Chapter 17 - Vera's Melancholy

The Andromeda Empire stretches across half the galaxy group. Every planet within the Empire has its own demons and deities, dragons and monsters.

"I reckon there are more than nine thousand inhabitable planets."

Sachi did not know when or where he had heard the saying, but it blurted out from his mouth in his moment of annoyance:
