Gaia & Avalon are a sad story of a planet killed through greed, and a civilization deep resource gouging for its own birthplace, far before they could travel the stars.
{Gaia & Avalon lore is a altered Shadowrun-based planet. Using non-earth locations, but with a same general overall lore.}
Avalon was thought to be a second chance. Part of a cyberpunk future; an escape from what they had created. Gaia, once great, primordial, and beautiful had been tarnished. Greed. Greed had been the fatal flaw. They pilfered the sentient planet Gaia for its resources, and eventually she fell silent, dead. She provided a home, and yet her surface was ruined, harvested, and forgotten. Those who still remain on the surface fight for scraps, with a world of toxic seas, unbreathable air, disease, and despair. But all wish to reach to the sky, for an escape to Avalon.
Avalon, the golden moon. A land with once alien life, which is sanctioned and quickly becoming extinct to pathe way for the races who came from below. A cultivated, carefully groomed planetary body, kept in place by futuristic technology, false plantlife, artifical food, on behalf of the ERA corporation. Its a perfect utopia, so they say. As long as you keep your mouth shut about what you see ERA do.
With many nations and factions to choose from, only one true thing can truly leaned on Avalon & Gaia: Covet what you can keep, and let the rest rot.
It is segregated into 26 'Districts'. The closer to District '1' you are, the wealthier you tend to be. Each district is a city; and each city has 1-40 'sectors', which range the wealth in that particular district. District 1-7 tend to be coorporate cities, and districts 24-26 are nearly mad-max style wastelands.
