The Varinn Empire[1] is to a collective of colonies and planets situated in the far 'northwest' corner of the Milky Way Galaxy, occupying a large section of space between Unknown Space and the Outer Rim. The Empire is divided into 12 'Facets' which act as its highest administrative divisions alongside multiple 'Reserve Worlds' home to various minority species under nominal 'protection' despite their often inadequate living conditions. Administratively, the Varinn Empire functions as an authoritarian one-party state under the rule of a collective of individuals known as 'The Devout Seven' which rule on the behalf of Matriarch 'Hirdai Neirn', the 'de jure' leader whom has supposedly entered a state of incapacitation and is thus unfit to rule directly.
Societal Organization
Varinn Society is both highly stratified, finding itself divided into a number of castes with the Devout and Matriarch at the top, the 'Luminants' responsible for administration and resource management and 'Graviants' responsible for leading armies/fleets and scientific management below them, the 'Quariants' which serve as soldiers and 'Praiants' who handle construction and engineering below them, and finally the 'Mariants' who act as servants at the bottom of the hierarchy. Despite how stratified Varinn Society is, collectivism is also widespread as moving between castes is impossible, thus individuals within castes are organized very communally and laterally despite as a whole being within a hierarchy.
As a quirk of their biology, Varinns have very varying levels of individuality from person to person, with most 'matured' Varinns indeed being 'individuals' who are able to be inducted into the Empire's social structure, though a number of Varinns including all 'non-matured' individuals, those which never underwent maturation for varying reasons, and those which regress into such a state are considered 'Coalescent'. Coalescent individuals tend to lack most physical and personality distinctions from one another and only tend to focus on tasks they deem urgent to tend to rather than being fully receptive to orders issued from their designated superordinates, completely forgoing the caste structure in return for acting as one collective (especially considering how they physically may also partially merge if proximate). While Coalescent individuals may seem to be a significant issue, their high efficiency in completing their select tasks which usually tend to be be beneficial and a belief among the higher castes and especially the Devout that coalescent individuals are 'one with Hirdai Neirn' has allowed their deviance to be tolerated when other deviancy is not.
