I feel like I keep posting updates faster than anyone can see and respond, but I just can't resist! Added some more energy fields to the foreground constructs, and glows around a selection of stars.

Though once a vast space empire, by 26k800 the Seat of the Imperium had become a bombastic though ineffectual office. True power within the empire passed to the Triumvirate of governing bodies of Aoreu, Golaj, and Erhn. The Imperium is still, officially, a unified polity, though the Triumvirate governments sometimes have trouble preventing local skirmishes among the three member regions (or neighboring nations). Those of Aoreu and Golaj despise the Mariner Worlds and Traders’ Rim, regarding them as nationless vagabonds.
