Action Items

1. Confirm creation vs expanding existing world - Keth-7 as new world or add to existing
2. Assign Asla and potentially Pravada to appropriate settlements
3. Develop faction relationships - corporate/military/underground/wasteland dynamics
4. Create technology progression - from basic to advanced AI and cybernetics
5. Map connections to other worlds - trade, conflict, cultural exchange
6. Define character backstories - how heroes fit into tech world conflicts

Technology-focused world providing origin for AI specialists, tactical officers, and cyber-enhanced heroes
