How would your characters describe their community or communities?

- Union worlds: multi species cultures.
Unified by necessity, mildly enlightened, compassionate, the positive outweighs the negative, a force for the right thing to do.
More than the sum of its parts.
Near Utopian, yes that's a statement many people on the inside would use, outsiders would say pretentious, arrogant, elitist, expansionist, especially Terrans. Which are views Mondira tries to change.

- Rim worlds:
Free, diverse, personal, self sufficient, progressive but cautious about 'traditional values' and their replacements. The proof of resilience.

For outsiders it's more like an unorganized, chaotic patchwork of individualist focused groups, that cling to the worst tendencies multiple species came up with.
A mostly unshackled capitalism driven, unstable conglomerate of nightmares, including Kingdoms, 'Free Democratic Republics', Autocratic states, might makes right societies.

Something Mondira has to deal with regularly, after all one of this 'nightmares' is her homeworld (Eodin).

- The Union's Alliance.
The active protection of Union and non Union worlds alike.
The active force on fighting back the Eltaryn. Peace makers.
Something Mondira supports wholeheartedly & in good faith.

For Outsiders? Expansionist, Military indoctrination forces, colonial invaders & wannabe missionaries.
That's what Mondira's mother would say, her father just hopes she returns safe, sane and healthy.

Tell us about a character who has a secret. (Optional: drop hints and allow others to guess the secret.)

I already dropped hints in parts of the answers I gave here. Beginning as soon as I started to answer Prompts back in 2023 and since ongoing.

I have similar clues in the story planned and already written. So it will be a secret until I have released the Story's part in which it becomes relevant.

Sadly I am unable to provide any further inside along who the character is, because AJ would most likely be send after me to stop telling Union/Rim secrets that AI doesn't want to go out. But I tell you so much that it is in both Star Ryde and the Star Ryde: Self Insert Alternate Romance Universe.

By the way I need opinions. What do you think should a ship called the Red Herring be? A freighter or a shuttle?

SC POV: If you could communicate with the dead, who would you chat with?

Silas Crosby: As much as I would love to see my late husband again or talk to them I wouldn't. AI programming to create a husk of a loved one, that is build to sound like them, is a toxic betrayal, aimed at vulnerability of people that lost someone & luckily outlawed in the Union. The dead are dead and part of grieving is to learn to keep the memories and plant them around the hole they left in your heart."

Mondira Ramann falling into kinda slurred speak pattern that is usual on Eodin: "What dy'ou meen, ifi cood?" She opens a Menu on her Holo that looks like an installation folder. "Here I stopd'er, that's GrA.nnI. the A.I. of my Bignana." Ifi ever feel 'lone i could ask'er or tawk to'er well at home.
With more sharp pronounciation: The Alliance counts such A.I.s a security ➡️
