Much of the food feeding our interstellar holdings comes from a world partially tainted from chemical warfare that needed to lower quality control to meet quotas. One of the many reasons that single-product planets are not a sustainable economic model.

:shock: I can easily say that, despite the pollution existing in our nation, we're still relatively healthy and haven't had to suffer from anything like this so far.

:clap: Sounds kinda like the Aliens universe actually, at least up to the second movie. I kinda liked 3 and 4, but they didn't feel as true to the series, especially 4 to be honest. Anyways, I digress.

We're actually steampunk ourselves, but with a lot less gears. We're more like a late 1800's to WW1 type nation mixed with a bit of a Dishonored feel.

The average lifespan here on Planeia is over 1000 years. In fact, the oldest Planeian to ever live and is still currently living is Prime Elder Fos Kolee, at over 7000 years old. The reason the human genome has changed in the past few millenniums is because Kolee fooled around with some Egyptian royals back when he was working in the Expedition. He's pretty much everyone's grandpa, Planeians and humans alike. He's that old.
