Fiction:Tyris Major

Information
Tyris Major is an average sized spiral galaxy within the Ikawa Eropisii Group of galaxies within the First gigaquadrant. Tyris Major is the largest galaxy within the Tyris Cluster. It is orbited by a few smaller irregular dwarf galaxies, the largest of which is known as Tyris Minor. The cluster is gravitationally bound to the much larger in much the same manner as the  are bound to the, orbiting Tyris Minor rather tightly which in turn orbits Mirus in a wide arc. Due to this, Tyris Major is not expected to collide with Mirus, except perhaps when perturbed by another passing galaxy.

Tyris Major appears to be the only galaxy within the cluster that sports well developed galactic alliances and empires, while it's satellite galaxies are either mostly uninhibited or never develop life intelligent enough to spread further than a few star systems. The Galaxy itself has been host to various empires, alliances, cultures, religions, species and various conflicts.

The primary language used by the inhabitants of Tyris Major is called Tyris Basic, which believed to be a sort of amalgamation of the languages used by long established species of the galactic community. There is no official galactic religion, though many species share the same beliefs.

Galactic Superpowers
This is a list of alliances that are made up of multiple empires that qualify as the superpowers on the galactic stage.

The Grand Republic of Tyris Major
The Grand Republic of Tyris Major (GRTM), also known as The Grand Republic or simply "The Republic", is the oldest alliance of galactic powers in the galaxy. They typically do not involve themselves in the conflicts of the Gigaquadrant, though they are known to fight if the need is great enough. They have a rather formidable military and the best trade network in the Tyris Cluster. Their goal is to bring Tyris Major together via diplomacy and eradicate the Infectant Horde in the process.

The Infecant Horde
The Infectant Horde is a tenacious and deadly galactic menace. While there have been many leaders of the Horde over the centuries, the goal of the Horde has remained the same: infect everything. When the infection is small, they are not much of a threat, but they can reproduce and spread rapidly among the stars, making them a very formidable foe. While they do sometimes ally with other empires, the Infectant Horde typically relies on its own strength. And with this strength they have threatened the likes of The Republic and UKA.
