CONCEPT

Category 7 Galactic Traveler Glory of Gladness and Category 9 Galactic TravelerExtents of Imagination are the most advanced Human starships I have designed. They both exist in the far future Galactic Travelers fictional universe, during an era later than that of Category 6 Galactic Traveler Olaf Stapledon, Category 7 Galactic Traveler Core of Curiosity, and Category 8 Galactic Traveler Radiant Dawn. The Glory of Gladness is based at the Extents of Imagination.
