Fiction:Cyrannus Galaxy

Also known as Quadrant 00

The Cyrannus Galaxy (also known as Messier 101, NGC 5457 or the Pinwheel Galaxy) is a face-on spiral galaxy distanced 23 million light-years away. It was first documented by humans in the 18th Century. It is a relatively large galaxy compared to the The Milky Way. With a diameter of 170,000 light-years it is nearly twice the size of the Milky Way. It is famous for being home to many large and rich empires, mainly the United Republic of Cyrannus and the Basileus Imperium, though much of the galaxy remains unexplored, this exploration was halted by the Intergalactic War which effected the galaxy largely. Despite this, it remains one of the most influential galaxies in the First Gigaquadrant.

Local Space
Cyrannus has many nearby companion galaxies known as the Quadrants, where many famous empires like the Imperial Alliance and Rambo Nation originate. Both Cyrannus and the Quadrants have many ancient structures which may link an ancient civilization together.

This close link made Rambo Nation, the first empire in the universe to contact the CSA, which eventually grew into a huge alliance, now known as the Cyrandia Alliance

United Republic of Cyrannus
The URC control a significant area of Cyrannus, mostly around the Core and the nearby Galactic Arms.

Its influence has been severally diminished in the Intergalactic War, but it has since recovered with over 970,000 colonies in the galaxy.

Basileus Imperium
The Basileus Imperium is the second largest empire in the galaxy with near 14,000 systems under its command, it is large, secretive and intelligent. The URC still has no communication with this empire yet.

However, the time is near.

List of Empires

 * United Republic of Cyrannus-Number of Colonies in Cyrannus- 560,000 colonial systems.


 * Basileus Imperium- Number of colonies in Cyrannus- 14,000 system


 * Mortalitas Empire Colonies


 * DCP Colonies under the Warlord Bo Ramik


 * Federation of the Core Worlds under High Viceroy Kendron Vy'rii


 * Sylit Republic colonies led by Supervisor Tiksent and Supervisor Xalaje

Many more mainly peaceful empires.

The Core
The Core used to be controlled by the Grox, but the URCs more advanced arsenal led to their extinction in Cyrannus. It is now under near complete control of the URC, and has many unique and lovely worlds.

Capricorn Arm
The Capricorn Arm is one of the many spiral arms of Cyrannus home of some of the most prestigious, well-developed, well-known, and heavily populated planets in the galaxy. The Capricorn Sector is located here. The planets in the Arm were extremely wealthy and highly developed, and could be referred to as export powerhouses. Many produced vast amounts of raw materials.

Cyanria Sector
The Cyanria Sector is found beside the Capricorn arm and houses the Core Federation's smallest extragalactic territory, the Commonwealth of Cyanria. Its 3,500 colonies are virtually inhabited only by Ravenrii. Though the size of a Commonwealth of the Federation's on other galaxies usually reflects the importance or wealth of the galaxy where the commonwealth in question is located, the URC only approved of the Federation's colonization of 3,500 systems.

Quadrant Galaxies
The Quadrant Galaxies of Rambo Nation, the Imperial Alliance and the Acientia Kingdom are the companions of Cyrannus, all are located very close to one another, due to this an ancient connection with the Thirteenth Tribe and the Rambo Gods may have been formed.

Real Galaxy
The giant spiral disk of stars, dust, and gas is 170,000 light-years across or nearly twice the diameter of our galaxy, the Milky Way. M101 is estimated to contain at least one trillion stars. Approximately 100 billion of these stars could be like our Sun in terms of temperature and lifetime.

The galaxy's spiral arms are sprinkled with large regions of star-forming nebulae. These nebulae are areas of intense star formation within giant molecular hydrogen clouds. Brilliant young clusters of hot, blue, newborn stars trace out the spiral arms. The disk of M101 is so thin that Hubble Telescope easily sees many more distant galaxies lying behind the galaxy.

M101 (also nicknamed the Pinwheel Galaxy) lies in the northern circumpolar constellation, Ursa Major (The Great Bear), at a distance of 25 million light-years from Earth. Therefore, we are seeing the galaxy as it looked 25 million years ago — when the light we're receiving from it now was emitted by its stars — at the beginning of Earth's Miocene Period, when mammals flourished and the Mastodon first appeared on Earth. The galaxy fills a region in the sky equal to one-fifth the area of the full moon.
