Promellian

Ancient Interstellar Military and Political Influence

Description

An ancient Promellian polity that projected power through heavily armed capital ships, here represented by a derelict Promellian battle cruiser. The Promellian function as a militarized interstellar culture whose surviving artifacts serve as political and cultural signifiers, anchoring historical claims, informing contemporary research, and posing latent hazards uncovered by modern explorers.
