   Ok, so in original variant the humans on Arda are not connected any way to   
   Earth, they are more like... Fantasy humans? You don't see a mention of Earth   
   colonizating the planets in LOTR, Skyrim, Witcher and all that stuf :p   
   In the sf-copyright-friendly variant, these humans were seeded by some   
   Engineer aliens (3 meter high albino humanoids I am looking at ya:D), seeded   
   in a star system that strangely keeps balance between it's three rocky   
   planets, maybe by some alien    
   artifacts (I feel that this option is cooler than gas giant with big moons),   
   and, or mutated them so that there are dwarves, elves etc, or made a mistake   
   in lab and created diferrent races by accident (Sabotage? Sudden extinction of   
   aliens leading to    
   loss of control on their creation? Or, maybe these Engineers are just us,   
   Earthers, who got bored in our immortality and make eon-long experiments just   
   for entertainment?)    
   As for rockets, I don't intend chemical ones to accelerate at 1g, these are   
   used only for first exploring and colonizing missions to the two planets, then   
   get replaced by more advanced nuclear and then, fusion engines. The cargo   
   shuttles and barges are    
   what I imagined for interplanetary travels.   
   The arms manufacturers and Tech lords seem ok to me, but I still want it to   
   play out with the division between Ardian Triangle, Loyalists and colonials   
   who are kept on their planets like in cages, not knowing a lot about rest of   
   space.
