Note that this is, on the MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness, ''very'' soft indeed: a 1, maybe a 0.

Cleanup. Aversions are not notable and shouldn't be listed as examples, something can't be "semi-averted" by definition, zero-context examples aren't allowed on wiki pages, and Five Races is being cut.

Changed line(s) 17,33 (click to see context) from:
* TheFederation: subverted slightly, in that the Shango are not necessarily more peaceful or more moral than their opposites.
* FiveRaces: kinda. The Shango, Qareen, Stoppan and Bhoot inhabit the galaxy; the Dharans have colonies in the galaxy, although exactly where is uncertain, and the human race hangs over the scene as a historical presence, which really makes it four-and-two races.
* HumanAliens
* HumansAreSpecial: ''maybe''.
* TheMilkyWayIsTheOnlyWay: averted very much with the Dharans. Justified somewhat for the Shango and Qareen, who would take at least a century to reach the Milky Way itself; very justified with the Stoppan and Bhoot.
* NoTranshumanismAllowed: largely with the Shango; with the Qareen, it's a case of ''some'' transhumanism allowed, much of it to do with neural improvement.
* TheNeutralZone: averted - there's nothing stopping the Qareen and Shango from fighting over the Intersection Zone again (although it's largely known where they stand on that).
* NumberedHomeworld: the Stoppan label their planets "Res 1", "Res 2" etc.
* PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: the Representative People's Democratic Socialist Commonwealth Republic of the Bhoot People may well qualify.
* SkeletonGovernment: naturally; given that the Shango and the Qareen are both post-scarcity societies, they don't need a lot of functions, such as a Treasury or a Business Department.
* SpaceFriction: averted.
* SpaceIsAnOcean: averted. Space is... a rail network?
* SpaceOpera
* StandardSciFiHistory: partially averted; it's not known exactly what happened to humanity at all. Other races are in the Empire stage, although it would appear that the decline just hasn't happened for some.
* StarScraper: on the Shango's Darkworlds, there are towers reaching a hundred kilometres in height, and the forces acting on them at the top (or even in the middle) are not the same as at the bottom.
* UniversalUniverseTime: semi-averted, in that various civilisations use civilisation-wide calendars as well as local ones.
