I used to live on SpaceDock 2 the people were much nicer. When I received an order to move to SpaceDock 1 I was disappointed because I had heard the community was always fighting

This ia actually interesting. How a simple spacial colony, of such humble origins could have changed to a consumist galactical society. What a story!
