===The Chapel of the Emperor of Starfarers===

Technically, this huge temple of the Emperor was built after the one to the Omnissiah in Bay Six, but this bay was still in use as recently as a thousand years ago.  Originally, the void travelers who wished to worship the Emperor had to make do with one of over two hundred chapels of the Emperor scattered around the station, in lieu of a centralized chamber.  After the Adeptus Mechanicus took control of Bay Six to make the House of the Motive Force, however, the Navy immediately brought in the Adeptus Ministorum to refurbish this chamber into something of greater effort and spectacle.  To the surprise of the Navy, however, the Adeptus Ministorum Cloudburst, in all its addiction to spectacle and effort, hesitated to simply turn the miles-wide bay into a single, giant church.  The amount of construction and architecture that would require was so vast, so expensive, that it didn’t seem worthwhile.  To come up with an innovative solution, the Ecclesiarchy turned to its history, to the early days of its existence, when it was still a prosecuted thing, furtively worshipping the Emperor when His Imperial Truth still held sway over most of the Imperium.  These worship sessions took place in basements, closets, family homes, and other small places, away from the law.  Taking inspiration from this, the Ecclesiarchy rebuilt Bay Five as a great maze of several thousand individual rooms, from the floor of the bay all the way to the ceiling.  Each contains pews, kneelers, or chairs, as well as a single projection screen and a lectern at the front.  Each lectern contains a small cogitator with one of over fifteen thousand pre-approved sermons on the Emperor and His teachings that can be played for a single Throne’s cost, which then appear on the screen.  For those who want a larger congregation or a live sermon to watch, the wider rooms contain more traditional religious accoutrements.
