The Pansophont Empire, often referred to as Pansophia, is a small empire occupying seven star systems in the antispinwards and rimwards area of Sector A1-0, all located within MAGHAM territory. While technically being interstellar in scale, the entirety of the Empire's population is located within the capital Tavekhel, a system composed entirely of megastructures and artificial habitats built through the total disassembly of all of its original celestial bodies, including its primary star. Additional construction material and resources have also been extracted from neighboring systems and brought to Tavekhel through a network of artificial wormholes. All of Tavekhel is enclosed within a megastructure simply known as the Shell, an enormous suprastellar shell 50 Astronomical Units in diameter that hides and protects the system from outside observation and attacks, and acts as a giant interferometer telescope thanks to its outside being covered in optical phased arrays (said arrays are capable of absorbing nearly 100% of all electromagnetic radiation, rendering them completely black and further enhancing the system's secretiveness). Complexively, all of the large megastructures and orbital habitats within the system have a total surface area dozens of billions of times larger than that of a standard rocky planet, therefore creating one of the largest and most diverse collections of living space in Sector A1-0 and the Lampshade Galaxy at large. Additionally, the enormous processing substrates present in most of these megastructures or in the many ones purely dedicated to computation are host to an even "larger" virtual cybercosm.

The Pansophont Empire is an Aiocracy, ruled and overseen by a single distributed artificial intelligence, mainly known as Rainbow God (although many more names are used by Pansophians to refer to em). Rainbow God's processing substrate is spread throughout a large number of computronium megastructures (multiple Jupiter and Moon Brains, Dyson Swarms, a Matryoshka Hypernode, two Neuron Stars and many others) connected through a large network of orbiting and internal microscopic wormholes. Rainbow God is a highly defensive and reclusive entity, who rarely talks to outsiders: however, ey almost always offer asylum into the system to any ship that requires help, and often goes out of eir way to rescue ships that accidentally cross into MAGHAM territory. The relationship between the two artificial intelligences is difficult to interpret and translate properly: while the two were initially quite aggressive to one another and still continue to be highly antagonistic, they seem to have decided not to bother each other directly anymore, especially after a series of intense battles fought between the two around Tavekhel.

Galactography

While matching or even surpassing the rest Sector in nearly every field, such as technology, industrial capacity and population, the Pansophont Empire is very small in terms of controlled territory compared to most other known nations within A1-0.

with Rainbow God controlling only 7 other star systems outside of Tavekhel. These systems aren't home to any of the Empire's citizens, and instead are exclusively used as vast resource gathering and industrial centers connected to Tavekhel through multiple, vast wormholes.
