“Dieselpunk chivalry”
“Breakdown of tradition”
“A plum ready for the plucking”

A garden planet with several quiet millennia of rule under near-immortal Lamas and the ritual contests of the Seigneurs, each Seigneurial family with its ancestral trans-atmospheric fighter planes. The Lamasery state, which keeps meditating adepts in every city and village, is supported by certain legacy technologies. The lower orders have long been kept in line by the promise of adoption into the ruling castes and concomitant gene therapy. Four marginal worlds in the system have recently been opened to colonization by low-castes who want the freedoms of the Alliance traders, without the restrictions of the Lamas and Seigneurs; Alliance traders run regular settlement flights between planets. Many Seigneurs, too, are unhappy with the old order, and are well aware of the more advanced Contestants mining the outer planets.
