RF Online - "The beginning to the new world"
 
Novus sector, located in the remote regions of our galaxy. The Novus sector includes the Lumen solar system which is centered on the Lumen sun, and Niger solar system located nearby centered on the Niger sun.
A far future beyond 9000 A.D. Humanity already possessed transportation to all areas in the galaxy at about 4000 A.D. and the scientific abilities to colonize many solar systems. However, they are destructed all of a sudden from the invasion of Herodians, whose base is on the Vega sidereal system of Lira star cluster. The high-tech science techniques were useless against the Herodians’ dreadful weapons. Those who barely survived the attacks were humans living in Novus sector. Herodians could not invade the Novus sector because of a substance contained in the sector which was fatal to their body structure. Herodians then use humanity to study this fatal substance called as Holimental.
Humanity of the Novus sector tries disconnection with the outer world in order to protect them from the Herodians’ weapon, the ARCANE virus which led humanity to their fall. This disconnection included transportation and also communication. Humans of Novus had to evolve themselves to the environment of each planet for survival in this isolation. The Corans chase high levels of spiritual power, Accretians seek a machinery civilization, and the Bellato people pursue a moderate world- the harmony of spirit and machinery.
Individual currency exists in each country. Gold is commonly used as the basic currency in Novus sector. Common use of gold is made possible by the existence of small trading merchants called as Caravan, and the merchant groups that have an equal power as a country. They trade essential resources by the exchange rate and market conditions of each country to make profit. They also make money by creating a free trade region called as the settlement area in parts of the battlefield. This is war trading, a modified form of trade. The merchant groups consider the group profit as the most important matter than the sense of belonging to a certain country or nation.
