        “Shiro, can I ask you a question?”

Having magical abilities versus not having any magical abilities is the only potential social inequality as having magical abilities opens up more possibilities for employment, but since magic is something you’re either born with or not it’s not something someone can be socially shamed for not having. Acquiring magical abilities at birth is simply luck of the draw and prowess of parent(s) that have magic within them.

It’s legal, just not very common at all as Altean’s generally have just one mate/spouse at a time (if someone takes a second one at all, if say the first one passes away first).

Generally homogeneous as marriages with those from other planets weren’t particularly common. Honerva marrying Zarkon was the most well-known marriage to a non-Altean in many years.

Just a first name and the name of the planet they’re from, Altea.

Wormholes. Smaller ones can be created to transport items smaller than even a personal (read: one person) ship but also smaller than larger ships or pods that can hold up to a dozen people.

Absolutely. though orphans are unusual because of Altea’s medicinal advances, anyone who is deemed fit to be a parent can adopt a child if they want to. Adoptions of children from other planets are uncommon, but not unwelcomed if a child is in need of a home. Same sex couple aren’t too common on Altea either, but also not looked down upon.
