Consider that the emblem of the Republic is a somewhat similar figure but with eight sides instead of six. It could very well be that this use of a weaker, less aesthetically pleasing symmetry is exactly what led to the latter's downfall in the first place. The Sith no doubt knew all along that a society based on octagonality would ultimately collapse before a more hexagonal alternative. </p> Fri, 28 May 2010 16:21:48 +0000 https://hexnet.org/content/insignia-galactic-empire https://hexnet.org/content/insignia-galactic-empire
