The captain of that rocketship [[WorthyOpponent gave us a good deal of trouble]], as I recall."

* TheFederation: The Tri-World Federation is an attempt to put Earth, Venus and Mars on an equal political basis, backed by the military power of Spacefleet, to counteract the threat of an overpopulated and expansionist Earth.


Added DiffLines:

* SolarSystemNeighbors: Earth, Venus and Mars are joined in the [[TheFederation Tri-World Federation]], designed to give the latter two worlds equal political and military status with humanity so they won't be overwhelmed by an overpopulated and expansionist Earth. Venerians are a primitive matriarchal ProudWarriorRace, while Martians are the equivalent of Vulcans (with some Creator/RayBradbury influence). There are also the (unseen) Jovians who [[ExtremophileLifeforms live in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter]].

* CallARabbitASmeerp: Justified. What we would call "computers" are "electronic minds", but this is because this version of ''Voyager'' is so low-tech that "computer" retains its original meaning, i.e. a person who does mathematical computation.

* WorthlessYellowRocks: On Earth, the artificial production of diamonds is so common that diamonds are no longer regarded as precious gems, and are used solely for industrial purposes. But on Venus, the native Venerians still regarded diamonds as rare and valuable when the first Terran colonizers arrived, so the Terrans cut some ''very'' lopsided deals with the locals.
