Tiamat is an oceanic planet, accessible to the Hegemony only through wormhole travel. Though the Hegemony has large-scale interstellar travel and high technology, it has not yet returned to the Empire's level of technological prowess. A small remnant of this Old Empire coalesces into a group of seven planets known as the Hegemony. The Galactic Empire, which once ruled large portions of the galaxy, fell into decay millennia ago. Tiamat's suns orbit a black hole, which facilitates interstellar wormhole travel and connects Tiamat to the rest of the civilized galaxy (the "Hegemony", the remnants of a fallen Galactic Empire). īased on the 1844 fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen, The Snow Queen takes place on a mostly oceanic planet called Tiamat. It won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1981, and was also nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1981. The Snow Queen is a 1980 science fiction novel by American writer Joan D.
