The Constellations

43:0.1Uran­tia is com­monly re­ferred to as 606 of Sa­ta­nia in Nor­la­ti­adek of Neb­a­don, mean­ing the six hun­dred sixth in­hab­ited world in the lo­cal sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia, sit­u­ated in the con­stel­la­tion of Nor­la­ti­adek, one of the one hun­dred con­stel­la­tions of the lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don. Con­stel­la­tions be­ing the pri­mary di­vi­sions of a lo­cal uni­verse, their rulers link the lo­cal sys­tems of in­hab­ited worlds to the cen­tral ad­min­is­tra­tion of the lo­cal uni­verse on Sal­ving­ton and by re­flec­tiv­ity to the super­ad­min­is­tra­tion of the An­cients of Days on Uversa.

43:0.2The gov­ern­ment of your con­stel­la­tion is sit­u­ated in a clus­ter of 771 ar­chi­tec­tural spheres, the cen­ter­most and largest of which is Eden­tia, the seat of the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­thers, the Most Highs of Nor­la­ti­adek. Eden­tia it­self is ap­prox­i­mately one hun­dred times as large as your world. The sev­enty ma­jor spheres sur­round­ing Eden­tia are about ten times the size of Uran­tia, while the ten satel­lites which re­volve around each of these sev­enty worlds are about the size of Uran­tia. These 771 ar­chi­tec­tural spheres are quite com­pa­ra­ble in size to those of other con­stel­la­tions.

43:0.3Eden­tia time reck­on­ing and dis­tance mea­sure­ment are those of Sal­ving­ton, and like the spheres of the uni­verse cap­i­tal, the con­stel­la­tion head­quar­ters worlds are fully sup­plied with all or­ders of ce­les­tial in­tel­li­gences. In gen­eral, these per­son­al­i­ties are not very dif­fer­ent from those de­scribed in con­nec­tion with the uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion.

43:0.4The super­vi­sor ser­a­phim, the third or­der of lo­cal uni­verse an­gels, are as­signed to the ser­vice of the con­stel­la­tions. They make their head­quar­ters on the cap­i­tal spheres and min­is­ter ex­ten­sively to the en­cir­cling mor­ontia-train­ing worlds. In Nor­la­ti­adek the sev­enty ma­jor spheres, to­gether with the seven hun­dred mi­nor satel­lites, are in­hab­ited by the uni­v­i­ta­tia, the per­ma­nent cit­i­zens of the con­stel­la­tion. All these ar­chi­tec­tural worlds are fully ad­min­is­tered by the var­i­ous groups of na­tive life, for the greater part un­re­vealed but in­clud­ing the ef­fi­cient spironga and the beau­ti­ful sporna­gia. Be­ing the mid-point in the mor­ontia-train­ing regime, as you might sus­pect, the mor­ontia life of the con­stel­la­tions is both typ­i­cal and ideal.
