{{separate continuity|universe=TOS|cont=Dynamite Comics}}The '''Empyrean Expanse''' is a region of space [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|the Fleet]] pass through on their journey to [[Earth (TOS-DE alternate)|Earth]] sometime after [[7348 (alternate)|7348]].
[[File:BSG - Counterstrike - Otaaki Resettle the Kiernu Homeworld.png|thumb|The [[Okaati]] resettle the [[Kiernu homeworld]] following the {{alt|Cylons|TOS-DE}}' extermination of the [[Kiernu]] ({{comics|classic|5}}).]]
The '''Kiernu homeworld''' is located in the [[Empyrean Expanse]] and is home to the [[Kiernu]], the last of the known species within that region to have been victimized by the [[Okaati]]. Sometime after [[7348 (alternate)|7348]], a narrow passage near the Kiernu homeworld is bypassed by [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|the Fleet]], much to the consternation of its [[Kiernu Chancellor|Chancellor]] ({{Comics|classic|0}} & {{Comics|classic|4|short=y}}).  


The homeworld is later invaded by the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylons]] under [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)|Lucifer]]'s charge to offer "education" to its inhabitants for failure to either stop or delay the Fleet ({{Comics|classic|1}}).
This nebula teems with various humanoid [[Empyrean Expanse#Species|sentient life]]. Despite the varieties of life, the nebula's natural state renders most scanning devices nearly useless, with few exceptions ({{Comics|classic|0}}).


Assuming the mantle of leader of the [[Comitat]], Commander [[Adama (TOS-DE alternate)|Adama]] gives the planet to the Okaati for them to settle upon before the Fleet's departure on its search for [[Earth (TOS-DE alternate)|Earth]] ({{Comics|classic|5}}).
Since the incursion of the [[Okaati]] over a millennia ago, resource scarcity of [[Tylium (TOS-DE alternate)|tylium]] reigns and those various species victimized by the Okaati create their own ''[[W:Posse comitatus|posse comitatus]]'', the [[Comitat]] ({{Comics|classic|4}}).


== Locations ==
=== The Narrows ===
The Narrows are known by the inhabitants as an area of the nebula "where intense clouds offer few paths of escape."
Sometime during or thereafter 7348, [[Parrin]] directs [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|the Fleet]] to the Narrows as part of her plan to capture the civilian ships to use as tokens to exchange for tylium from the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylons]] ({{Comics|classic|3}}).
With ''[[Galactica (TOS-DE alternate)|Galactica]]'' left behind by Okaati treachery, the [[Comitat]] are able to intercept the [[Battlestar (TOS-DE alternate)|battlestar]] and force Commander Adama to stand trial for the Colonials role in aiding their enemy ({{Comics|classic|4}}).
== Species ==
[[File:BSG - Counterstrike - Species of the Empyrean Expanse.png|thumb|An assemblage of species inhabiting the Expanse, who also comprises the Comitat ({{Comics|classic|4}}).]]
=== Akabolans ===
A species named by [[Thane (title)|Thane]] [[Korbok]] as he relates the history of the [[Okaati]]'s victimization to Commander [[Adama (TOS-DE alternate)|Adama]] ({{Comics|classic|4}}).
=== Arunha ===
A species named by [[Parrin]] to Commander Adama ({{Comics|classic|2}}).
=== Kiernu ===
{{Mainarticle|Kiernu}}
A species the Fleet encounters prior to deeper egress into the Expanse, and their eventual encounter with the Okaati. The Kiernu demonstrate hostility to outsiders that verges on xenophobic, at least to the perception of the Colonials. Later, Thane Korbok reveals that the Kiernu—mass-exterminated by the Cylons under [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)|Lucifer]]'s command for failing to hinder the Colonials' travels—were once welcoming people, whose generosity was taken advantage of by the Otakki a [[yahren]] prior to their encounter with humans.

=== Stoquah ===
A species named by Thane Korbok as he relates the history of the Okaati's victimization to Commander Adama ({{Comics|classic|4}}).
=== Zarai ===
The species of [[Thane (title)|Thane]] [[Korbok]], mentioning them as "mighty," as he relates the history of the Okaati's victimization to Commander Adama ({{Comics|classic|4}}).
