Editing SCRPG Cosmic Tales/Setting (section)

== INITIAL NOTES ==

* Set in a fictional Milky Way galaxy, about 500 years in our future.
* Earth is one of many inhabited planets, but isn't "special" per se in the way it is portrayed in say Marvel's multi-verse.
* Lots of different sentient alien species.
* FTL travel and causality, but no relativity (from the line for Sci-Fi of "FTL, Causality, Relativity; pick 2")
* Technology has the "look and feel" of say High Republic Star Wars (just in terms of aesthetics)
* The galaxy is dominated by 3 major "powers".
** The Stellar Coalition (think kinda EU in space, but close to post scarcity society, democratic, protecting all sentient rights, providing food, shelter, clothing, healtcare and purpose are baked into the Coalition's laws - inspired by M&M's Cosmic Handbook a bit, and Lancer RPG a bit, and Star Trek's federation a bit);
**  The Prime Pontificate (think imperial/authoritarian polity with heavy religious trappings, a union of high tech and religiosity, inspired by Torg's CyberPapcy and Dreadstar's Theocratical Instrumentality; with a seasoning of Marvel's Technarchy)
** The Swarmriders (think a kind of galactic raiders society, multi-species, that's nomadic and violent; the Swarmriders cycle around the galaxy, and basically ravage the region of the galaxy they occupy for a few decades, then move on), clan based with no central leader per se, their movements are a kind of flocking behavior
