On this...
There are, as of 5300 CE, still no truly ancient empires in the Great Compass. The current order in the galaxy is about 250 years old, with the oldest of the currently existing power blocs having a history reaching back about 1000 years in various forms.

Coloured pencil drawings of flat folded card carses which open up into a wedge shape with a transparent screen, showing a 3-dimensional scene projected inside. One drawing shows one such case being opened and viewed by an anthropomorphic dog.
From the sketchbook, ink and coloured pencils.
Holocards, folded cases and open for display. Also showing a damaged case and a case with flip out controls.

GIMP, playtest markers.
Near space vehicles. Tugboats, shuttles, two dryships, a lab ship, and missiles.
Much better missiles than any that have been in the news lately. Strictly fictional and don't cost $10M tax money a pop.

Salt League machinery and crew.

Digital black and white painting of anthropomorphic painted wolf and raccoon, operating arcane machinery, seated in a transparent dome on the underside of a massive spacecraft. Behind them against a starry background a fleet of rocket-like spacecraft flies at speed.
Okay, since I didn't expect this to get traction...
This is my piece of the sky. Show yours if you got it - doesn't matter what it is, I want to see it.

Coloured pencil drawing of a hulking cyborg with canine features, covered in decals and tacky livery, being led through an ad-festooned arena by anthropomorphic canine cheerleaders in minimum effort sexualized uniforms, Roman candles blazing in the background. The cyborg's eyes are visibly bloodshot and erratic. One of the cheerleaders is holding an injector to her neck, apparently dosing up with a narcotic.

Four coloured pencil sketches of futuristic tanks with turrets in the shape of a torso with arms.
Two coloured pencil drawings of futuristic tanks, one of which has brightly coloured scenecore livery, and two monstrously large similarly sized crustacean creatures with abnormally shaped pincers.
From the sketchbook, ink and mixed coloured pencils, acrylic touchup (each appx. 5cm).
Jaeger platforms, as well as two Savitari macrosnapper carriers and a homebrew of similar function.
Split in two as BSky likes to crop tall columns weirdly.

A group of anthropomorphic mammals stand gathered in a dark room, in which an anthropomorphic serval is sitting on a cushion in a meditative pose, long silver cables trailing away from plugs at the base of her skull. Below the transparent floor a 3D projection shows an anthropomorphic genet running through a tropical forest landscape.
From the sketchbook, ink and coloured pencils.
The outrider can run as she pleases while the knights and their adjutants contemplate the hunt. There is already no hope; once the tuner has acquired and locked onto the target, there is no escape.

If you're as me with a troubled relationship with math, chances are reading this you got a chill. "Oh no, what are 'angular coordinates'? Is there going to be math? Is this game crunchy? Do I need to be an extra smart doggo?"
No, rest assured, #MereAnimals is low, low crunch.
But what are they?
Ink diagram of the galaxy with four cardinal directions radiating from the location of the Solar system, with "North" running through the center of the galaxy.
So what is going on when things in the Great Compass are described as being North, South etc in relation to each other? How do critters in space know where "North" is? Is there even a "North" in space?
Kind of. This is where galactic cardinals come in.

First person view of an anthropomorphic hairless canid, a squirrel, and a genet sniffing cameras, grotesquely distorted by lens proximity.
From left to right Savitari, Communion, Aggregate.
Even people-shaped critters sometimes can't resist sniffing the camera.
And talking in space is haaard...

Coloured pencil doodle showing two sketches of a sci-fi missile, first in its entirety and second a cutaway of its terminal stage. Below is a row of headshots of anthropomorphic animal characters: Least weasel; Eurasian lynx, bat-eared fox; Japanese marten; and garden dormouse. The fox is wearing a brocade eyepatch and the marten a bandana with romboids. The marten and dormouse have long head hair, the latter wearing cornrows.
From the sketchbook. Spacebound critters and sonic bomb (cruise delivery system left, terminal stage diagram on right). Weapon similar to those used by the Aggregate against Vespa 21. Component description below.
Also when in doubt, use a ruler. I didn't.

This.
The most common mecha in the Great Compass are mobility aids. I got the DnD combat wheelchair to thank for this; I didn't like how that was implemented so decided to see if I could do things differently, and the setting is better for it.
Mecha can be anything, for any reason.

From the sketchbook, mixed media. Inspired by the ill-fated boat shared by @brushwolf.bsky.social below.
Somewhere in the Great Compass, in the wilderness of an ancient colony, with the help of a cashew a long since derelict lander once more rises towards the stars.
