Core Premise
On a never-stopping interplanetary mega-train called the Seamless Express, a reckless 1099 slum chemist named Jung Jung sparks a revolution against the corporate oligarchs who own his debt and his life.
Main Themes
- Inherited debt as a tool of control
- Found family that fractures under pressure
- Corporate dehumanization and planned obsolescence
- Spite vs. hope
- The true cost of freedom
The World
A rigid caste system spans the solar system:
- Earth-things — frail survivors of nuclear fallout forced into sealed suits
- Martian 1099s — standardized industrial labor force carrying inherited corporate debt contracts
- Gas Giant Oligarchs — cybernetic trillionaires on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn who control energy and treat lower castes as resources
The Seamless Express is a perpetual interplanetary conveyor that never stops. Boarding happens via high-speed drop-ships. A routine Cascade Pulse atomizes anything on the undercarriage.
