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 network, and lets prestige, media, alien ultratech, and overwhelming artistic excellence do the work.
Within a generation, human children speak in alien memes, adopt alien body decoration norms, and judge human culture against imperial forms that are almost impossible not to admire. Resistance itself becomes aesthetically legible to the empire.
