+Intel on the sociopolitical structures of the Xianzhou Luofu, exclusive to Pom-Pom's tabloid!
+Now, let conductor Pom-Pom tell you all about it.
+----
+==== The Six Commissions ====
+{{ :external:pompom.intel:pompom-intel-1-1.jpg?200|}}
+//**Demystifying the Xianzhou Luofu's political structure**//
+As a civilization built on starships, Xianzhou's social structure is composed of six departments that have responsibilities in six different fields.
+The departments are:
+  * Cloud Knights
+  * Divination Commission
+  * Sky-Faring Commission
+  * Alchemy Commission
+  * Artisanship Commission
+  * Realm-Keeping Commission
+----
+==== Cloud Knights ====
+{{ :external:pompom.intel:pompom-intel-1-2.jpg?200|}}
+//**Split the sky, shatter the stars, draw back the bow, and launch the hunt.**//
+The Cloud Knights are Xianzhou's military institution. Each Xianzhou ship has a general commanding the army, with a marshal overseeing all generals. The Cloud Knights are responsible for wiping out Abominations of Abundance, and regards an almost impossible task — putting an end tot he undead corruption among the stars — as their duty.
+----
+==== Divination Commission ====
+{{ :external:pompom.intel:pompom-intel-1-3.jpg?200|}}
+//**Examine omens, question fate, and deliberate the future.**//
+As its name suggests, the Divination Commission's main tasks are to predict the future, and to process and preserve information. Through the crystal technology called "the jade abacus," the Divination Commission's diviners chart the ships' routes, strategize with foresight, and scry into the past to predict the future.
+----
+==== Sky-Faring Commission ====
+{{ :external:pompom.intel:pompom-intel-1-4.jpg?200|}}
+//**Stars glitter in the heavenly river, clouds stream through**//
+As the name suggests, the Sky-Faring Commission is in charge of affairs related to Xianzhou's internal airspace and interstellar navigation. All matters related to flight are the domains of the Sky-Faring Commission. The starskiff maintenance you often see on the Xianzhou also falls within their jurisdiction.
+----
+==== Alchemy Commission ====
+{{ :external:pompom.intel:pompom-intel-1-5.jpg?200|}}
+//**Temperament and spirit fuse, as the dead springs back to life.**//
+The Alchemy Commission is responsible for biological and medical research. It is said that in ancient times, the ancestors of Xianzhou natives were not immortal. In order to be free from the three sufferings of old age, sickness, and death, they set sail to seek divine medicine. After gaining immortality, the Alchemy Commission used the miracle left by the Aeon to demonstrate the way of immortality. But now, the Alchemy Commission is in decline, and finally became a place where Outworlders seek medical treatment.
+----
+==== Artisanship Commission ====
+{{ :external:pompom.intel:pompom-intel-1-6.jpg?200|}}
+//**Calm in heart, skilled in hand, observation keen, ingenuity engineered.**//
+Artisanship is about crafting and manufacturing. Any object imaginable that can be manufactured, such as weapons, ship parts, ingenious robots, and artificial intelligence, are all produced by the craftsmasters here. They pursue ingenious skills and strife for the goal of completing the "Great Smelting Furnace" ritual, and being awarded the title of "Furnace Master."
+----
+==== Realm-Keeping Commission ====
+{{ :external:pompom.intel:pompom-intel-1-7.jpg?200|}}
+The Realm-Keeping Commission is Xianzhou's administrative organization, and the Commission that Xianzhou residents would normally have the most contact with. The Realm-Keeping Commission is responsible for matters such as population statistics, resource allocation, and calendar timing. Some of its staff are scholars who conduct professional academic research in sociology and ecology.
