The **Ambrosia Galaxy** is an unbarred, flocculent spiral galaxy located 134 million light-years away from the Via Lactea Galaxy. It is the second largest member of the Thavma Assemblage.

## **Overview**

Known by the official numeric designation NGC 7777777 by the Confederacy, it was later named Ambrosia due to its strikingly beautiful appearance. It is the home of four hundred billion stars, hundreds of billions of planets, and countless life forms. The galaxy is so abundant with life, it is theorized that around fifty percent of all star systems in the Ambrosia Galaxy contain at least one world with native life, making it one of the most life-filled galaxies in known space, with around ten percent of these systems containing a world housing a sapient species.

It was the home galaxy of the Etymology, an ancient intragalactic, and early intergalactic civilization that comprised hundreds of millions of sapient races and at its peaked controlled around eighty-seven percent of the entire galaxy.

The most powerful force in the galaxy is the C.Y.R.E.X. A hyper-intelligent A.I. hive mind, however it seems to only remain within the Ambrosia Core.

It was also the home of the short lived Human Alliance of Ambrosia, which served as an independent state of the Confederacy of Borealis, however the current governmental body that holds dominion over the galaxy, while remaining within the Confederacy of Borealis is the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems. This government functions as a democratic republic made up of several intelligent species. Other early embryonic to late type 3 civilizations are also located there.

A rather famous aspect of the Ambrosia Galaxy is the large amount of unique material and objects found exclusively within its borders. These materials, known as: "Thavmium" are quite varied, and can be classified as anything from a simple particle that is not found in any other known galaxy in the Local Universe, to an entire sapient species that have a respective inherent trait only known to themselves.

Ambrosia has had a long and storied history, as countless species, groups, empires and individuals have attempted to claim its sacred stars for countless eons. As the timeline of the galaxy spans billions of years, it is too complex to explain in full in any coherent and cohesive manner.

   The exact galactic geography of the Ambrosia Galaxy has been hotly debated for countless years as the galaxy's unorthodox spiral design has left it with a very unique design when compared to other spiral galaxies of comparable volume and diameter.

As a result, what defines a distinct region of Ambrosia has changed in the galaxy's wider popular culture several times, often times due to subjective or arbitrary reasons however currently the galaxy is separated into eight distinct regions of varying size. In most official orders they are as followed:

### **Ambrosia Core**

The Ambrosia Core is the first region of the Ambrosia Galaxy. Its borders are defined from the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center, to the edges of the galactic bulge. Due to this, the Ambrosia Core is the most densely packed of any galactic region in Ambrosia, with the average distance between non-gravitationally bound stars only reaching around half a light-year, and a total star population estimated to be around one hundred billion stars, accounting for around a quarter of the galaxy's entire star count.

The layout of the Ambrosia Core consists of a large central cluster of stars orbiting around the supermassive black hole, surrounded by a massive cloud of billions of other stars all going around the aforementioned center of mass. Across the bulge, numerous smaller star clusters have been formed due to the close proximity in which stars orbit the galactic center have with each other.

Countless species and civilizations have arose from within the Ambrosia core due to the sheer amount of stars located from within it, with the most notable being the Etymology who formed after the conclusion of the War of the Ten and would soon rest control of most of the known galaxy at the time.

### **Mid Arm**

The Mid Arm is the second officially recognized region of the galaxy, its borders are defined as a large encircling mass of galactic dust surrounding the galactic bulge that makes up the Ambrosia Core region. It is the smallest region of Ambrosia by diameter, spanning an area of twenty thousand light-years and containing around fifty billion stars.

Its layout is fairly compact when compared to the larger regions of the galaxy, with the average distance between stars spanning around a light-year, causing the region to be inhabited by numerous clusters of gravitationally bound stars.

Various civilizations have been founded from within the Mid Arm's borders, with the most notable and major being the Ambrosia Alliance of United Systems which as of 100,000 CE is the largest entity within the whole of the Ambrosia Galaxy, and as a result, they control more then seventy-five percent of the entire Mid Arm region, with the various other Great Powers of Ambrosia controlling almost the exact remainder.

### **Elysium Arm**

The Elysium Arm is the third galactic region of Ambrosia. Its borders are defined in a rather strange matter, comprising nearly half of the entire galaxy spanning from the Mid Arm to almost the farthest regions of the galaxy's respective borders. and is the largest in terms of both diameter, volume, and star count.

## **Satellite Galaxies**

The Ambrosia Galaxy has seven satellite galaxies in orbit around it. They are as followed:

### **Dryas Galaxy**

The Dryas Galaxy is the closest satellite galaxy to the Ambrosia Galaxy. Only containing around fifteen billion stars, the Dryas Galaxy contains around a fraction of the amount of sapient species that exist within its parent galaxy.

It orbits in very close proximity to, located at a distance of one hundred and twenty thousand light-years, making it dominate a large portion of Ambrosia's galactic "sky." Its orbit has slowly degraded overtime, as it has slowly but surely began to orbit itself towards Ambrosia. This will eventually reach its apotheoses and collide with its parent galaxy, theorized to take place around 5,000,000 BCE.

It housed several empires within its borders during its history, however the largest would be the "Dryas Collective," a late Type III civilization that united all of the intelligent species who lived in Dryas at the time and laid claim to all within the galaxy's respective borders.

During Ambrosia's mid Etymology-Era, the aforementioned civilization embroiled itself in an intergalactic war with the era's namesake, in a conflict known as the "Dryas Galactic War," ultimately losing the war against them and causing the Dryas Collective to be subsumed into the Etymology, making the latter empire span across multiple galaxies.

