Another page. The black lines on each side were for cropping the art to get the correct aspect ratio.

Despite all their super-technic advances, they are still very tradition-bound, both in religious/superstitious adherences and various social/cultural aspects that have not changed much in several thousand years. They are still very aware of that long history and tradition behind everything they do.
There are still pilgramages to various important sites and it was well in to their early industrial period that potentially dangerous entry into manhood ordeals were still expected.

Elin was likely thinking of more Japanese, likely the feudal imperial structure and some of the social bits too.
Then too, many cultures have aspects in common. And as much of the plots will involve woman's issues, there are features that women from Republican Rome, Ottoman Istambul, or Edo Kyoto would find familiar between them.
A story I've been working on borrows heavily on aspects of Imperial Roman rules regarding social status and rules of kinship and inheritance. However, I'd bet that some of that would also be not dissimilar from any number of other cultures and historical periods.

Short form answer, Fehnniks are ever so cute little guys who are also fierce warriors. Though they are very technically advanced, starfaring and all that, their politics are still rather feudal, and when an enemy threatens, it is the various noble houses who muster forces to serve the Empire. In the main current story, the Scion of House Zod gets himself stupidly injured and unfit to lead the House's forces. But it would be a critical political disaster for the House to not have a blood member of the House in that position, so the twin Sister of the Scion intends to masquerade in his place. The obvious perils and complications are compounded by the social and cultural taboos against females (especially ones of status) being out of the Home, in the military, in command of males, and going off planet.
The story has not proceeded enough to tell how well it all comes off, but She is learning that she is expected to be an actual leader in combat, as the command gunner on their space fighters. The page is where she is introduced to the atmospheric training craft.
