@roboneko @AstolfoCockVore @Immahnoob @LoliHat @blueknightfrank @supersid333 oh, wait, maybe you're mixing up things.
Star Trek was used as an example somewhere in the conversation, but I'm talking about the setting of the Lamcer RPG, which is the original subject of the thread.

Lancer is a mecha RPG written by a commie where the central government is a post scarcity utopia and they simply throw their weight around other civs with huge mechs to assimilate them because they are totally the good guys.
The setting is a bit like the one in The Culture series.

We are planning to subvert it and depict the Utopia as authoritarian assholes (which is not very hard to do, as the commie authors lack a bit of self awareness and they already wrote them like that) with the players being freedom fighters.
