World Conflicts
Corporate vs Underground
Resource Control: Technology access, enhancement availability
Privacy Rights: Surveillance vs freedom, data ownership
AI Rights: Property vs personhood, consciousness recognition
Enhancement Ethics: Forced vs voluntary cybernetics
Military vs Civilian
Security vs Freedom: Protection vs oppression
Resource Allocation: Military vs social spending
Recruitment: Voluntary vs conscription
Technology Access: Military vs civilian grade
Internal Faction Struggles
Corporate: Board politics, AI influence, profit vs ethics
Underground: Ideology differences, tactical approaches
Military: Honor vs orders, protection vs control
Reclaim: Survival vs progress, isolation vs integration
Alternative: Retrofit Existing World
Option: Expand Ola (Peaceful Diversity)
Add Tech District to Mir (Government City):
- Government tech development
- Police/tactical training facilities
- Corporate administrative centers
- Tech regulations and oversight
Pros: Uses existing peaceful world framework
Cons: Dilutes both concepts, creates tech/magic mixing
Option: Create Settlement on Existing World
Add to Moc (Desert Scarcity):
- Tech oasis with resource extraction
- Corporate mining/research facility
- Automated systems for desert survival
Pros: Explains resource scarcity drive tech development
Cons: Doesn't fit established desert theme well
Recommendation: Create Keth-7
Reasoning:
- Clean tech focus without diluting other worlds
- Explains advanced AI and tactical equipment naturally
- Creates recruitment source for future tech heroes
- Provides corporate vs resistance conflict for drama
- Allows proper development of cyberpunk themes
Action Items
- Confirm Keth-7 creation vs existing world expansion
- Assign Asla and Pravada to appropriate settlements
- Develop faction relationships and conflicts
- Create tech progression from basic to advanced
- Map connections to other worlds - trade, recruitment, isolation
This world fills a major gap in your tech hero origins
