Alright, we've got thirteen days to go, and we're 48% funded. I'm seriously hoping for another big push towards the end.

I also thought I'd talk about one of the features of the Para-Imperium setting, the Core Cultures. The Federation was founded as an alliance of three star systems, the Core Worlds, populated by the descendants of four colony ships that had left the Solar system 800 years previously. These Core Worlds then used the Federation's wormholes to spread out and establish new colonies in dozens of star systems.
While Game Masters (or "Referees" in Traveller parlance) are encouraged to develop their own star systems and planets, the majority of worlds in the setting are populated by some combination of those Core Cultures. They will be detailed more in later updates, but for now I'll summarize each of them.
Pallene: Hailing from New Pallas in the Alpha Centauri system, the Pallene developed the matter conversion and wormhole technologies that enabled the Federation to be built. Their democratic ideals were undermined by the influence of their Great Houses, however.
Cetans: From the Tau Ceti system. Formerly a feudal society divided into different species-based clans, Pallene influence led them to establish a constitutional monarchy but after the Collapse they've begun to backslide.
Eridani: A vast corporation from Epsilon Eridani whose company colonies have managed to persist after the loss of galactic trade. When they don't fall to disenfranchised employee revolts.
Neo-Vestan: Historical revisionists who idolize the extinct culture of the second colony ship to settle Alpha Centauri. Their clone armies have taken advantage of the Collapse to seize many colonies out of a desire for "revenge" against the Pallene and their Federation.
