World Overview
A distant rimworld where survivors from countless crashes struggle to endure.
Technology is fragmented, morality is flexible, and survival often demands terrible choices.
Empires enforce order through force, while rebels, tribes, and outcasts fight to protect what little remains human.
There are no clean victories here — only consequences.
Geography & Nations
The world is divided into scattered settlements rather than true nations.
Ruined cities, harsh biomes, orbital wreck sites, and forgotten research facilities shape travel and conflict.
Power lies not in borders, but in who controls resources, technology, and people.
Races & Cultures
Humans dominate the Rim, but are far from unified.
Cultures range from advanced imperial citizens to tribal survivors, gene-modified colonists, and machine-touched outcasts.
Each culture has its own taboos, values, and definition of survival.
Magic & Religion
What many call magic is in truth psionic ability, bio-engineering, or forgotten technology.
Only a few can wield it safely, often at great physical or mental cost.
Religions exist, but most worship survival, ideology, or ancient machines rather than gods.
Historical Ages
The Rimworld has seen multiple failed settlement waves.
Each age ended in collapse — war, AI revolts, or environmental disaster.
Ruins, forgotten bunkers, and broken machines still shape the present.
Economy & Trade
Trade is driven by scarcity.
Food, medicine, weapons, fuel, and technology are more valuable than currency.
Most settlements barter, while larger factions use credits backed by power rather than trust.
Law & Society
Law is enforced unevenly across the Rim.
Imperial regions follow strict codes backed by force, while outer settlements rely on local rules, favors, or survival-based justice.
Adventurers are seen as necessary evils — protectors, smugglers, mercenaries, or troublemakers, depending on who you ask.
Monsters & Villains
True monsters are rare.
Most threats come from humans, failed experiments, rogue machines, or psionically altered creatures.
Villains are often former survivors who chose power over compassion.
