What's worth keeping in mind is that the setting, in a way, is kind of irrelevant. That the game is about facing hard moral choices is what's truly important. The King of Life faith in the game as-written is a good vehicle for these tough choices, but, as Starshield has mentioned, any setup that puts the PCs in an authority role will work: mafia enforcers, jedi, gammaton clerics, whatever.
I found it sort of funny that, in a discussion on ENWorld, someone said they wanted to take the DitV setting and run it using some d20 engine. For me, this misses the whole point of the game. The "setting" is not what you're supposed to be taking away from this game.
