The stories starts just a few days after the end of Earth Flight Jarra and the gang are at the Berlin Dig site.

Warning notes for travelers:
Beta sector has a distinctive clan based culture, and is widely regarded as the most permissive of all the sectors. Around 17% of marriages in Beta sector involve triad rather than duo relationships. Betans have a minimal nudity taboo, and you will hear words in common usage that are regarded as unacceptable in other sectors.
“Colonization was delayed for 5 years when the Earth Loyalist party came into power. In 2370 the Expansionists came into power and colonization opened up again along with a mass exodus of people from Earth.
After exodus century when Earth was no longer able to provide the colonies with technology or basic supplies, the Betans pulled together into Clan and Craft clusters. They very loosely based their societies on a misinterpretation of the Roman and Greek Empires of Earth. There were many initial misconceptions that took hold and helped to shape their way of life. When the interstellar portals and other needed technologies started breaking down due to age and Earth was no longer able to supply parts or replacements, they brought all of their scientist together in the Fidelis Project on Zeus. Essentially because of this they were able to save human civilization across space by recreating Interstellar portals.
Fidelis became their core belief. Fidelis to their partner(s). Fidelis to their Clan, Fidelis to their Planet & Sector.”