Currently, the Dryas Galaxy's rule is shared amongst four intragalactic civilizations, collectively referred to as the: "Dryas Fragments."

### **Elysium Galaxy**

The Elysium Galaxy is the largest satellite galaxy of the Ambrosia Galaxy, almost being perfectly half the size of Ambrosia in diameter, volume, and star count.

It orbits Ambrosia at a distance of around one million light-years, above the galaxy's "Elysium Arm," and due to its large size, it appears in a large portion of Ambrosia's galactic "sky."

### **Aeschylus Galaxy**

The Aeschylus Galaxy is the third satellite galaxy of Ambrosia. Serving as the third largest satellite galaxy of Ambrosia, it orbits away from its parent galaxy at a distance of around one million five hundred thousand light-years away from it, being easily visible from within Ambrosia.

Famously, the Aeschylus Galaxy in the ancient past once brushed across its parent galaxy, causing a large portion of its respective matter to become disturbed. This event would create the Ambrosia Galaxy's "Aeschylus Arm," while its namesake itself had it own structure distributed, turning the formal spiral galaxy into an unbarred one.

### **Fantasma Galaxy**

The Fantasma Galaxy is the fourth and second largest satellite galaxy to the Ambrosia Galaxy, orbiting it at a distance of around two million light-years, above the galaxy's "Fantasma Arm."

Due to its large size, the Fantasma Galaxy is easily visible from within Ambrosia itself, even appearing larger then the closer Aeschylus Galaxy.

### **Megalith Galaxy**

The Megalith Galaxy is the fifth satellite galaxy of Ambrosia and the only non-spiral satellite galaxy of it, being a small, Irregular cloud galaxy. Only containing around five hundred million stars, one would be able to count the amount of sapient species that call the small galaxy home in a manner of minutes.

Due to both its distance and small size, the Megalith Galaxy, while visible, only takes up a minuscule portion of Ambrosia's galactic "sky."

Famously, a signal originating from within the Megalith Galaxy was broadcasted all across Ambrosia, appearing every broadcast network across the entire Ambrosia Galaxy. The messaged read as: *"Let us become one,"* and was constantly repeated throughout the whole of the galaxy for an entire standard year. It remains unknown to any intragalactic entity of Ambrosia as to who or what may have sent this message as it has yet to manifest again.

### **Nekros Galaxy**

The Nekros Galaxy is the sixth satellite galaxy of the Ambrosia Galaxy. It is a small, barred spiral that takes a ghostly grey and white hue. It orbits Ambrosia at a distance of around two million, one hundred thousand light-years away from it, and due to this, and its fairly small size and diameter, appears very small from within Ambrosia itself.

Most famously, the Nekros Galaxy is completely devoid of any known sapient life, as the "Nekrodian Thavmaphage," a powerful and all encompassing bacterial life form with the ability to cause the rapid decay of cells destroyed all signs of life that once existed there in 2,890,000,980 BCE, which would later find itself in the Ambrosia Galaxy, but thankfully the Etymology would manage to eradicate it before it could do the same there. They would later take control of the now empty Nekros Galaxy.

Life has reemerged within the Nekros galaxy, but mysteriously, no signs of sapient life has been known to exist there, even though more then enough time has occurred for it to arise. Even the former Etymology member species that existed within the galaxy have mysteriously vanished, even though they were unaffected by the famous Red Galaxy Event that destroyed the aforementioned civilization in Ambrosia.

### **Voyager Galaxy**

The Voyager Galaxy is both the smallest, and farthest satellite galaxy of the Ambrosia Galaxy. Orbiting at a distance of two million, two hundred thousand light-years away from Ambrosia, and only containing around ten million stars, it is very difficult to see from within Ambrosia proper, requiring the use of telescopes to see it in any kind of detail.

It holds many traits exclusive to itself, the first most notable being that is inhabited by a group, species or entity which is powerful enough to slingshot the respective galaxy across the Local Universe, nicknamed the: "Observers" due to their nature of simply observing life. While the second is that it is an artificially barred spiral galaxy, as it would otherwise be too small to form one.

It arrived in orbit around Ambrosia in the year 2,000 CE, as many intragalactic civilizations of Ambrosia have documented its arrival within the Thavma Cluster, and it has remained in orbit around the aforementioned galaxy ever since.

## **Basic Timeline**

* **Formation Era:** (13,0000,0000,0000 to 11,000,000,0000 BCE). An era where the galaxy was forming, early civilizations start to appear but don't progress beyond mid type two. The notable exception would be the famous: *"Ones that Came Before"* that came into existence in 12,640,000,000 BCE.

* **Pre-Etymology Era:** (11,000,000,000 BCE to 3,400,000,000 BCE). An era where countless civilizations rise and fall, these range from early embryonic to late type three.

* **The Etymology Era:** (3,400,000,000 BCE to 604,000,000 BCE). An era where the late type three civilization, the Etymology, reigned over the galaxy.

* **The C.Y.R.E.X. Era:** (604,000.000 BCE to 10,265 CE). An era where the C.Y.R.E.X. destroyed the Etymology and nearly all intelligent life. After the C.Y.R.E.X retreats within the galactic core, early embryonic to late type two civilizations begin to arise.

* **The Ambrosia Alliance Era:** (10,265 CE to present) The current era of the galaxy, The Ambrosia Alliance begins to subsume intelligent species into a galactic society via the Intergalactic Gateway Network.
