Fiction:Valian Empire/Petal Rim

The Petal Rim Region is an informal area of the Valian Empire, located along the eastern arm of the galaxy, opposite the Balantha Sector and running from Torrend in the north to Jamico, on the south-eastern edge of the galaxy. Important trade hyperroutes run through the Petal, and some of the Empire's most important centres of thought, money and power sit in its bright interior. Hence it is one of the most diverse regions of the galaxy, with everything from overpopulated ecumenopoleis to ever-burning foundry planets to a handful of great green agriworlds.

Planets
Over eighty thousand Valian star systems dot the Petal Rim, one of the most densely populated and settled divisions in the Empire. Around two hundred of these are considered major systems, with highly affluent populations, important shipping locations, or military priority settlements. The following is a closer look at the most prominent planets of the Petal Rim.
