Heavens

The First Heaven is the planetary atmosphere, the Second Heaven is outer (inter-galactic) space. Taken together the Heavens are the physical and spiritual universe. Above and beyond the Heavens is the Third Heaven; the Heaven of Heavens, where God dwells.

The War in Heaven takes place in Outer Space and in the Spiritual Realms, between the forces of Light and Darkness, although some factions such as the Imperium of Humanity are neutral or contain shades of gray. Within the Imperium is both dark and light and various political and religious groupings; the internal intrigue within the Imperial hierarchy reflects the conflict between Light and Dark, Good and Evil.
