Just had an idea that would/could make this setting idea slighty more managable. The solar system has been widely colonized by man. MARS and Luna had significant colonies. And there were out posts on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter as well as a major space station in Earth orbit. Natually earth still exported a lot of material to the off world colonies however a cataclysm occurs to earth, whether an extinction level meteor strike or nuclear war Earth goes into a totally melt down cutting off the rest of humanity in the system. The struggle to survive puts the Sol system into a Solar Dark Age for a few centuries. But eventually colonies on Mars and Luna recovery enough to return to space. The PCs operate in this time in a setting of lost and derelict outposts, stations, and ships. The solar system is wild, dark and dangerous. With caches of lost tech and mysteries to explore. Earth of course is a dangerous place but could also hold vast treasures. Any AIs date from before the cataclysm and would be very quirky/ dangerous to deal with.
