1) The Galaxy (1
The Milky Way Galaxy – According to modern researchers, this is as far as humanity will explore for centuries, perhaps even millennia. Much like how in ancient times humans were confined to a single planet for millennia, and then for a single star system for centuries after that. It brings a shiver of pain just thinking that you’re descended from anything that comes from that star system.
However, just because we can’t easily explore outside of the Milky Way doesn't mean that we haven’t colonized every last damned cubic centimetre in our galaxy, with a total of forty trillion inhabited worlds, each one with, on average, five billion people. That’s a total of two septillion people in this galaxy. That’s the number two, followed by twenty-one zeroes. Kinda makes you feel insignificant, doesn't it?
Many historic approximations of Drake’s Equation have turned out to be wrong – No, there’s not twenty thousand sentient civilizations in the Milky Way. No, there’s not a hundred. No, there’s not twenty. No, there’s not even two. If there ever were any other sentient lifeforms in this galaxy, they’re long gone now. Humans have colonized nearly every damned planet, and we eagerly await the opportunity to colonize the several thousand that have yet to be claimed.
2) The Economy (2
The economy of the Milky Way Galaxy is Credits. It is a computerized, electronic currency, recognized universally (galactically, at any rate) amongst people in the Milky Way. Credits are used for everything, from buying a chocolate bar to renting twenty thousand square kilometres on the surface of a star – Of course, the prices are different by a magnitude of about a dozen.
If you don’t want to say that you spent several billion credits, it is also common to use metric prefixes. For instance, rather than spending seven billion credits on this new, state-of-the-art spaceship, you can just spend seven gigacredits.
Now that we have currency down, the economy is a complex thing – As can be expected when it is comprised of more people than there are cells in the human body, scattered among a number of planets that far exceeds the number of people that can be on an individual planet. Needless to say, people prefer to think of themselves as a figure of at least semi-importance amongst the members of their city rather than an easily replaceable person amongst septillions of people, with an easily replaceable job in an unimportant part of the Galaxy.
There’s also a class system, though it’s evolved since the ancient times when people lived only on a single planet (that damned hellhole Earth). It’s not just a simple upper class, middle class and poor. No, there’s a class for every single order of magnitude of monthly pay, with C1 covering 90% of the population, C2 being 9%, C3 being 0.9% and so forth. The “C” stands for class, though sometimes for Credits-per-month, and the number, while referring to the logical progression of the order of the class of people, can also refer to the number of digits on their monthly paycheck.
Be warned, though, that while C5 may sound like something that many people get to nowadays, there’s a very real chance of getting to a class and getting stuck there, which only adds to the competitiveness of everything.
C0: The unemployed. They earn no money at all. While technically the lowest class, they tend to reach here by getting fired from a higher class job rather than going down and passing through C2 and C1 (Well, sometimes C2, but rarely C1). Their kids often become C1s as adults due to no opportunities.
C1: The homeless, the beggars and the five year old kids whose parents give them an allowance of five credits a week to do all the household chores. These people are either homeless, live in the homes for the homeless or are simply too underage to get a legal job but their parents want to inflate their child’s egos.
C2: Those here have an entry level job – a bookkeeper for spaceship landings at spaceports, a janitor at the local hospital, and so forth. C2s are typically teenagers or really early twenties, either still living with their parents or living with a few of their friends and splitting the rent evenly (rent is expensive, after all!). These people typically don’t have land vehicles, unless they save up for years to afford a one-month rent of one.
C3: These people have an entry level job at the company where they intend to work for the rest of their lives, albeit with less responsibilities than a long-standing employee. For instance, if they want to work at a wildlife conservation zone, they’d probably get a job as the guy who feeds the dangerous animals or the tour-guide explaining to the people on the tour that you’d prefer to get a promotion than to clean up their trash, so please don’t litter. These people often have a choice between living on their own and living with their friends and being able to afford monthly rent on a land vehicle, but regardless, as far as their homes are concerned, they’re rather similar to C2.
C4: These people typically have a slightly higher up job at their company than when they were C3, albeit they probably only really notice it by a payraise and longer working hours. They generally live in their own apartment (slightly smaller than when they had three friends living with them, obviously), pay rent by themselves and rent a vehicle of C3 quality.
