Summary

According to legend and certain scholars, the ancient Milky Way was sailed by an unknown race. Aside from its technological prowess, few things are known about the Great Star Empire. Its species apparently spawned in pools, but walked through air as humanoid adults. One crashed ship attributed to the Empire had what has since been dubbed a "Queen's Chamber," a room equipped to host a substantially larger, more vulnerable being than the humanoid-sized main form.

The Great Star Empire had a religion of sorts, although it did not worship a deity. Rather, its iconography is centered on a vast hatred for a metaphysical representation called on occasion "The Fabric and The Weaver." The meaning of this hated metaphor is heatedly discussed among a small community of scholars.
