P.166 - §2 1. The System. The basic unit of the
supergovernment consists of about one thousand inhabited or inhabitable
worlds. Blazing suns, cold worlds, planets too near the hot suns, and
other spheres not suitable for creature habitation are not included in
this group. These one thousand worlds adapted to support life are called
a system, but in the younger systems only a comparatively small number
of these worlds may be inhabited. Each inhabited planet is presided over
by a Planetary Prince, and each local system has an architectural sphere
as its headquarters and is ruled by a System Sovereign. |

P.602 - §4 Lucifer and his first assistant, Satan,
had reigned on Jerusem for more than five hundred thousand years when
in their hearts they began to array themselves against the Universal Father
and his then vicegerent Son, Michael. |

P.511 - §3 The present head of Satania is a gracious
and brilliant ruler, and he is a rebellion-tested sovereign. When serving
as an assistant System Sovereign, Lanaforge was faithful to Michael in
an earlier upheaval in the universe of Nebadon. This mighty and brilliant
Lord of Satania is a tried and tested administrator. At the time of the
second system rebellion in Nebadon, when the System Sovereign stumbled
and fell into darkness, Lanaforge, the first assistant to the erring chief,
seized the reins of government and so conducted the affairs of the system
that comparatively few personalities were lost either on the headquarters
worlds or on the inhabited planets of that unfortunate system. Lanaforge
bears the distinction of being the only primary Lanonandek Son in all
Nebadon who thus functioned loyally in the service of Michael and in the
very presence of the default of his brother of superior authority and
antecedent rank. Lanaforge will probably not be removed from Jerusem until
all the results of the former folly have been overcome and the products
of rebellion removed from Satania. |
