Considering all of the Empire's other planets seem to have meaningful names, would you mind explaining where these came from?

Hey, don't blame me, that was just what the brother wrote.
 
So I think I'm ready to start, what do you all think?
 
Some generic questions for any space opera setting:

1 Does this setting have any transhumanist stuff like genetic engineering or AI?

2 Are there any psychic abilities or supernatural phenomena?

3 What is the manner of interstellar travel?

4 Any ftl communication present?

Planned till about five turns in with over a hundred systems.

Depending on the start date and starting age you begin in.

Bullshit dice contingencies are in play. It's called your rival.

Yes, they are called the path of Transcendence, which see the physical body as unnessecry for the mind or soul to function, and seek to upload humanity into a giant super computer.

So then which faction is which now? Because before, the Spiral were the Federation/Free Systems.

EDIT: Okay, maybe they weren't the Federation, because looking back, the system list for them calls them The Federation of the Arm. My bad?

    Ah, 125 points and if they are allowed, they will get a buff to the MC in battle, especially if it is a member of the crew of the Pride of the Empire.

    Or if its a member of her government, ideas for how to make her planet more wealthy, her more important, or grow Cornelia's reputation.

    If it is a member of the Empire's government, the Empire will get roll bonuses.---


    The Federation... well Lets just say you will want to help your rival in the early game, that is all.
