I really like the light effect from behind the planet and the outlines/sectors of the cover
Very sci-fi-like!

I do not want to seem cruel and boring, but I have a few comments about your art. Pay attention to them.
1. Large text merges with the luminary. The sun as if eats a piece of a letter and intends to eat the rest.
You can fix it, I suppose, like this: add a dark outline or turn the text into a bulky metal, or make the text larger so that it occupies 1/3 of the cover.
2. The foreground with space ships looks dull and inconspicuous against the backdrop of bright orange space.
There is an idea how to make the ships more attractive: make them larger and add saturation in case you decide to cool the background.
You made the letters next to the luminary, so that when you look at the cover, people first of all see the name of the book? I'm right? I paid no attention to the rest, except for the galaxy map: it is very similar to the Milky Way map from Mass Effect

I well i found I have been listening to different songs, looking for inspiration for then Anthems of my factions for my book.
The Kotoran Empire
especially. I fond a song that not only fits the character of the faction to a Tee. but I'm not shore if I can us or more specifically do a variation of it.
This is the song www.youtube.com/watch?v=G136GO…
I under stand if you do not have an opinion one way or the other, but I am cureus.

An interesting choice. It seems to me that the flag does not suit the faction a little, whose mood (most likely) is firm and even aggressive. The colors are calm and peaceful, and the music creates a conflict between "peace" and "fighting spirit."

True But with context a flag take on meaning both internally & existentially.
The image on the flag is of a native plant on the Kotoran Home world, Called the Kotoran.
The Kotoren, a “weed” of the desert. One would assume such A thoroughly useless thing, of little value. more a nuisance than anything. If left uncheck it will spearhead even in the harshest of environments & once it has taken rood it is very had to remove or kill…
Still, it is not without some value. It is tough resilient & hardy; it can sustain itself even if there is next to nothing to support it. Not only that it can also be ingested & because of its uncanny ability to produce oxygen it has proven to be a fine recuse for our ships life support systems.
What an Irony it is that something so, egregious would hold such use… I can not help but feel a repour with it, A common ground if you will. We are now little more than a weed struggling in a harsh environment were every day is a struggle to live & grow.
& yet we persevere, but if left uncheck will we two spared across the stars? What an Irony that we should have so much in common with such a useless yet utterly invaluable thing as the Kotoran.

This are some of the soldiers I have made for the Kotoran Empire.
the Hammer & cross Bayonets is the with a Red back ground, is the Crest of the Imperial army.
For the Navy it's a Anvil & a sword.

Imagery are very important to the Kotorans, a representation of who they are as a people.
A poster you see on there worlds is that of a black smith making a sword.
The hammer is the army, The Anvil the Navy, The Smithy the People of Kotora & the Sword is Destiny, or the future.
The Army & Navy, are but tools of the people.

This looks pretty neat. The sector map and the fleet of ships draws attention to the nature of the story, the hard-sci aspect and the wide-reaching scope.
