With the discovery of the slipdrive and the connections between disparate solar systems, humanity has undergone a great Diaspora. But there will be no vast, eternal Empire, ruled from ancient Earth. Over time, slipknot connections fade and fail. They shift and recombine. This has created an infinite number of Clusters - five or ten star systems, connected to one another...and no one else.
This is the...
You are the Secretary-General of the United Nations, called to unite humanity and raise it to the stars, escaping its dying cradle.
For all that, idealism is not the way of diplomacy. You have many people to please if you want them to do what you want, and the spacefaring powers in particular should be showered with attention if they are to shoulder the costs of space colonization. Will you be able to juggle the many problems that your administration will face? Will you colonize space in the...
