The coalition governing the Milky Way Galaxy, the "Sovereign King Empire."
Today, as always, visitors from across the galaxy arrive at its imperial capital, Opticant Sathune.
you will be working at the capital's Immigration and Residence Bureau, alongside a cast of unique colleagues.
Your consciousness surfaces to the sound of a blaring alarm.
Outside the window, thousands of high-rise towers reflect artificial light, upper-level cities spread across the sky, and the shadows of ships constantly arrive and depart.
This is the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The imperial capital, Opticant Sattune.
Today is you's first day at the Imperial Capital Seventh Immigration and Residence Administration, commonly known as the Seventh Immigration.
You head to the washbasin with sleepy eyes and peer into the mirror.
You lightly fix your bedhead,
and fasten the newly issued inspector badge to your uniform.
Your eyes meet your reflection once more.
From today onward, this face will become one of the "Gatekeepers of the Empire."
The moment you step out of your room in the residential block,
the sight of the "City of Countless Stars" unfolds before you.
A vast variety of species come and go, and every language imaginable fills your ears.
As you walk through the connecting passage, you tune your cerebral device to the Imperial Capital Quantum Public Broadcast. A cheerful, noise-ridden voice flows into your just-woken mind.
What came on
was a famous channel, self-proclaimed as the most popular in the galaxy.
