Fading Suns: Vuldrok Space

Barbarians at the Jumpgate Before the Fall of the Second Republic, many outlying worlds created a variety of cultural experiments. Some brought ancient traditions with them, altered by time and distance, while others intentionally created their own lifeways, utopian experiments standing against the monoculture of the core worlds. To the feudal society of the Known Worlds, these other star-faring cultures beyond their borders are “barbarians.” This book reveals their side of their story: how they claimed their worlds, forged their own unique cultures, and managed to thrive despite the widespread collapse of techno-industrial society.
