The official lore of the [[Elite Dangerous Role Playing Game]] gives an interesting insight into the Elite Universe. ''"Little has changed for those in the bottom of society since the old-[[Earth]]'s dark ages. The planet-spanning mega corporations employ entire nations and rule unchecked over vast sections of the galaxy. Weapons are readily available and people are inclined to shoot first. The general lawlessness of space, inequality, greed of the galactic elite, navigational hazards and fierce creatures on planets make it a dangerous galaxy."''<ref>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edrpg/elite-dangerous-role-playing-game</ref><ref>https://www.edrpg.co.uk/</ref> | The official lore of the [[Elite Dangerous Role Playing Game]] gives an interesting insight into the Elite Universe.

=== Upperclass === | |||
The [[Powers]] are powerful individuals or organizations who form the upper-class of galactic society. | |||
The richest people of the 21st century such as Bill Gates pale in comparison to the wealth and influence of Powers in the 34th century. For example [[Zemina Torval]] is preposterously rich due to her stake in [[Mastopolos Mining]] and slavery. She owns many star systems and has a personal fleet of Majestic Class Interdictors.<ref>http://galnetarchive.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-emperor-is-sick-man.html</ref> | |||
