> In this setting, Nobles are literally biologically superior to commoners, because their familial genetics were perfected long ago.

Inb4 anons create an anarchist version of England with Lords, Counts and Knights where they murder each other for power more often.

They are also basically immortal since cloning and consciousness transfer exists

The peasantry is entirely composed of Cyborgs, who have been especially adapted to specific tasks. They are still sentient, however.

Knights are essentially built into their armor, which is an almost indestructible mech-suit with enough firepower to level a city-block in a minute.

so, EVE?

>>53873100
So Commorragh with humans running the show?

The world is inhabited by monsters that are variously scary natural creatures, the results of unchecked genetic tampering, and war machines that have long been without masters. Knights are tasked with protecting society from them as well as brigands and rival powers.

>>53873085
All the noble houses have gene tailored viruses that target each other, but due to byzantine alliances and MAD, they settle disputes with duels and anything else to handwave having huge biomechs.

The setting is set across known space, across roughly 5,000 known star systems. Instead of fiefdoms, nobles rule over planets and asteroid belts, and instead of castles and palaces, nobles are based in hollowed out asteroid fortresses and luxury space stations.

An intricate webwork of metaphysical hyperlanes links large gravity wells, (stars, black holes, and some gas giants), and FTL drives utilize the power of gravity to slingshot spacecraft through hyperlanes, after anywhere from 2 months to 2 years of travel, the spacecraft exits the hyperlane at a random point within several million standard kilometers of the gravity well.

> There are humans whose ancestors underwent extreme genetic modifications, mixing and mingling their DNA with that of beasts, plantlife, and other stranger things, to the extent they lost what made them human and became something else entirely. These Xenos, despised by all of man, despising them in turn, have founded kingdoms of their own on the fringes of known space, and make frequent incursions into the frontier.

Most nobleman have several bodies, each specialized for a certain task, and they transfer their consciousness from body to body as the situation merits. Most knights have three bodies, a hulking heavily augmented, more machine than man mechanized body for battle, an inhumanly resilient but otherwise minimally altered body for day-to-day life, and a relatively fragile but hypersensitive and flexible body for entertainment, feasts, concerts, and other, more personal activities.

EVE is Anarcho Capitalism incarnate.
>>
The current state of human space, the Ecumene, was by no means intentional. The fall of the Tellurian Union [read: the Rome to the techno-feudal's Medieval kingdoms] left behind a vast number of warlords, cyborg'd up workers, masterless pieces of tech, and enough chaos to make swearing allegiance to whoever had the biggest guns left a worthwhile idea. Fealties were sword, kings were made, titles were doled out, and after a few dozen generations people have just sort of adjusted.

>>53873662
There will be some sort of (bio/techno)logical magic that makes zero sense and is an obvious bolt on. If this gets a second thread, someone will offer a vastly superior system or suggest stripping it all together. People will dogpile. That thread, and the other threads after, will all be that shitfight over and over again.

>>53873085
Sliding Albion?

>>53873085
Dune?

>>53884652

What if for once, we don't have magic system, just ancient sci-fi technology more advanced than what the feudal kingdoms are capable of producing?
