yeah, assuming any kind of organic life can survive in those conditions,  you could absolutely have giant humans who have altered their bodies to be manta ray shaped, a bit like CM Kosemen's All tomorrows series of future humans

the layered colonization effort definitely sounds good

Here's the inner sphere star list up to 100 ly

you are very welcome to write a minor polity- even if it were around a high value star 1000ish years from now, you don't need to write the entire history of the star system- you can write a polity that exists for a mere 500 years in a single orbital habitat if you want, whether or not it exists within, or next to some larger polity.  Yes a minor polity could absolutely exist around Rho Ophiuchi (360ly from Sol).  this one ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_Ophiuchi
also, the polity can exist tangentially to some S2 or S3 who inhabits the system, uses all the important strategic resources, but doesn't actually manage the society you describe. They could still be very important locally on the modosophont/ human level while still being the equivalent of moss growing on your houses' gutter on a cosmic / Transapient politics level. (we could probably argue that most modosophont polities are like this too)

Hello Dfleymmes1134,

Thank you for the advice (And thanks for the information on Kaijus, though they seem WAY too big for my purposes. I was thinking more along the lines of the size of the average giant squid.) - I will probably come back in some time once I have come up with sufficient ideas to run them by everyone again. Also, after reading the article on S2 transapients, I read that they would only be about 5 billion times better than modosophonts at uninteresting/repetitive tasks. If this is the case, than could the modosophonts basically serve in a role where they did the uninteresting/repetitive tasks while the S2 did the interesting and important stuff? Regarding this, should I continue posting my questions in this thread, or should I start a new one? If the latter, where should I put the new thread?

Also, what would be approximately the maximum population that the archailects would allow in some random system? And how fast were the fastest ships (multi-stage ships, with magbrakes) in the early federation age?

Sincerely,
Rho Ophiuchi