C5: These people have a less crappy job than people of C4, often having management positions over a single small part of the larger organization – For instance, to use the previous zoo example, they’d be in charge of the workers at a particular lion exhibit or something of that description. They’d likely still have C4 rent, but they may decide to get a slightly bigger apartment for themselves reminiscent of C3 but all for themselves. Chances are they’d be able to purchase the C3 quality vehicle if they wanted to, and could probably earn some extra cash renting it off to people if they don’t have a need to use the vehicle themselves. A C5 could also probably afford an annual vacation to another city on the same planet, if they felt like it.
C6: C6s generally have similar jobs to C5s, but often a bit more jurisdiction, with C5s under them to help them manage their workplaces – For instance, while he may have run the lion exhibit at C5, our zookeeper now runs the collection of exhibits that together make up the Carnivorous Cats section of the zoo. This person would generally have a larger apartment for themselves than the one they shared with two other people when they were C2 and it’s a lot more decorated, often with themed wallpaper and furniture reflecting the person’s interests (In the case of the zookeeper, probably African Savannah themed as he spent nearly 1.5 decades of his life working directly with lions), generally owning two cars, one good quality and one bad quality, and they tend to loan off the bad quality car to those of lower Cs. A C6, should he so desire, could easily afford an annual, maybe biannual, vacation to another city on the same planet, assuming he retains all the other extravagances he’s entitled to as a member of this class.
C7: C7s have a similar job to C6s in terms of management, but it’s just one placement up. While the C6 zookeeper was in charge of the Carnivorous Cats, the C7 zookeeper is in charge of all mammals, including the monkeys, wolves, bears, and so forth. They are often able to afford to purchase the same type of apartment that a C4 would live in, and many C7s do purchase the C4-type apartment for in case their company goes down (albeit, they put some of their spare funds towards making the apartment look nicer and stylized similarly to their C7 apartment). A C7 can probably rent a small house as well if they wanted to live in a more expensive, suburban location, though if they rent a small house and prepare a C4 apartment for when things go south they won’t really have much money to spend on other things.
C8: C8s also typically have management positions, although this time, instead of managing a portion of the zoo, they manage the zoo. They've typically worked at their workplace for decades, some of their children approaching being able to live on their own and often don’t need supervision from their superiors aside from maybe a quarterannual checkup or something. These people also can afford to easily purchase the C4 apartment that the C7 used as a just-in-case, and a C8 may own two or three of these and be the landlord to a bunch of C2, C3 and C4s as well. They can generally afford to purchase numerous cars and rent those all off for extra cash, rent a really cool car or two or instead of renting cars, they can put as much money as they can spare into renting a helicopter for about a year. These people can easily afford vacations to other cities, and even the occasional biennial interplanetary vacation, visiting another moon of the gas giant they orbit and whatnot.
C9: When people are C9, they’re generally within a decade away from retirement. All their kids, if they have any, are C2 or C3 adults by now at least, some maybe even approaching C4. They wouldn't manage the zoo; they’d manage all zoos owned by that company in this city. This is the social class of the governor of a city as well as managers of this sort, and thus this class is sometimes nicknamed “City Class”. They typically have a fair amount of money at this stage, and can afford biannual interplanetary vacations, the occasional interstellar vacation, they can own multiple C4 apartments and even some C5 apartments, nearly a dozen lower-class land vehicles, as many vacations to other cities on their planet as they want, and if they save up for a few years, they may be able to buy a cheap helicopter.
Later Classes: I only described up to C9 for numerous reasons – A member of the lower classes wouldn't know anyone above C9, a member of the lower classes wouldn't be able to differentiate a C14 and a C15 easily, and so forth. Additionally, your character is going to most likely be less than a C9.
Exceptions to the Above Generalizations: The above generalizations are for those who have jobs in companies – My example was that of a zoo, but it can be applied to most other occupations as well. There are some occupations that some of these things don’t apply to, though. Particularly, the occupations that I’ll be recommending for this ISRP – Organized Crime and Police. Both of these occupations typically include travelling for their job, and as such, a C3 or C4 cop would regularly travel by plane, while a C5 cop may do interstellar travel regularly for his job, piloting his own spacecraft (The rent being paid for by his company. This is a rare honor and is typically assigned only to those who are REALLY good at their job. If the cop dies before he can become a high enough rank to work off the debt owed to his own company, his family may be in debt to the law enforcement company for generations, often throwing successful, C7-ish families down the social ladder to C1 or C0). Likewise, members of organized crime groups often require travel, generally on a local interstellar level, and the important members of the crime organization don’t want to risk their own necks, so they get their underlings to do the flying for them.
