Fiction:Andromeda Galaxy

The Andromeda galaxy is a large galaxy near the. It is primarily controlled by the, which was later absorbed into the , which was later absorbed into the , but also contains some non-affiliated residents. The most common inhabitants are the s, along with many non-native species such as the s and Shka'Tun. The also originate from this galaxy, but their presence is negligible.

History
In Progress

Political division
Before the Annihilation and the Vartekian War, most of the galaxy was controlled by a single leader - the, and Andromeda was generally peaceful. Recently, however, the Confederation was pushed to the rims of the galaxy, resulting in areas close to the core being taken by the new empires like the Divinarium, Draconis and Wentals. As a result, most of the Andromeda, especially the outer core, is in chaos now.

Economics
Trade between the various empires is uncommon in the Andromeda, but not unheard of. Larger empires living in the rims have enclosed, self-sufficient economies due to their sheer size and post-scarcity societies, while empires close to the core are more receptive, actively trading with each other. However, at the same time, piracy in the outer core is common as well.

Technology
Andromeda empires are quite advanced in technology, due to many precursor tech being left there by the ancient civilisations. The most advanced extant civilisation in the galaxy is the located in the rims of the galaxy.

Society
Andromeda is a diverse galaxy, and society is different in every single part of it. From the dictatorships of the Divinarium and the Wental States to the liberal societies of the Draconis Empire and the Confederacy of Allied Systems, it varies greatly from the empire to empire.

The Galactic Core
The Galactic Core is a mysterious wonder in which only the Nasayda and Vartekians have explored. The Vartekians were enlightened here and put special protection toward it. Currently the Nasayda are maintaining the protective device and help to guard the secrets of the core. Shortly before the Vartekian's arrival, the had led expeditions to the Galactic Core, as its core had strange phenomena associated with it.

There were rumors of "Andromedan Grox" colonising the Andromeda's core recently, but these are only rumors.

The Outer Core
The Outer Core is area around the Galactic Core. After the Annihilation, it became the most active part of the Andromeda, several empires from other galaxies settling there and rapidly expanding. It is also the main battlefield of.

The Outer Core is divided into the following sectors:
 * Twilight Sector
 * New Wental Sector
 * Alcantan Sector
 * Solona Cluster
 * Ravirin Sector

The Rim
The Rim is the outer part of the Andromeda Galaxy. Dominated by two powerful empires, the Rim is currently quiet.

The Rim is divided into two large sectors.
 * Tectalius Sector
 * Vartekian Sector

The Halo
The Halo is the outermost part of the Andromeda. It is barely colonised and there are little stars able to sustain life. So far, the only civilisation known to exist within The Halo is the.

Adnihilo Irritum Sector
The Adnihilo Irritum Sector is the previously inhabited area by the Xhodocto from 18100 BC up until about 6 years prior to the end of the War of Ages, although some of the technology has been present since 23000 BC, by unexplained circumstances. The area was also largely inhabited by the Congregation until it was dissolved. Approximately 71.6 million systems were under the Xhodocto's control (71,579,100 is an accepted number, although it may differ between 1 or 2 million, as no one has ever entered that area), and ~99% of the planets have since been untouched under fears of a spontaneous Xhodocto ambush. Rumors are that the Xhodocto still possibly inhabit that area under the reasons of intimidating other inhabitants. Other rumors include that Xhodocto technology is still present there, and other rumors are that there are secret Cult of the Deathmarch territories there. Considering this particular area has not been interacted with for 25000 years, all of these rumors are probable.

Inhabitants
Andromeda Galaxy is home to many civilisations, from good to evil, from strong to weak.

Life
According to the observations of the, the Andromeda Galaxy has a proportion of two silicon-based ecosystems for every five carbon-based ones — much higher than the average galaxy. Each planet dominated by silicon-based life colonised by the DSB have had the a closely-related set of lifeforms. Goulgan scientists theorised that the reproductive habits of the lifeforms allow them to spread eggs across star systems, which was later confirmed when the transported some of the "truly alien" Andromedabiota (as they came to be called) to the controlled conditions of the  nature reserve. Of these silicon-based organisms, no major spacefaring empires have been discovered, but many minor civilizations are known to exist.

The Vartekians have found special beings as well within the galaxy, but have only found one huge one per arm, and maybe a few other empires near to space. The Vartekians colonized this galaxy as their own almost 3 billion years ago; to secure it they formed the Confederation of Andromeda. The alliance became very powerful and moved out of Andromeda to different star clusters and galaxies, but in the months after the Annihilation, the Confederation joined its strong allies, the. Andromeda's first residents, however, were the Nasayda, who are an ancient and intelligent race. They came through another universe completely and when they found themselves in Andromeda they also found serenity.
