The Vokun Empire lies in the trailing direction from what was the once core of the Archaic Oikumene. The Vokun are once-fierce conquerors in decline. As they age, they become progressively more obese until they are immobile without use of their conveyances. The elder Vokun direct the younger in administration of the empire, but increasingly they’re concerned only with political maneuvering and decadent games.
Besides the decadent vokun, the empire contains several client species. The cybernetic crustacean-like Engineers build much of Vokun technology. The yellow-skinned Ibglibdishpan are their biologic computers. The Kuath are bioarmored child-soldiers. The Yantran are a primitive people whose idyllic world is used as a place of recreation by the Vokun elite.
