>>15729481Imagine an advanced human civilisation that spread itself across the stars using some sort of faster-than-light travel and the creation of immense, portal-like, interstellar gates.
Unfortunately, an ideological divide which had something to do with cloning and clones' rights split the civilisation into small confederacies, which disrupted transportation, made population skyrocket in some places, and ultimately caused famine and war over resources and personal beliefs.
It all ended with the defeat and destruction of the last major cloning facility space station, but humanity would never recover. The massive loss of information made interstellar travel & communication networks impossible to restart, which meant that tens of thousands of inhabited systems all over the galaxy were lost forever.
There were many worlds that regressed technologically or simply perished... What do you think of writing something about the fate of a medium-sized space station, located above one such planet?
