When the Free Fleet took the human prisoners from the prison colony on Callisto, a very limited set of media was in the possession of prisoners, and they managed to bring a small storage device with their favorite movies and some other material on it. These constitute the only media of any sort from Earth that exists in Starmourn, and happen to all have been in English. As you can see, the convicts were big fans of old sci-fi and action movies, and, apparently, period romances on ships.

It's important to note that while these movies may be cultural touchstones for some Humans, nobody actually speaks fluent English, and they're of little to no interest to non-Human races aside from perhaps some anthropologists.

Even the most ardent viewers of these movies don't have enough material to learn to speak English, so at best what people can do is quote phrases from it that very few other people will understand at all. No other Earth languages are known at all. Further, nobody has any clue how to read/write English or any other Earth language.

Movies

  • Demolition Man
  • Top Gun
  • Titanic
  • Apocalypse Now
  • Terminator 2
  • Alien


Art

  • A selection of various stills and animated porn shots involving a combination of Humans doing the expected (and sometimes unexpected).
  • Two pictures of some kind of small black-furred four-legged cute animal that looks to weigh maybe 6 kg sitting on an unknown human's lap.


Books

None, but nobody in Starmourn can read any Earth languages anyway, so it makes no difference.


Music

Nothing but what's in the movies above.
