Right so, I'm going to see about establishing some things here real quick and then see about editing the CSs to show more info on the chars

So,

Right off the bat we need to establish that the Imperium owns 75-80% of the Galaxy. There's no going past the borders of it - at least not yet. It's run by the Empress, Her Majesty Aling Emilu III. Next in line for the throne is Crown Prince Latel Emilu II. The Imperium grants nobility, but it is not easily gained. And while the significance of such is lessened outside the Imperial Borders - it still carries a great amount of weight.

Aliens should be sufficiently alien, with some homages to good ol' tropes - for instance the lizard people (Skaylids - Governed by the Broodmother), the slime people (kw'Vrh - led by the Elder Commune), and the beast (the furry kind, not the scaly kind) people (Theriae - The Hand of Hayte, led by Obit Hayte XXVI). Those are just three I wouldn't mind playing in the same universe as.

I'd also like Factions to play a part - Obviously there's the Imperium, the Skaylids' Brood, the kw'Vrhian Collective, and the Theriae Society. But on top of that, you've got some other major organizations - Coporations working either under or outside of the Imperial Jurisdiction (MentaCORP [Legitimate, has a business permit from the Imperium and regularly pays taxes] - Leading researchers in neurology, psychology, and other neurological whatsits), Large-Scale Organized Crime Groups (like the Crimson Barony, rumoured to be led by an actual Baron), Warlords looking to gain power in conquest (The People's Glorious Resistance Movement - a 'freedom' fighter ragtag militia), Imperial Departments - Such as Department 1C (1=Imperial Delegation, C=Public Relations) maybe wanting us to help push a point by leading a revolt, thereby allowing them to utilize martial law and get things under their command again.  

the PGRM doesn't really have a big foothold in Nerus, seeing as how communism panned out better for them. But the PGRM is lead by an opportunistic interplanetary warlord who will exploit any opening if it allows him even an iota of power more than he had before. If Nerus just got put of a war or other stressful engagement, the PGRM would be on scene damn near immediately to 'offer aid' - read; spread propaganda. And as for the pilot he'd probably have to start out somewhere like 'bellhop' or whatever you call the people who handle baggage, and that'd be his 'in' to the piloting thing.

Theriae are beastpeople. Not just canine manifestations but also feline, porcine, bovine, equine, etc
-also skaylids are more like argonians, or conspiracy theorist reptilians. They dont really trust humans because humans aren't part of their brood - skaylids have a minor racial superiority complex, inside of the whole of the skaylid there are warbands who have tensions between them, but if an outside race ever fucked with their turf, they'd gang up and fuck 'em over

and humans view them with distrust because they're slimy and scaly and they're not human.

The Theriae are the most psychologically like humans, they're what humans would be if they wore the flesh of an animal.@murasaki

There that should cover any questions posed by local bystanders.
