After reading everything on the wiki, I think I understand how Starmourn is going to handle death, but I thought I'd create this thread to discuss it too and to maybe have others throw around ideas or questions about it.
From what I've read, our memories are going to be constantly recorded by mindsims and then saved into the D-Vault, which is considered unhackable. These memories could then be downloaded into a new, cloned body after the previous incarnation was killed/obliterated.
I really like this concept, it's used in other sci-fi worlds and games, like EVE online and the Undying Mercenary series of books (Awesome books, btw).
IS this how death is going to work in Starmourn? And does anyone else have ideas or suggestions for it?
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall set me free.

Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Also, Undying Mercenaries is free on Kindle Unlimited and worth a read if you're into pulp sci-fi. And you should be, if you're interested in Starmourn. The books aren't high literature or anything, just a fun, often ridiculous, romp through the galaxy. I highly recommend.
I read about 15 books/month off that subscription. I'm getting my money's worth.
(But if this is the basic idea of how death is handled, what stops some civilization or other evil mastermind from taking a particularly famous or powerful recording of someoneand make a clone army to attack the Trade Federation and later issue Order 66 their enemies?)

Well, McGill would really fit the "handful of humans from a penal colony surviving against all odds" now wouldn't he...