Inheritance Classes: Alright, well you know how earlier I said that C9s are close to retirement, and then later went on to say that there is such thing as a C14 and whatnot? Well, there’s up to C21, which has eighteen people. But you may be wondering, how do people get above C9 if C9s are typically close to retirement? The children of C9s are often adults with C3-ish jobs of their own. If the C9’s kids work in the same workplace as a C3 or a C4, they’d get promoted in rank quickly, only having the lower level jobs so that they could learn the ropes. When the C9 retires and if his or her children are in the same workplace, one of them typically gains the C9 position at a young age, able to carry on along the social ladder from where their parents left off. The same thing applies regardless of a parent’s position, so long as it’s C6 or above (C5 positions are, by galactic law, reserved for those who earn their way up without inheritance, so that anyone really has a chance of getting their genetics into the upper classes).
Spacecraft: Spacecraft are expensive to purchase and rent, but if you own one, you can upgrade it regularly on a C6 budget, so long as you only go for certain perks. For instance, more storage space is easily affordable, as is more powerful lasers, but chemical or biological weaponry, for instance, costs trillions of credits (C10 budget) for relatively weak instances of it. During the ISRP, just ask me what things you want to purchase for your spacecraft and I’ll tell you the price.
3) The Government (3
The government sets all the laws – That’s essentially it. The government may cover anything, from a neighborhood of a city to the entire galaxy. I’ll explain the government ruling class ranks as follows, along with the technical term used to describe it (i.e. if someone is G3, C13, you’d know that they’re a C18 individual on a Planetary Senate, and that therefore you can assume the planet to be an extremely wealthy one):
G1: A neighborhood or suburban area. As the smallest locale to have a government, it has no official Senate, per se, but the residents of the area vote for a local representative on the City Senate. This covers everyone of every social class that is not a member of a higher portion of the government.
G2: City Senate. A City Senate typically has an individual from every neighborhood and suburban town that the city claims dominance over, voting on local politics and who their representative for the Planetary Senate will be. There are generally twenty to forty members of a City Senate. Members of the City Senate are generally C9.
G3: Planetary Senate. A Planetary Senate is the senate of a planet, made up of representatives of the cities on that planet. The Planetary Senate passes laws on the scale of a planet, and those laws override those of a City Senate. There are generally twenty to thirty members of a Planetary Senate. Members of a Planetary Senate are generally C12.
G4: Star-System Senate: A Star-System Senate is the senate of an individual star system. Each Planetary Senate votes in a member of the Star-System Senate, and the Star-System Senate’s votes generally override the laws of the Planetary Senate. There are generally five to eight members of a Star-System Senate. Members of a Star-System Senate are generally C15.
G5: Kingdom Senate: A “Kingdom” is a coalition of Star-Systems closely allied together for in the event of a war against another Kingdom. They evolved organically from star-systems being sovereign states, as eventually some star-systems allied together to protect against invasion, and so forth. However, a Kingdom can only elect one Galactic Senator. There are typically four to six members of a Kingdom Senate. Members of a Kingdom Senate are generally C18.
G6: Galactic Senate: The Galactic Senate is chaos. It is comprised of eight trillion members that seem to mysteriously disappear from their homes once elected, and when they return, they have no memory of where the Galactic Senate is. There are so many Galactic Senators that voting on things on the Galactic Scale takes years, which is why the Galactic Senate is so inefficient. In fact, many people don’t believe that it exists, due to the lack of news that comes from it, though when they do finally vote on something – An occurrence that normally happens only once every century or two due to how many differing cultures are on the senate – it is generally of such great importance that it shakes the entire Galaxy to its’ core. The last thing that the Galactic Senate decided on, two hundred years ago, was to make Kingdoms official, sovereign entities, and to limit the voting power of them. Everyone voted for this in an attempt to limit their opponent’s votes and to divide the number of Senators by five. It is unknown what the Class of members of the Galactic Senate is, or whether they even use money wherever the senate is located, although C22 is nicknamed “Galactic Class” because nobody in known history has found out where the Galactic Senate is, and nobody in the Galaxy in this point of time has ever reached C22.
