Diplomatic Karma
[i]"The Rim is vast, but it is not empty. Your sins carry weight, and that weight is beginning to tilt the scales against you..."[/i]
[b]Diplomatic Karma[/b] introduces a system of persistent moral consequences for your colony. In a universe where ethics are often sacrificed for survival, this mod ensures that your choices leave a mark that cannot be washed away—not even with fire.
What lurks in the shadows?

[b]The Shadow of Retribution:[/b] Be careful how you answer to authority. There are debts paid in silver, and there are others collected in blood . Some say those who defy the established order vanish in the blink of an eye before the [i]The Law-Wraiths[/i].

Three Paths, One Destiny:
When justice knocks on your door, you will have three choices.
You may [b]atone[/b]
For your sins, [b]submit[/b]
To the final judgment, or [b]defy[/b]
Fate itself. But remember: once the sky lights up with the glow of punishment, there is no turning back.
Can you balance the scales before it's too late?
