Possibly very similar to Jack Agyar's. There's a decent amount of 
circumstantial evidence that the Jenoine peopled Dragaera with transplanted 
humans ('small invisible lights' et al), so it's (barely) possible that you 
can draw connections between /all/ of Steve's works... 

On a similar subject, doubtless someone's brought this up before, but:
1. There are remarkable similarities between the descriptions of cacoastrum 
and amorphia, and 'using one's own illiaster' smacks of pre-Empire sorcery.
2. If you're outside the known universe you've probably got a wildly 
different perspective on 'space'... 

Angels as Jenoine? Just barely possible. (AFB at moment, so can't provide 
any sort of decent textev, even assuming such exists.)
