A few tens of billions of light years across. It depends on a rather flimsy ladder of distance measurements so I'm not sure exactly how big. > And how can you govern as God-Emperor without FTL communications? I was planning to wave my arms in the general direction of the night sky and say "I claim these worlds in the name of myself, Richard the First and Last, God-Emperor of the Known Universe." The rest is mere technicalities - I'll let the engineers deal with them while I'm consolidating my rule here on Earth. Actually, I think I'll go outside to check if it's clear and get on with that claiming right now... > And if you have them, could you share with the rest of us? Sure. Have a super-cluster.
