the idea is that it's a world confined to a "2D" solar system, with a dying sun suspended above the planets, the cracked husk of the earth at the center, and no rotation. the planets are occupied by different factions roughly corresponding to the state of the Mediterranean in 200AD. i never sorted out exactly which planet goes to who, but Mars and all the inner planets are occupied by a roman empire analogue.
the protagonists of whatever this will end up being are part of the Void Corps, a hastily formed interplanetary organization established between the outer planets, several of which are part of a lower phase socialist federation, and the roman empire analogue, who had just been to war with the former, tasked with scrambling to deal with the aftermath of the death of god
