Remnants of Commonwealth is a hard sci-fi worldbuilding project with influences from the genres of fantasy and military sci-fi. The setting takes place several thousand years from now after a glorious age where mankind expanded across the stars in a nation called the People's Commonwealth. One such system that the Old Commonwealth colonised in the past is the Verdzanas-Etupili System, otherwise known as The Binaries. It is a binary system of two stars, Verdzanas is a star the size of the sun with 11 natural satellites, 2 of which are naturally habitable. Ulfon is the home of the race of man which have retained that ancient name, while Thedik is the home of the Dwarves. The other star of the binary system is Etupili, 3/5ths the size of Verdzanas and possessing 8 satellites, one being habitable, Gamhili, the home of Elves.

Each of the three homeworlds is split into various nations, which also possess territory in space, be that orbital installations or colonies on the uninhabitable worlds of the Binaries. Ulfon is split into 9 Human Countries, each a union of several culturally distinct nations. Thedik is split into 9 Dwarf Holdings, each possessing a culture and society founded by one major Hold, or city, expantion from which the rest of the holding's territory is the result. On Gamhili, the major geopolitical players are the 4 Elven Coalitions, military and economic alliances of several of the various elf communes, urban and rural.
