The
Planets
Established in approximately 2311, the Sphere of the Triocracy stretches across a dense, vibrant region of space about 100 light-years in diameter within the Orion–Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way, encompassing over 500 star systems and 24 colonized worlds, and approximately 5.655 billion Citizens. Born out of the ashes of Earth’s former mega-corporations and society’s dependence on AI, this star-spanning civilization is a tightly structured, stratified system. It is governed by a triadic power structure: the Techspire (Knowledge), the Warspire (Power), and the Lorespire (Culture). This balance sustains the entire Sphere, stabilizing not only governance but also the cultural and technological evolution of humanity across its established worlds.
