars is also the headquarters for Reality Corp., a human-founded omni-corporation led by a mysterious messiah figure, who may be entirely virtual. Reality Corp. was awarded a 10-year contract to run the Mars colony by EarthGov (and a secret contract for exclusive mining rights to KSH). The only law enforcement on Mars are SHOOK TROOPS, Reality Corp's privatized security service.
Home of the “THE KUSH FIELDS,” the only known source of KSH in the system. KSH is a particle that was created at the birth of our solar system, 4.6 billion years ago. The Asteroid Belt between Mars & Jupiter is the only known place to find KSH, and harvesting it is extremely dangerous. Mystical scientists known as Alkemists refine KSH into kush, and each strain produces a different transformation or evolution. Some strains are more rare & valuable than others, with new strains appearing all the time. Kush can be used with a variety of different futuristic devices.
Jupiter’s Moons - Base of the Robot Machine Dynasty Descendants of machines built by humans to explore space, the first AI became sentient when it discovered kush. Based inside a network of servers on the moons of Jupiter, but using robot bodies to interact with the physical galaxy, they call their species THE MACHINE DYNASTY. KRANK CITY, on the moon of Ganymede, is their physical outpost.
“In one hour on the chaotic streets of Mars, you can share noodles with humans, Dracos, and robots, before witnessing them stab each other in the back. You can see the newly rich flaunt their wealth while the newly fallen struggle to get by. You can get caught in laser fire, or be struck by the beauty of neon plumes of atmosphere. Legends are born and killed every thirty seconds. Vert car chases, and crashes, are a daily occurrence. Stay frosty.” - KUSH KAT, INFO DROP 2.1007.B

Under the MOSAIC TREATY, all species are prevented from colonizing the system any further, but all species are still allowed to travel and live freely on Mars. The Mosaic Treaty is controversial, and fragile. Even a tiny ripple in the kush game could end up destroying peace in the galaxy.
Home of the Draco aliens and their dominant kriminal gang: The Indica Syndicate. Pluto is the Draco’s sole local colony…so far. And home to the Trans-System Wormhole Portal. They arrived in our system 15 years ago.
(50 Million Light Years Away)
Home system of the Dracos. Travel between our system and their home planet is conducted via a wormhole that only their species is allowed to use.
