It is revealed early on that Skade is a Conjoiner woman who appears to be in touch with secret circles of control within the theoretically egalitarian Conjoiners society. The novel begins in the year 2605, where Skade has been tasked with investigating a Conjoiner ship that has returned to the Conjoiner headquarters, the Mother Nest. The novel takes place around the planets Yellowstone and Resurgam, in two story lines which converge near the climax of the novel. These factions, allies before the plague, are, in the time frame of the novel, at war with each other, with a Conjoiner victory imminent. The other featured faction is the Demarchists, baseline humans who originally practiced a form of decentralised mass-participatory democracy, but whose civilisation was all but destroyed by the Melding Plague. These include the Conjoiners, humans who have incorporated technology that allows them not only to share thoughts, but to enhance many aspects of their existence (such as vision enhancements, pain blocking, fastidious memory collection and recall, etc.). Humanity has split into several factions. The plot of Redemption Ark involves the pursuit of the " hell class" weapons stored on the ship Nostalgia for Infinity (introduced in Revelation Space).
