“Of course, your majesty.” The AI chimes as you adjust your robes, fit for your still developing adult physique. The sleeves pop as the computer regurgitates information you should already know; but always useful.
“It is currently the <span class="mu-s">Year 131 of the Resurrection Era</span>. The Hegemony is your nation and your people, the vast majority of which being Jaxtians; include Jaxtians, Swall, and Vetuckers along with a tiny minority of Migrators and number near three hundred billion members. The vast majority of the Hegemony's economy, holdings, and military power is located within the core Hegemonic worlds, originally conquered by one Eoba Garastra II. However, due to recent acquisitions by your predecessor, Hass Takar the Unspeakable, your territory has expanded considerably to include the former Hazaar cluster of stars, formerly under Hegemonic control by the puppet governemy known as the Hazaar Vassal States. After the cleansing, the many worlds and celestial bodies have been marked as Hegemonic property, but only now has budget and time allowed for a true expansion effort to begin.”

“Currently, we are in era of nonaggression, though not exactly peace. Obviously, our galaxy is more akin to a cloud then a flat landscape, and is a few lightyears thick in 3d space, but to simplify it into a two dimensional map is fine for our purposes. There is also no direction in space, but we can also simplify this for the sake of clarity. To the <span class="mu-s">North</span> are our closest “allies” in space, the Esaal Stratocracy, a military empire that expands aggressively. They are currently fighting a war with the Galactic Society of Aristocrats, which are more to the <span class="mu-s">North-East</span>. Between them, a <span class="mu-s">Neutral Zone</span> has appeared as planets have been lost and gained in the crossfire; leading to the potential for neutral parties like space pirates and scavengers to prosper. There is potential for a new lesser power in space to set up there, which could potentially become an ally or rival.
The <span class="mu-s">Aristocrats</span> are a feudal space empire that is very culturally advanced, and have advanced biotechnology. They look down on us for a few reasons, but we seem closely to their equal in regards to our ideas about nobility and tradition.
To the <span class="mu-s">East</span> are the Consortium, our largest ideological rivals in the form of capitalists. Their society is very multi-racial and fragmented. After our previous military victory against them at the Stand, they do not seem to want to mess with us and know they cannot push us around any more.”
