DAGMAR SHEN

Dagmar Shen clocked its population at over a billion a long time ago. In the early days, a small joint settlement of industrial traders on B6-Han stumbled upon a wealth of natural resources so rich that the location has grown like a malignant tumour ever since. Now the beating heart of the South-Western Orbit, Dagmar Shen - sometimes colloqusalised as the Dag, or simply Dagmar - boasts near unmatched technological excellence and a powerful economy, however dirty the underpinnings. The sky is never seen between the skyscrapers, replaced instead by a dark, flat haze of steam and smog, the belly always underlit by the unsleeping glow of the city. The cultural patchwork has earned it nearly five official languages: Cantonese, Arabic, Hausa, English, and, though mostly unofficially, the blurred accent-dialect phenomenon known as Dag-speak.

Neela Consano, the incumbent Chair of the Dagmar Shen Unitary Authority, was elected to office some four years ago.

B6-Han

The dwarf planet upon which Dagmar Shen rests. It's rarely referred to as there's practically never need - the city is the face of the planet and only actual feature of relevance, and thus the formal numerical name was never actually replaced. The outskirts edge into a rural wasteland that sees little notice by any authority, save for that of the most ambitious property developers.

Shen minor

A controversy on many fronts. Green and verdant Shen Minor is technically bigger than B6-Han, but was terraformed into existence by shrewd investment from some of Dagmar's past tech oligarchs. Shackled on a close locked orbit to the capital, Shen Minor is a lush agricultural breadbasket created exclusively to supply and feed Dagmar Shen's massive and yet-growing population. As such, both the planet and the now large and established community that works there face a grim past, present and future of exploitation and little reward that has sparked a growing push for independence, overflowing, now, in some areas, into violence. Talk of military crack-downs have been eddying for a while now, stirred by Consano's veto of the lobby to independently rename the planet as the Lo Republic.

EARTH

We were orphaned many lifetimes ago, the remains of Earth too burned, too drowned, too choked with radioactive ash to sustain her creations any longer. The Lunar civilisation still looks up to her as it orbits, drawing to a halt the last day of every year to hold a day of silent, spectacular parades in mourning for our mother planet, but she now otherwise floats dark and untouched, a storm-ravaged graveyard too poignant for the Empire to now disturb. Private attempts have been made to venture back, but little has come of them.

THE DSMA

The Dagmar Shen Military Academy. Not the largest of them all, but certainly large enough to give the Empire an excuse to keep a strong and watchful presence in the city. The Academy campus grounds are boastfully sprawling, highly secure and to the north of the dense city centre, with the slick and simple barrack towers spread across the surrounding district. These often subject to residential complaints - an infamous local adage is that the one difference between a junior soldier and a common criminal is that only the latter ever gets punished.

NEO-RELIGIONS

Despite a brief upsurge in religious conversion following The Blinding, secularity has exploded with humanity's dispersion throughout the stars, held by their belief in technology and synthetics instead of the hand of a god. But religion has most certainly survived, and doggedly at that; the Abrahamics have seen revolution after revolution, untold numbers of evangelicals, extremists and splinter groups, but each have retained a core 'neo' sect that has survived the void relatively unswayed. They share far more enemies, these days - they often (and near jointly) lead the forefront of the charge against life-prolonging (and speculative restoring) technologies, artificial births, new-wave drugs and countless other affairs of 'unnatural' science. Neo-Catholicism, in particular, has a strong hold upon certain Orbital Chairs and, as some bitterly theorise, their finances. Their presence in Dagmar Shen in the South-West Orbit is fierce, interplanetary hub of technological industry and innovation as it is, but it is also relatively small.

Spirituality has filled some of the gaps traditional faith has left behind, though the manifestations are innumerably diverse; the last century, for one, has seen inspiration from old Buddhism slowly seep back into favour. But the stars are vast, the number of people between them equally so. Who could possibly count the number of prayers said now, and to whom? Who knows what churches sing out there?
