Mar. 17th, 2011 09:13 pmThis is a sidebar that I think some readers may find offensive, but probably needs to be included since the source material does mention nearly everything in it.
First, a disclaimer that will be at the start of the game:
Opinions ascribed to citizens of the Empire in this setting are not those of the author, and some may possibly be considered offensive to a modern audience. These include implied sexism, racism, colonialism, capitalism, jingoism, various forms of double standards, etc. etc. The setting, society and events depicted are not intended to be pleasant or desirable!
Bearing that in mind, here's my version of how race etc. are viewed in the Empire:
( Eugenics )
Does this sound like plausible doublethink?
