History
Pre Galactic War
Before the Galactic War, there was a feeling of infinite expansion across the unknown universe, of Manifest Destiny. New worlds were being colonized and populated at an amazing rate.
Many of the older people had no desire to leave there native soil of Earth and many families were separated as sons and daughters sought a new life away from the prejudices, overcrowding and pollution on Earth. An occasional few even found that life.
The reality on some planets was not as bright. Many people were loaned money for seats on flights to specific planets, but were indentured servants and sometimes treated as little more than slaves upon arrival. Many people died in mining operations or during other duties, or were even sold as slaves to pay there debt. People were forced to purchase necessary goods and services and huge cost, in a very intentional effort to keep the people in a "legitimate" debt. Color, Race, Creed, Religion did not matter. If you were beautiful or youthful, you were a personal servant and sometimes worse, everyone else was put to labor doing whatever there was need to do.
Police and government were the last to find these infractions. Often times there effort was a 'too little, too late' kind of reaction. Official bribery and other forms of control were very effective on these isolated worlds. By the time the United Planets got its act together and began to take serious action, the Galactic War began and all focus on these issues was dropped.
During the Galactic War
