	Only 63 star systems within the Empyrium are integrated member states. Intelligent, sometimes humanoid life is known to exist on non-member star systems within the borders of the Empyrium, but both the Imperial Authority and the majority of the Imperial Conference adopt a strict hands-off approach to worlds ''unless'' they are known to be space-faring. Non-member systems that achieve this are elevated to candidacy status pending a transitional period into Empyrean integratio. This can take decades though, as the appearance of a new member system within a sector demands investigation into the managing of resources within it, as well as holistically across borders. The last time (other than Eos) when a planet within the Empyrean borders ''joined'' the Empyrium was when Earendel was admitted. Eos was an outlying case, whose candidacy was fast-tracked when [[Wisteria]] vouched for their integration.		Only 60 star systems within the Empyrium are integrated member states.

	Beyond its borders and unclaimed space, the Empyrium holds an isolationist policy due in part to its self-sufficiency, but also to its unwillingness to participate in galactic conflict. As a result. the Empyrium has no standing army outside of the Imperial Authority's enforcement operatives and the border control. Entry into the collective is strictly controlled through four entry points known as "vectors." One is located due east of Sadiym, one west of Centuria, and one south of Althani. Each vector allows transit through specific regions - for example, the vector at Sadiym allows transit only through North, East and South Empyrium. This means that ships that do not wish to make the arduous journey around the Empyrium's borders to access a region on the opposite side often enter at the closest side then arrive at special trading ports that transit foreign goods across regions.

	The '''Empyrium''' is a collective of star systems located northwest of the galactic centre, extending over portions of the Mid Rim and Center Rim. Empyrium is formed by 5 units - North, West, South and East Empyrium, as well as Sanian Space. It borders the [[Galactic Federation]], the Kintu Empire, the Nebularian Ascendancy, the [[Laconian Union]] and the Varinn Confederacy. There are a total of 116 inhabited systems, ~~and~~ the capital is [[San]].		The '''Empyrium''' is a collective of star systems located northwest of the galactic centre, extending over portions of the Mid Rim and Center Rim. Empyrium is formed by 5 units - North, West, South and East Empyrium, as well as Sanian Space. It borders the [[Galactic Federation]], the Kintu Empire, the Nebularian Ascendancy, the [[Laconian Union]] and the Varinn Confederacy. There are a total of 116 inhabited systems, the capital is [[Alkid]], but in practice it is [[San]]. The largest planet is [[Inviria]].

	Functionally, the Empyrium is an authoritarian empire dominated by the [[Imperial Authority]], but whose actual power varies from system to system and from world to world. Direct Imperial rule exists on 34 systems, whereas 26 systems are regarded as autonomous, or "free". The remaining 56 systems are considered to be unorganised sectors not part of the Empyrium's governance, but which may become part of it. There are five symbolic regions - the formerly separatist Western Reaches now holding the purpose-built, symbolic capital city of the empire on San. The Emperor still resides on the planet Alkid, legally the true capital, in the Empyrium system. Politically authoritarian in nature, the Empyrium can (and does) exercise absolute power over some of its worlds. However in practice, it is a hybrid confederacy - the actual degree of freedom varies from world to world, with San and most other capital worlds having an incredible degree of personal freedom and autonomy from the despots, whereas resourcefully important planets and new colony worlds see the most subjugation.

	The Empyrium contains some of the biggest and most luminous stars in the galaxy, for example [[Iota]] and [[Eta Occidens~~]], so named due to their visibility in constellations from [[Yata~~]]. The [[Earendel]] system contains one of the most luminous stars known, calculated to be at least 1 million times more luminous than [[Alpha Sol\|Sol]]. The Empyrium contains tens of thousands of systems, at least 116 of which are inhabited. However, only 60 systems are integrated member states that have joined the Empyrium.
