Solar Egregore

CyberpunkSocial, psychological

Imagine a future where every human mind is linked, your thoughts and feelings bleeding into a shared psychic atmosphere. This is the world of Solar Egregore, a society balanced on a razor's edge. On one side are the radical individualists who fight for the sanctity of the self. On the other, corporate-states that seek to merge all of humanity into a single, unified consciousness.

Watching this silent war from the frozen tomb of Old Earth is an ancient system, a silent regulator. It doesn’t take sides. If either faction "wins"—if the balance between self and collective ever tips too far—it will trigger a universal reset, erasing civilization completely.

In this tense reality, the greatest taboo is success. To become too influential, too charismatic, is to paint a target on your back. Excellence is feared, and greatness is a death sentence. The true currency isn't credits, but influence, data, and the illegal tech that can manipulate the minds of others. Amidst the neon-drenched arcologies and black-market asteroids, the only truth is found in "ghost data"—the fragmented memories of those the system tried to delete. Here, survival depends not on winning, but on never upsetting the terrible, fragile peace.
