The galaxy is huge. We have Stanton, we have Earth, we have all these places. How is the culture broken down? If you were to meet somebody from, say, the Stanton system, would they behave in a certain manner? Do we have cultures like that, or are we all still very much just humans?

It's a little bit of both, actually. We have pretty good communication across systems. Even when systems are remote, because we don't have real-time interstellar communications, you have to send comm drones in order to talk to someone through a jump point. There's a little bit of information lag and isolation that way. But for the most part, there's a lot of commerce going back and forth, and so information does get spread. So no one is living in pure isolation. And we all came from the same diaspora of Earth, so there is some stuff that people have in common. But like you said, living in different environments, dealing with different local situations have given that. We have been working a lot with the character art team on setting up how the different looks of people can be changed based on where they're from. And so we have some interesting ideas from the character art team on that, so that you might be able to look and see someone in a particular jacket or a particular style about them and be like, oh, that looks like they're from Goss III. Right now, with our NPC behaviors, we are looking more at higher-level stuff before we get into the specifics of differentiating, like this guy on this planet talks differently than someone on that planet, because it starts getting very specific. So right now we're focusing on our initial first pass, which is populating the universe on a grand scale: getting the frontier type people, the rough, gruff people you might expect to find in a mining station, and then the more urbanite people, and the outlaws versus fancy pants, and all those archetypes that could be applied across the empire first. And then we can populate all of it at once. And then from there, our next V2, as we like to say in development, the next version, then we'll start getting more specific. Like what is this guy on this station talking about, how the ice cream used to be better three years ago. And getting really narrowed-down content after we can do the whole thing.
