The Chrome Worlds are a group of planets which are relatively isolated from the rest of the known worlds. The original 11 were quarantined from 992 to 981 as a result of the Chrome virus, and during this time developed a strong isolationist political outlook.
The Chrome Worlds now maintain a shared legislature, the Judiciary Council, made up of 6 politicians, 3 priests, a scientist and a journalist from each member world. The Council's mandates are usually enacted into the laws of each world within 10 months.
One of the most unusual laws of the Chrome is the prohibition against ubiquitous technology. Electronics and computer technology are strictly limited to explicit computing devices and androids. A computer which is not obviously a computer, the Council decreed, appears as magic to those without technical knowledge, and could lead them to dismiss miracles or heretical practise without thought.
Other characteristics of most member worlds include:
- High reliance on technology
- Most computers or machines are Chromeheads
- High unemployment, with generous state benefits
- Large art/design industries
