Question 65
How bad is the discrimination against Divergers in human space? Could for example a Genetically engineered person go to the core worlds and get a university style education? get a job? start a business?

It's rare for discrimination against Divergers to be official policy, Eridani Union notwithstanding. Much discrimination against Divergers depends on their ability to pass as a regular human. This is harder than it sounds, considering the biological necessity of many of their modifications to live on other worlds. Also, many Divergers adopt unusual physical appearances, as a display of wealth or ideology. Cybernetics complicate official equality; every so often, you hear about a cyborg being killed while being arrested for possession of a “weapon”, that was part of their body. Occasionally, violence erupts, usually from riots gone bad. Violence tends to peak with the slaying of the most prominent Diverger in the area. Occasionally, it's another humanoid, usually Sulth but more rarely Xylysus or CyKoi. Rarely, these cause wars, but almost always sanctions.

Divergers, even from embargoed systems, can reach human dominated systems, many entering through the Chu-Yang system, where discrimination is considered unacceptable.

Still, human looking Divergers get by, going to school, working honest jobs, and occasionally worried for their lives. One university student found himself expelled after getting a girl pregnant with a more obviously divergent child, and then riots breakout saying they didn't go far enough. But nowhere is as bad as the Eridani Union.

In the Eridani Union, as well as lesser systems, discrimination against Divergers and all nonhumans is not only tolerated but actively promoted. When a crime is considered to be committed by a “non-person”, they round up all the Diverger and aliens and torture them for information about the crime. When gangs deliberately target Divergers, the crimes are ignored. The movements of all Divergers and aliens are tracked by the state and they are required to wear identifyable clothing at all times. When radicals on earth call for more control of Divergers, some Eridani Moderates throw around words like “genocide” or “war of extermination”.

CyKoi Iconoclasts
Closely related to the CyKoi Diverger movement are the Iconoclasts. Iconoclasts not only question CyKoi tradition, but actively reject it. This has not helped the movement; 35% of CyKoi academia find their arguments nonsensical, disobeying all the rules of dialectic composition. Naturally, they find some of the rules are necessary; the rules of word synthesis were quickly reintroduced when they made some utterly unpronounceable words. Few CyKoi understand their contraryism, though some appreciate their art. The actual Diverger movement is fairly invisible in CyKoi society, following tradition is more important than biological makeup to them (at least one of each species has been considered CyKoi). Still, Divergers are more likely to stay with Iconoclasts than abandon what they know.
