Inconsistent raiding of planets within Inner Imperial Space was frequent enough to demand the [[High Emperor]] take action and declare that these planets should be conquered. Though which specific planets this included is not known at this time. Eventually, [[Varion]] went on to perform a complete conquest of the [[Reaches]]. This plan of Varion's was against the Emperor's wishes.{{tor ref|https://www.tor.com/2008/12/17/firstborn|Firstborn|date=2008-12-17}} |

+ | The High Empire retains a sizable assemblage of forces, containing multiple fleets. Each fleet is generally led by a flagship, then followed by a number of cruisers, and finally accompanied by a number of squadrons of fighters. In addition to the High Empire, the planet [[Utaries]] maintained a sizable retinue of ships, lending to their capability of marshaling other planets to their cause. Other planetary systems throughout Inner Imperial Space and the Reaches have their own military forces, though the specifics of these forces is not known at this time.{{tor ref|https://www.tor.com/2008/12/17/firstborn|Firstborn|date=2008-12-17}} |

− | === Inner Imperial Space === |
||
− | Outside of ''New Seele'', ''Highwall'' and ''Tightendown Prime'', it is currently unclear which planets reside within '''Inner Imperial Space''', however; the Imperial Homeworld is located in this region. The [[Imperial Homeworld]] itself contains significant points of interest, such as the [[Officer's Walk]] and the [[Point]].{{book ref|firstborn}} |

− | === Reaches === |
||
− | The '''Reaches''' are a region of space a considerable distance away from Inner Imperial Space. Travel across Imperial space to the reaches can take anywhere from 3+ days, and for quickness in travel, is often achieved by way of speeder. Notable systems in the Reaches are the [[Utaries]], [[Seapress]] and [[Farnight]], among others.{{book ref|firstborn}} |
