>>5496885That's a very Lucius centric narrative though. We could use something bigger, even if Lucius is the center piece. Consider that our realm will include other powers and provinces such as the Manachean Commonwealth.
I think its possible to try and either discover (or fabricate) a narrative of a local greater state or realm from the Old Federation, much like the 500 worlds of Ultramar. Consider IRL how many powerful nations tried to recapture the identity of Rome. I don't think it's unlikely at all that the Gothic Sector was once part of some Federal region.
Also, of course, we cannot forget the Mitu. In this timeline I hope they aren't wiped from memory in the far future but form the basis of a shared hatred and trauma from them and the despising of the psychic xenos and the supremacy of man and man's machines.
