He believes that life would be safer for him there - even under Senate rule. He has a university degree in technology, but has been forced to work as a garbage collector due to his family being in an internment camp. He must hide his sexuality as he is in constant in fear of the Magistrate Kruger II, who seeks out gay men to imprison them, as they are seen as degenerates to be used as experiments. In the distant past, gay men had been mysteriously genetically altered, allowing them to be mind readers and telekinetic. Kruger wishes to exploit these men to his advantage.
