Duelling in Spaaaaaaace!

Duels in Europe were connected to the lack of professional crime investigation or forensic science: if there are very important questions where the only way to decide is to choose who to trust, you let God decide (and people noticed that He made some pretty odd decisions). So to get duelling in an ultratech setting, you probably want to undermine trusted police forces and forensic science and surveillance (this can be within a subculture).
