So for a long time now I've been collecting a bunch of Lore information to aid our org in RP dialogue. I call it "Casual Lore," which is any Lore I consider "Common Knowledge." We all know what Pepsi and Coke are, we all know who The Beatles are, MOST of us know who our President/Prime Minister/Overlord is, so for conversational purposes, I started collecting all those kinds of tidbits so that we can bring it up casually in conversation to help with immersion and sounding like we're actually existing within the Star Citizen Universe!

Planets must be reported to the UEE, and they must decide in a panel whether or not the planet is under protection of this act, before any terraforming is permitted. +Species and Locations protected under the Fair Chance Act: ---- Canolisca - Carteyana(Cano II) Cano Sys ---- Orm - Xis - Kellog Sys ---- Osoians - Oso II - Oso Sys ---- Phare's Ape - Etos - Osiris Sys ---- Unknown - Genesis II - Genesis Sys -Historical Truth Act of 2941: Act passed, which declassified archived data previously hidden from public eye, adding to previous data obtained during the 2806 Truth and Reconciliation Commission. All data has been added to the Ark for further study - Executive Council Order B-14-26. Selling water is illegal on Yar, Centurai Sys. - Minto vs UPE : A famous court case, forbidding the government from ever permamently banning a system
