* FantasticRacism: A small device called a "visator" determines if you are "Patsak" or "Chatlanian", and thus determines whether you will be oppressed or privileged. The difference between "Patsak" and "Chatlanian" is not racial, it's not genetic, it's not biological and it isn't ethnic. The only way to tell is to just use the device. Moreover, the planets in the galaxy are divided into chatlanean and patzkaen as well. Thus the same person will be a master on "his" planet and a slave on the "wrong" one. Both Chatlanians and Patzaks seem to be fine with that.

* IncitingIncident: A haggard-looking man on the street ("Barefoot Wanderer from Uzm") asks passers-by about the coordinates of their home galaxy. Two men tried to help him, looked at his teleportation device (the size of a TV remote control or DECT phone), one pressed a button at random and the Earthlings found themselves in a desert — without the wanderer or his device.
