Galactic citizenship represented a human's status in human society.
It was divided into 12 tiers, of which the vast majority ranked in the bottom 3 tiers.
Every individual who advanced to the rank of Journeyman or expert pilot automatically became a tier 12 galactic citizen. This also contributed a lot to the devaluation of the galactic citizenship system.
In contrast, any average citizen of a first-rate state automatically became a tier 10 galactic citizen at birth.
The implication of this was that before this day, the galactic community thought that Ves was just as important as a worthless bum who just happened to have the luck of being born in a rich and powerful state!
This was absurd!
Another major fault of the galactic citizenship system was that it did not even have any room for the vast majority of ordinary people living in human space!
