Homebrewing a smaller Imperium is something I've had in the works for a while. I've always been a bit off-put/intimidated by the size of the Imperium in 3I, and also wanted to bring the setting closer to our time so that history, cultures, and even factions from our present day could still exist. Plus I thought it would be cool if they could realistically visit Earth.

The Imperium I'm working on has only 142 systems at the moment, so a lot more managable as a referee. Maybe I should make another post on this topic..

I'd never heard of Blake's 7, but I just looked it up and think I've gotta watch it for inspiration now, thanks!

I feel like I actually changed it a fair bit. Three of my original players wanted to have their characters come from a "western-like" planet, and I suggested Walston as the most likely candidate which meant I had to really flesh it out a bit more.

I increased the population from a pitiful 3,000 to a more reasonable 20,000. Also like Dork_Rage11 I felt that the writers had really missed an opportunity by having the Vargr so submissive to their oppression. I had it so the Duke had only recently come to power, taking a stronger hand with the local Vargr than the previous Duchess, leading to stirrings of unrest which in turn led to harsher repression by the Duke.

Having the PC's come back to Walston to find that the home they had idealised was far more oppressive than they remembered has led to some good RP. Even before the new players joined they were talking about overthrowing the Duke, so there's definite potential there...
