The society of the ExoHumans on planet VOI 700 D in the Beta Age was shaped by two defining elements: the trauma of the crash landing of the Last Frontier and the unbroken human belief in progress and dominance. Unlike the Gamma Age, ExoHuman society in this period was relatively unified, with no major ideological factions dividing the population. Instead, the Beta Age was characterized by a shared struggle for survival, a collective ambition to rebuild civilization, and an adherence to principles of individual freedom, free markets, and human supremacy.

The Beta Age was an era of personal initiative, where settlements operated with minimal regulation and individuals pursued prosperity in a minorly regulated free market. This period saw the emergence of various entrepreneurial pioneers, technological rebuilders, and frontier settlers, all of whom contributed to shaping the economic and social foundation of the Free State of Settlers.

Despite this sense of unity, social stratification and cultural subgroups began to emerge, particularly as some individuals found themselves outside the economic boom or resisted the dominant cultural and ideological norms.

Three core beliefs unified ExoHuman society in the Beta Age:

• Human Superiority – Having never been challenged by an external civilization before, exohumans viewed themselves as the dominant and most advanced species in the universe. This assumption remained unshaken despite the difficult circumstances on VOI 700 D.

• Freedom of Enterprise – The market economy flourished, driven by personal ambition and technological ingenuity. Regulation was kept to a minimum, as it was believed that competition and individual effort would be the fastest path toward rebuilding civilization.

• Personal Liberty and Free Speech – Settlers valued their newfound independence and saw minimal governance as essential for maintaining human potential and progress. Communities were self-organized, and any attempts at centralized control were met with resistance.

While these beliefs created a largely homogenous ideological landscape, economic disparities, criminal enterprises, and alternative lifestyles still developed in the Beta Age.
