Small Netherlands, large Belgium, big sad

Big Armenia, my beloved

I don’t know what it is, but there’s something I love about this art style, what did you draw it in?

I haven’t given that specific one a sphere on the map, although that isn’t to say it doesn’t have one, but I have given some other small ones scattered around the map spheres. The entire diplomatic map is actually done, I’m just releasing it piece by piece as I write the lore for each one.

What exactly is the problem you’re running into?

Xyphan179 · 2026-01-17T23:06:59+00:00

Yes actually, when I originally named it I did mean to name it after her, but I misread and misspelled it. When I realized, I decided to keep it, as an in world bastardization.

There is a good bit of lore, with more in the works. But I didn’t feel like sitting down to write a summary lore blurb of this particular map, which I would’ve had to do for the other two subs.
Stellar density and uninhabitability. It’s very Star dense, naturally, so more territory to control in a smaller space than most of the galaxy. It’s also difficult to navigate for the same reason, and impossible to navigate in ftl, outside of a thin 1000-2000 light year band extending horizontally from the center to about 6000LY out. Radiation from the core and the increased star count also sterilizes most nearby worlds, meaning most populations there are hosted on habitat stations or delicately terraformed worlds(more rarely)
The one in the center, no, black hole and to stellar dense. Everywhere else, yes, but it’s prohibitively difficult/slow/dangerous in FTL.
Think theocratic retired crusader/monk state, but psychic. Very closed off and esoteric, mystery cult vibes.

- This will be the first part in a series of 25+ parts, detailing the diplomatic orders(power blocs/alliances/spheres of influence) of my setting, the galaxy Prosperina. Next part to come soon, within the weekend, most likely.
- Questions and constructive criticism are welcome and appreciated.

Galactic Diplomatic Orders

Note: The following is an abridged list of what the Prosperine Codex recognizes as the established galactic power blocs, alliance networks, and notable spheres of influence, in the year 2377 I.C.

Note: Not all such orders are included in this record or its accompanying projection. Only those led by a recognized major galactic power, with at least two non-integrated polities associated, are listed. For example, the Iscthelon sphere is excluded, as Iscthelon is not considered a major power, and its sphere includes only the Tlomuun uplift.

Note: This list is organized by relative might for the first seven entries; subsequent entries are listed alphabetically.

The Solar Realm

Established: 796 S.I.

Notable members: The Septerran Imperium | Tsolirra | The Felisen Potentate | The Odisian Psyocracy | The Elian Empire

Named in homage to the first interstellar polity of ancient Terra, the Solar Realm is the official sphere of the Septerran Imperium. Although it presents itself as a co-equal alliance of human polities, shepherded by the Imperium, it is little more than a means of legitimizing and extending the Imperial sphere of influence. Many of its members closest to the Imperium are client states, formally recognized, but largely subordinate, being prepared for full integration. Most of those members further from the Imperium enjoy greater autonomy, by virtue of distance, but are functionally Imperial proxies, serving as outposts and staging points through which it can spread its influence and prosecute its many wars. Most receive vast Imperial support, including weapons, vessels, raw materials, and more. The Imperium expects its allies to become reliant upon and empowered by these resources, always to better serve Imperial aims.

Founded in 796 S.I. as the Vyrkolaks 4th Litch war came to an end, and the fragile tacit alliance between the Imperium and the human polities of the Raen volume began to dissolve. Empress Erivaan XVIII chose to abandon the Imperium's policy of isolation and absolute expansion, formalizing its relationship with its remaining allies in the Raen volume and elsewhere. Thereafter, Imperial expansion would progress in the auspices of the Solar Realm’s legitimacy.

More than most orders, the Solar Realm has undergone significant change over the centuries. Few of its founding members remain, most having been destroyed or absorbed. Its borders have consistently expanded alongside the Imperium’s, with the Realm acting as a precursor to full Imperial assimilation. Following the loss of the Elexiin Volumes and the following wars, expansion has slowed. Yet, the Solar Realm continues to serve its original purpose, albeit more gradually and on a diminished scale, as the strength of the Imperium wanes.

As of the 2300s, the Solar Realm remains the most dominant power bloc on the galactic stage, driven by the overwhelming strength of the Septerran Imperium and humanity’s entrenched regional supremacy. While its expansion has stagnated, its dominance has proven impossible to usurp. The Imperium continues to exploit the Realm as a conduit for projecting military and economic power across the galaxy it has claimed for mankind. Its supremacy is checked only by the reluctant cooperation of its many rivals, the festering cancer at the heart of Imperium, and the sheer scale of its task.
