The Community of Shobah is a small polity in the Cathedral Galaxy, most famous as the home of the Great Library.

The Librarians believe that the Ancient race in the galaxy discovered all knowledge that there is to find, and therefore that the most efficient means of discovery and investigation is archaeology in ruins and wrecks. Archaic artifacts are prized in this nation.

I'm working through dedicated regional maps of each nation in the Cathedral Galaxy, filling out the larger universe as I go. I've been enlarging sections of the original galactic map, which I drew by hand, photographed, selectively inverted, and then colored and labeled in Photoshop. Each region gets annotated with the homeworlds of its people, some lore and flavor, and then its own unique focus for that particular region. The map of Shobah gives some hints about how the galactic civilizations delve into the ancient ruins.
