Ten thousand refugees from the losing side fled the Terran Federation and colonized the planet Excalibur. By the beginning of the novel, they had expanded over a handful of worlds organized in a feudal system, keeping their technology. When they encounter the Old Federation again, it had collapsed.
The Space Vikings raid these worlds at will for centuries.
