In the last few years of the twenty-fifth century, Humanity has spread among the stars, claiming exactly 237 planets in scores of different systems. Most diseases have been eliminated by both advanced medicine and genetic engineering on a very slight level. The average life expectancy is 117 for men, 120 for women. Human Space is fractured, divided into five factions, with a few planets, 13, being strong enough to remain independant. Faster than light travel is now a reality, and a trip from one end of Human Space to another takes little more than a few weeks.
