the Ratatosk Cluster is one many enigmatic space formations in my comic universe, in essence it is a galaxy that has shaped itself into a very distinct pattern - several other such galaxies exist and are considered to be extensions of living deities by some but do not show much sign of actually being sentient (at least not in as grand a fashion as other cosmic types in a comic setting).

the Ratatosk Cluster holds special significance as it is considered a "messenger" of things to come - with all the super-furs and alien invasions going on in the "main" galaxy there are beliefs by some furs that even greater powers lay within the Ratatosk Cluster, which will either aid in finding peace or open a larger range of threats to an already unstable galaxy.

(yes I'm aware the head has cut off a bit, still using the harmony project to get the "abstract effects" and thus had limited space: http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ .. some day I'll upgrade my computer and get to actually doing more of these kinds of pics on a larger and more complete scale)
