Average Imperial Planet..?

[casquilho]

I often wonder what if instead of the 3I as the OTU what if GDW had started with a campaign background universe based on pocket empires emerging from the long night?

I have always like this idea. Not have a mega-large and massive empire, but lots of smaller groupings. Same goes for outside the human space. Clan holdings for Aslan for example. Seems this would offer even more opportunity for adventure.
