Who can explain how an FSD works? All I know about them is that they're Thargoid tech that was reverse-engineered for human use a couple hundred years ago...

Edit: Thanks Jubei!

In terms of lore, could anyone recommend a good lore-focused Discord/Squadron?

Canonn research is the way to go on that one.

Anyone else wonder if someone's bothered to tell the Empire that they currently have an Empress reigning? All the GalNet entries reference an Emperor despite Arissa ruling.

Itaress, if you take the time to read a little further back in Galnet, you will find that it was Arissa herself who opted to take the title of Emperor instead of Empress. Her decision was made in deference to the fact that the Empire had so far had an unbroken line of male emperors.

Edit: In fact I think I have misremembered this myself. Whilst I am fairly sure that Arissa did at some point claim the decision was hers, the accession was reported by Galnet back in 3301 as follows:

Standing on the steps of the Senate building, Chancellor Anders Blaine announced the Senate's decision on the succession. In a historic selection, and as a result of a clear majority vote, Arissa Lavigny-Duval will be the next ruler of the Empire. She will be the first female leader of the Empire since Marlin Duval founded the original colony on Achenar in the 23rd Century, although she will carry the title 'Emperor' rather than 'Empress'. Such an appointment would have been impossible prior to the reign of Hengist Duval due to an ancient decree that all Imperial rulers be male, but a ruling passed by the late Emperor early in his reign did away with this generations-old tradition.

The full story is currently on page 8 of Inara's Galnet archive.

Anyone know any open source or documents regarding Thargoid/Guardian research. It doesn't have to be canon just as long as it's related to either of those species.

Have you checked out the ED Wiki? It's a good place to start.

When you rule your own empire you can use any damn title you please.

The reigning monarch of the UK in the late 20th Century to early 21st Century (Common Era), a Queen, held a title of Duke of Lancaster rather than Duchess.

Well they were a crazy, mixed-up family.
