Bima Sakti
Bima Sakti, often shortened to Sakti, is the galaxy in which humanity origins. It's home to billions of stars.
Coordination and Mapping systems
The vast tract of space, known as 'the stars', has been broken into several layers to help with navigation. Below are the different forms of compass used for navigation.
| Planet Compass | System Compass | Quadrant Compass | Galactic Grouping Compass | Galactic Cluster Compass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A compass that reads the coordinates of a collection of planets and their satellites in orbit around stars, together with smaller bodies in the form of asteroids, meteroroids, and comets. | A compass that reads the coordinates of a system of millions or billions of stars, together with gas and dust, held together by gravitational attraction.
Kaluh, Elegma, Novark, Jall |
A compass that reads the coordinates of group of galaxies, typically 50 or less. | A compass that reads the coordinates of a cluster of galaxies that can range from the hundreds to the thousands. |
Political Landscape
In the tract of the galaxy, with so many different forms of life vying for control over it's resources to further advance their society, it has been split into several political divisions.
| Frontier | Entente | Association | League | Coalition | Throng | Conglomerate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The celestial frontier, an ocean of systems which have yet to have a sapient species achieve post-system or galactic travel. | Ententes are the alliances between the factions of systems. | Associations are the political factions that tie Ententes together. It's through the Associations that the Ententes get their words to the League. They typically tend to be types of oligarchies. | One of the oldest political bodies in the galaxy, the League has at one time held dominance over nearly 80% of it, however after the League's Fracture epoch and Second Galactic War, it has been reduced to a fraction of what it had been.
The League is spans several quadrants which are broken into sectors. These sectors house the system ententes that make up the citizens of the Leauge. |
Coalitions are the various political alliances that were formed out of the Associations which separated from the League. | Throng are the wild chaotic crowd ruled anarchy bodies which inhabit the further reaches of the Elegma and Jall quadrants. Most often cosmopolitans ruled by gangs, sin runs amuck within the generally agreed borders of Throngs. | Corporate conglomerates that own entire systems. |
League
The Adrophontic League, commonly referred to as Adro amongst it's citizens, and The League by it's adversaries, is the oldest political body in the Sakti galaxy, as well as the largest, having at one time controlled nearly 85% of it's ocean. However after it's fracture some time ago, it has been reduced to a fraction of it's size. Even still, it spans two quadrants, and holds forty one associations within it's borders.
Associations
Teirna/Terina
Drominum Entente; Entente of the Draig, Drominum is considered by many to be one of the most troublesome and hostile Ententes within the league, often fighting among each other and killing most other
Guitlaro Entente; Initially called the 'human entente' and 'humanity's intent', is the first of four ententes with human origin. It spans 5 star systems, which hold a total of 16 terrestrial planets, two of which have been entirely given to the Astralics which have managed to adapt to their new reality.
Hajoka Entente; The Sluiag Entente.
Lacioadi Entente; The Malacopidae Entente.
Tritmandraurus Entente; The Godorein Entente.
Coalitions
Throng
Rodjrin
Monek; A race of diminutive mammalians who are known for being shrewd and crafty. They are often scrappers, traders, and scavengers, who comb through old technology and ruins to either recycle or barter what they find. They are resistant to various toxic substances. However, their smaller stature often leaves them weaker than others.
