Editing Stars Without Number: Back in Black (section)

=== Sisters ===

This system contains the worlds of Antillia, Thoth, and Utu.  All three are earthlike worlds with a TL of 0 or 1, depending on what part of the planet you land on.  They tend to be plagued by voracious megafauna, which have never been successfully wiped out due to the large areas of wilderness.  None have a unified planetary government, or even a body of governments.  These three were clearly terraformed worlds, and their biospheres are simply not that old.  As such, they lack the fossil fuels that would have allowed them to maintain or increase their tech levels without support.  Each planet has at least one civilization that kept records and remembered.  On each world, there were at least a few who had read the oldest books, and knew that their people had not come from there, and that there might be other humans out among the stars.  On Antillia, the common language among the most educated is Spanish.  On Thoth, it is Afrikaans.  On Utu, it is Arabic.  These were the languages that the oldest books had been written in.  So, while they may have been dead languages at the time contact was re-established, they were quickly made use of.  In all three cases this resulted in the most advanced culture on the planet being the point of contact with starfaring civlization, but since each world has something like a billion people on it, that isn't an overwhelmingly large contact to have.

The State is currently trying to slowly unify these worlds under a single government per planet, preferably one that is under State control, without having a humanitarian disaster or otherwise completely losing control of the situation.

This presents much different challenges to those of the Golden Empire.  The Empire is unified, but has a powerful and cunning leadership who oppose the State's hegemony.  The Sisters have no unification, but also no organized or unified opposition.  It is largely a case of playing one faction against another faction of the same planet, but not doing so with such vigor that the grav tanks have to come out to prevent a crime against humanity.  It's like walking a tightrope with a balancing pole occupied by angry cats.

Dealing with worlds such as these is stretching the resources of the State in a way that the Golden Empire doesn't, and the State presence in this system is arguably much too thin.
