AI AI power: Hanse Angelnet- built around ship AI core with Conver upgrades, but largely self ascended AI's ethos: Independent Opportunism System/Polity Name: Danzig Symbol: Wooden Sailing Ship Affiliation: Ties to Terran Federation, Sophic League - Solar Dominion presence since Version War limited to Riga Colonized: 809 autonomous probe "Philip K. Dick" (nano autofac which contacted and joined Metasoft in 4790 Colonized: 1421 "Hanse" (launched 1001, Baltic League Habitat, Central Asteroid Belt, Sol System Psyche, Art, Culture Metapsychology: The opportunistic and resilient NeoHanseatic League attempted to recreate the ancient Baltic Trading empire, but was nearly bankrupt after they terraformed Danzig by bringing cometary water to the dry world, and using nontoxic hypergreenhouse gases brought the temperature up to thaw the permafrost crust. In 2058 the Conver Ambi arrived and set up an embassy/colony on the highlands of Danzig, advanced pohumans trading with and assisting the impoverished Hanse colonists, and leasing a large continent (Wendlant)for their cybercities. In the breakup of the Conver Ambi the Solar Dominion took over, with the now hi-tech hylocyborg culture of the Hanseatic colony remaining independent. The Metasoft outpost on Lubeck retreated to 55 Cancri B, a red dwarf at 1200 AU. This was the base for relativistic attacks on Xi Bootis A (Shamash) from 4390 during the Version War. The Vec outpost was destroyed in 4508 by the Dominion Stormfleet. The Solar Dominion terraformed Riga in 5500, and withdrew from the troublesome and independent Danzig, which soon formed trade agreements with the Sophic league and the Terran Federation. Metaethics: Apart from the cosmopolitan Hanse polity, the Sophic League tree is a centre for Virtual Incarnation and Habilitation. Exvirch neogens usually migrate to live in the O'Niell habitats around Bergen to adjust to real life; many virch characters are programmed with artificial personas for roleplaying which must be shaken off to live successfully in the real world. Religion/Ideology: Danzig-Universalism, Solarism, Market Abundance Theory Hamburg- Universalism, Humanism Riga -Solarism Mazda- Zoroastrianism, Buddhism Bergen- Buddhism, Soul Copyism, Platonic Materialism Culture and Art: The Hanse cyborg culture is both hi-tech and bound to the nature of the world they have lovingly terraformed. The seas and forests of Danzig are full of augmented humans often engaging in sport and commerce simultaneously using cybermultitasking. All worlds in the 55 Cancri system are welcome to compete in the Danzig Hyperolympics, where any bio and/or hylo augmentation is both permitted and recommended.

In 2466 c.e. the autonomous probe Philip K. Dick was sent to 55 Cancri, a G8 class star 41 ly from Earth, and established a magnetic energy collector/autofactory on a moon of the jovian world 55 Cancri d. A First Federation Baltic League ship followed in 1001 a.t., the Hanse, which arrived in 1421 a.t..
The first planet from the star, a hot neptunian world was given the name Bremen by the colonists; it currently has a ring of photovoltaic power stations in polar orbit; otherwise it is untouched. The second planet from the star at 0.11 AU , slightly smaller than Jupiter, was named Lubeck. A second epistellar subjovian named Kiel orbited at 0.24 AU. None of these planets have moons because of the small size of their Hill sphere region.
Danzig, the fourth planet, was a watery gas giant world at 0.71 AU, with a single large moon which became the NeoHanseatic colony. The NeoHanseatic colonist brought cometary water to this dry world, and the moon was terraformed despite its long day (fifteen times as long as Earth's).
The fifth planet Riga was a 9000km pelavenusian world at 1.7 AU, eventually terraformed by 5500 by the Solar Dominion.
A 200,000km jovian Rostock orbited at 5.5 AU, providing protection from cometary impact,.with three moons Mazda, Elbe and Rhine. The autofac was still active on the inner moon, and in 4790 made contact with and joined Metasoft.
In 2058 the Conver Ambi arrived and set up an embassy/colony on the highlands of Danzig, advanced pohumans trading with the impoverished Hanse colonists, and leasing a large continent (Wendlant).
In the breakup of the Conver Ambi the Solar Dominion took over, with the now hylocyborg culture of the hanseatic colony remaining independent. The Metasoft outpost on Lubeck retreated to 55 Cancri B, a red dwarf at 1200 AU. This was the base for relativistic attacks on Xi Bootis A (Shamash) from 4390 during the Version War. The vec outpost was destroyed in 4508.
Danzig is now an independent inner sphere world, affiliated to The Terran Federation and Sophic League, with the Solar Dominion presence limited to Riga.
A Sophic League Worldtree is in place on a moon of Rostock, while in a series of O'Niell habitats set up around an outer microjovian (Bergen) live a hybrid race of synthetic human characterbots ruled by the Doctors Evilbot and Doombot , who are dedicated to lives of peace and contemplation following their liberation from roleplaying parameters.
