A sci-fi setting where a comparatively minor planet overthrows its monarchy and becomes a nascent socialist project. It is immediately beset by other major powers in the solar system and wrestles with building socialism and also the military. Eventually, it is overwhelmed by reactionary forces and the revolution is overthrown.
I like exploring how shared trauma affects people differently so it's a more character-focused story. The main characters are former socialist military who struggle to adapt to the political reality post-reaction. Some try to fade into society, some still believe in the cause, others join the reactionary forces. Former friends set against one another.
Oh and the characters are anthropomorphic fly-boy pilots with ~~sexy~~ well-designed flight suits. There's also some weird consciousness enmeshing technology that I'm still fleshing out.
