The society of the ExoHumans on planet VOI 700 D in the Gamma Age is shaped primarily by the terms and growth restrictions of the Peace Treaty with the Alliance of Native Tribes. It is a planned and highly regulated society, defined by the principles of Communardism, a socio-economic system that emphasizes collective survival, strict resource management, and the restriction of private ownership.

Despite these overarching principles, human society remains diverse, split between political factions, social subcultures, and religious communities that all navigate the constraints imposed by the Federal Confederation.

Politically, ExoHuman society is divided primarily into two camps:

• Supporters of the Communards Party
• Supporters of the Individualist Party

The Communards accept the terms of the Peace Treaty as “the price humanity must pay for their past behavior.” They believe that human civilization, as it existed before the crash, was inherently flawed—plagued by unsustainable consumption, environmental destruction, and war. Their ideology views humanity as a deficient species that must be educated and disciplined to coexist peacefully with nature and other peoples.

The Individualists oppose the peace treaty and reject the restrictions placed upon humanity. They argue that the only way for society to flourish is through competition, personal ambition, and free enterprise. They believe that humans are superior to the Natives, given their advanced technological heritage, and that their current state of submission is an injustice. To Individualists, the voluntary surrender in the Great War was an act of betrayal, and they do not fully recognize the Peace Treaty or Federal authority.

This political division has shaped the social fabric of ExoHuman life, with each settlement displaying varying degrees of support for either ideology.

In addition to the two major political factions, human society in the Gamma Age consists of several distinct subcultures, each adapting to their circumstances in different ways.

• The Outlaws are radical Individualists who have rejected the Federal Confederation entirely, forming criminal gangs outside the reservations.
• They engage in smuggling, raiding, and black-market trade, seeing themselves as the last free humans.

• The Desert People are extreme survivalists who reject Federal authority but refuse to resort to crime.
• They live outside the reservations in the Dark Side, embracing isolation and hardship.

• The ExoHuman Natives chose to live among the Native Tribes, either as former prisoners of war or voluntary defectors seeking unity and spiritual enlightenment.
• Many have adopted Native traditions, intermarried, and serve as cultural mediators between the two peoples.
