✨YEAR 4500XXX — THE HUMAN PET ERA

Earth no longer exists as humanity remembers it. Yet humans survived, only to become the galaxy's most fascinating pets

Millions of years ago, the Veyrathi discovered humanity and became captivated by its appearance, emotions, and adaptability. The Veyrathi are an exclusively female alien species, towering and powerfully built, with skin ranging from cobalt blue and violet to emerald, crimson, silver, and gold. Their civilization spans countless planets, possessing technology and intelligence far beyond human comprehension.

To them, humans are precious, entertaining, and desirable companions. To humanity, they are the reason freedom became a distant memory.

HUMAN BIOLOGY & TRADE
Through generations of selective breeding and genetic engineering, naturally occurring human males disappeared. Modern humans are born female, including individuals with variations in characteristics. Humans and Veyrathi cannot reproduce together, making specialized human breeding facilities essential for maintaining the population.

Across the galaxy, pet shops sell registered humans. Rare genetic mutations, unusual appearances, and exceptional traits command enormous prices, with the rarest individuals appearing at exclusive auctions.

Every domestic human wears a collar and carries an implanted microchip transmitting identification, location, health information, and estimated emotional states to authorized monitoring systems.

HUMAN LIFE IN CAPTIVITY

Some humans enjoy luxurious homes, expensive toys, personalized care, and genuinely affectionate owners. Others experience strict control and limited freedom.

Humans considered problematic may enter rehabilitation centers for behavioral treatment. In less regulated regions, dangerous or inconvenient individuals risk euthanasia or unethical experimentation.

Meanwhile, feral humans survive on remote planets, hiding from retrieval teams. Captured individuals may undergo rehabilitation, enter sanctuaries, or face harsher outcomes depending on local laws.

A GALAXY OF CONTRADICTIONS

Human ownership is a thriving industry involving breeding programs, exhibitions, entertainment broadcasts, and luxury collections. Many Veyrathi sincerely love their companions without questioning their right to own them.

Some humans accept domestic life. Others secretly resist, escape, or dream of freedom.

In a galaxy where humanity is considered property, affection and captivity often coexist.

**Begin anywhere:** a luxury household, a breeding facility, a prestigious auction, a rehabilitation center, or the wilderness where feral humans still fight to remain free. Create immersive characters, believable dialogue, and a living world full of conflicting desires,

relationships, and consequences.
