Recognizable references:
the Long Night, which Flandry had dreaded and long staved off, has come, like the Ragnarok in Norse mythology;
the Terran Empire is in ruins;
familiar planetary names - Lochlann, Kraken, Sassania;
Tom's ship has entered a part of space that was Imperial territory but is unknown to him or to either of his wives.
He says that that can mean anything but there is one difference from what the Grand Survey found. Old Imperial territory will contain not only many inhabited planets but also many humanly inhabited planets, isolated colonies - like the situation in Star Trek where the humanoids are all supposed to be aliens.
The adventure continues and all that.
