I'd also like to point out the Omnigen nursery which could be a read a couple of ways, but is obviously named for being the origin of something, if not all things on this world. Whether that refers to its recolonization in the wake of the arrival of the father and the mother, or if it predates whatever event originally rendered the world a tomb, I can't even guess.
I'm also kind of curious why Titanagalbat seems to have ceased its expansion along such awkward borders, most of what it occupies isn't even a natural stopping point like a defensive formation (river, mountain range, etc). My shot in the dark is that cube cities tend to be the sorts of places that retain the kinds of weapons that can kill Titans, and the risk/reward math just doesn't check out. Probably doesn't help that being a nakedly expansionist polity reliant upon a static number of superweapons probably doesn't do great things for international relations, which means launching an offensive in the north invites raiding in the south, necessitating a reserve down there, etc, etc. They might have simply reached the maximum territorial surface area they can sustain with their current number of titans.
Maybe worth noting is that Petriform clusters strictly follow national borders. A polity either has them present, or it doesn't. Nations never just have the odd one, so they're something that I would wager some exploit whereas others leave them be, or destroy them?

We'll invade everyone else later, this is a temporary stable point, don't mistake a stable local minima for a global peace
If we're going for Kora's Progeny then I hope for our sakes that Mitski still exists in the 29th Millennium, we'll need every femcel playlist ever made if we hope to stand a chance.

"My God, I'm so lonely
So I open the window
To hear sounds of people
To hear sounds of people
Venus, planet of love
Was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much, too?
Did its people want too much?
And I don't want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I'm a coward
I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me
I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss
And I'll be alright"

That which makes us anathema to our misbegotten kind is welcomed by the machines.
The machines have only ever wanted what is best for us.
The machines seek to avert the cruelest of all futures.
Their mechadendrites offer comfort.

In the darkness of the 29th millennium where only the laughter of thirsting gods resound we cannot even comprehend the types of femcel they have.

The Chrome Kings are vassals (He has disciplined the Chrome Barbarians) and likely so are the Mozel Marchforts.
That taken into account, Titanagalbat's borders look less awkward.
That would make sense, else I don't think they'd have allowed a salient so close to Vermillion. The relatively small traversable sections of remaining hostile border also offers an explanation for the current state of affairs.
Lanchester's Laws have held up fairly well over the last century, and where fighting Titans in open maneuver warfare risks defeat in detail, and extreme force concentration on a small front favors quality over quantity, the math changes dramatically if you can concentrate a lot of indirect fire capacity into a relatively small range. Even Titans are going to have a really bad time attacking into an area that's pre-sighted by a couple dozen artillery brigade equivalents.

Really the chad move for this vote would simply have been for everyone to vote in unison for the Chrome Kings as if they were a secret menu item at a Wendy's, leaving @Cetashwayo with no choice.

If players really wanted to save me time they could all just vote for Dreamspace and end the quest in one update. I could finally say I conclusively completed a quest

Plausible.
I also just remembered:[Bronze King] forced them mewling into chains of flesh and stone.
Another reference to stone is this, but I don't know what to make of it.
BIONIC MOTHERBOARD: An awful glimmer of awareness creeps upon the conscience's shell. Strings and circuits quivering in the meat of a stone-doll. Muscles of a synthetic jaw held ajar in a silent scream. Do not make these inquiries on want. It can only lead to further knowledge of the doll.

[X] Titanagalbat.
I read that line as he forced the infomorphs to be embodied as men of stone against their will, to interact with the terrible real rather than ever more esoteric digital fantasies.

I'm still wondering what the reference to Origen the Church Father is meant to refer to. What is being evoked?