4) The Technology (4
Technology in the Milky Way Galaxy at the moment is really just akin to technology of sci-fi movies – cool looking spaceships with artificial gravity, faster-than-light travel that ignores relativistic effects, faster-than-light communication, and other things of that sort. Just think of spacefaring sci-fi movies that you've seen (such as star trek and star wars) and remove setting-specific technology (such as lightsabers and the force) and you essentially have the technology of the Milky Way as it is now.
5) Your Place in the Galaxy (5
You’re a member of the police force on either the Interplanetary level or the Interstellar level, tracking down criminals and collecting certain amounts of money per criminal that you catch – incentive to catch more criminals.
Or maybe you’re the criminal that the cop is chasing, working for a powerful organized crime unit, stealing files or smuggling weapons for your boss, along with killing people that your boss dislikes.
6) Rules (6
1) The normal no spamming, no perfect characters, etc.
2) In your CS, when you fill out what class you want, I decide whether or not you get to be that class. If you have a poor CS, you’ll likely be C4 at best. If you have a really good CS, you’ll be better, maybe a C6 or C7 citizen.
3) Your CS may not contradict anything that I said, other than generalizations. For instance, you can’t be born to a poor family and learn to build a spaceship (That’s just stupid), but you could be born to a C8 cop or something and decide to work your way up through the force without the aid of Inheritance Classes.
4) If you want more info on anything, feel free to ask.
5) Don’t join this if you haven’t at least skimmed the entirety of the OP.
6) When filling out the CS, PLEASE remove anything in parenthesis that I put there. It is annoying to have to skim through my own sentences to find where yours begin.
7) I will be highly selective of who I accept. Please make your CS interesting if you want to be accepted.
8) These rules are subject to change at any time, and I can add in new rules at any time if I want to. No complaining.

The last thing that the Galactic Senate decided on, two hundred years ago, was to make Kingdoms official, sovereign entities, and to limit the voting power of them. Everyone voted for this in an attempt to limit their opponent’s votes and to divide the number of Senators by five. It is unknown what the Class of members of the Galactic Senate is, or whether they even use money wherever the senate is located, although C22 is nicknamed “Galactic Class” because nobody in known history has found out where the Galactic Senate is, and nobody in the Galaxy in this point of time has ever reached C22.
4) The Technology (4
Technology in the Milky Way Galaxy at the moment is really just akin to technology of sci-fi movies – cool looking spaceships with artificial gravity, faster-than-light travel that ignores relativistic effects, faster-than-light communication, and other things of that sort. Just think of spacefaring sci-fi movies that you've seen (such as star trek and star wars) and remove setting-specific technology (such as lightsabers and the force) and you essentially have the technology of the Milky Way as it is now.
5) Your Place in the Galaxy (5
You’re a member of the police force on either the Interplanetary level or the Interstellar level, tracking down criminals and collecting certain amounts of money per criminal that you catch – incentive to catch more criminals.
Or maybe you’re the criminal that the cop is chasing, working for a powerful organized crime unit, stealing files or smuggling weapons for your boss, along with killing people that your boss dislikes.
6) Rules (6
1) The normal no spamming, no perfect characters, etc.
2) In your CS, when you fill out what class you want, I decide whether or not you get to be that class. If you have a poor CS, you’ll likely be C4 at best. If you have a really good CS, you’ll be better, maybe a C6 or C7 citizen.
3) Your CS may not contradict anything that I said, other than generalizations. For instance, you can’t be born to a poor family and learn to build a spaceship (That’s just stupid), but you could be born to a C8 cop or something and decide to work your way up through the force without the aid of Inheritance Classes.
4) If you want more info on anything, feel free to ask.
5) Don’t join this if you haven’t at least skimmed the entirety of the OP.
6) When filling out the CS, PLEASE remove anything in parenthesis that I put there. It is annoying to have to skim through my own sentences to find where yours begin.
7) I will be highly selective of who I accept. Please make your CS interesting if you want to be accepted.
8) These rules are subject to change at any time, and I can add in new rules at any time if I want to. No complaining.
