All I have to say for this page: god bless the perspective tools in CSP 💀

KISMET Lore dump: The Verge Worlds are governed by the Hegemony--a loosely unified coalition of the largest city-states within the Verge.  These city-states are each lead by an Executor, and the 14 Executors within the Hegemony form the Conclave.  Theoretically, anyone can become an Executor, though the cost of paying the Conclave's yearly dues makes attaining this position an impossibility to all but the wealthiest and best-connected individuals.  Though this practice has drawn criticism from the Republic (who claim that the Verge Worlds are governed by oligarchs), many citizens within the Verge Worlds agree that using wealth to surpass social barriers offers them greater social mobility and freedom than they would be afforded in the Old Worlds.

Phaedra’s gettin the d!

I know that I'm always geeking over your lore dumps but HERE I GO AGAIN. I would PAY to listen to/read about how you put this world together. All the socio political layers. The similarities to the real world and other worlds we know and love but also totally and uniquely your own. I'm really interested in finding out if there's actual opportunities for social mobility in the Verge Worlds or is it the appearance of the possibility with many many roadblocks that very few "normal" citizens manage to overcome.

She's very liberal with her affections!! 🤣

Oh man--I wish I had a more coherent explanation for how I put this setting together other than, "I've been thinking about this universe for over a decade, and it's been *heavily* shaped by the events of the world in the past 10-15 years"!! A for whether there's *actually* opportunity for upward social mobility in the Verge: there is! Sort of. If you have money, you can do almost anything you want--the looseness of the alliance between city-states in the Verge means that even criminal activity can be very hard to prosecute. (I'll be going into the culture of the Verge worlds in the next few pages, so stay tuned for more Lore Dumps!! Or just ask me anything you want to know haha 🤣)

She, Elva and Selene are in the same club it's ok!

Elise

Difficulty prosecuting crimes?! Does this mean there are vigilantes and bounty hunters? Maybe even space cowboys?! I literally want to ask everything all the time but there's a whoooole story ahead of us so I'll be patient and keep eating up every piece of info you give us lol

Jaki

Yes indeed--militia, vigilantes, and bounty hunters in the Verge are all commonly referred to with the umbrella term "Enforcers," and are officially sanctioned by the Hegemony! In practice, this means that they're widely able to pursue their quarry (some might say "victims") in the Verge with impunity. (Also: I always love answering your questions about the lore of the Perseus system!! You always have the most thoughtful commentary 💖)
