+# Rust to Dust
+
+Rust to Dust is Weksa's first proving ground.
+
+It is a setting about neo-colonial culture shock under a galaxy-spanning empire
+that does not need to conquer humanity in the old military sense. The empire
+arrives, plugs Earth into its cultural and economic network, and lets prestige,
+market access, media, and alien ultratech do the work.
+
+Within a generation, human children speak in alien memes, adopt alien body
+decoration norms, and treat human cultural inheritance as something to trade for
+access. Resistance itself becomes content.
