I once looked towards this galaxy with wonder. It was small, but it would be a serene, isolated paradise for my people. Oh, how wrong I was...

Lunen Tsuki is one of Thavma's two galaxies, the larger of the two. While small, it possesses a very distinctive ringed spiral shape and a deep cerulean hue. Under the control of the Theocracy of Silverstar, the galaxy has flourished and grown into a cohesive empire, despite only possessing three native sapient species. A large majority of the population are the descendants of immigrants from the Local Universe.
The galaxy's main population center is the planet Oaliun, which hosts an extensive space station known as the Starforge. The star system is located in the Thavius Arm, a dust ring surrounding the central core and the primary star-forming region. The galaxy is home to few places one could call normal. Anomalies exist in unreasonable quantities throughout Lunen Tsuki's turbulent whirlpool of stars and gas. Everything from nebulae to stars to comets and minerals and people make up the massive catalog of anomalies that the Theocracy has created.
Although the Theocracy is an unusual form of government, it has had positive impacts on the environment in Lunen Tsuki. Political and religious unity are one and the same, which, under the impeccably stable rule of Moonmoon, creates one of the most unified nations in the known universe. This unity allows for elaborate projects to be undertaken and completed. Through the combined efforts of the Theocracy, life in the tumultuous galaxy is at least manageable for most people.
Lunen Tsuki contains just over 4.46 billion stars, none of which are older than 7.8 billion years. The interstellar medium also seems to share this age. Isolated stellar systems and a lack of supernovas also suggest that the galaxy has not been the site of any major star formation bursts in the past. All sources show a constant state of being, however that saying can apply to such a chaotic galaxy, since 7.8 billion years ago. No evidence of any matter in the galaxy exists before that. The galaxy is younger than any other galaxy in Thavma, but theories seem to suggest that it may have had a sort of "refresher event" caused by one of the anomalies at the time. Much like the process of starbirth, it is believed that a wave of chaos and creation happened to the galaxy, causing all matter to be destroyed and recreated.
"In the beginning, there was nothing. From the nothing came the Chaos. The Chaos created the Void, and the Void shaped itself unto the fabric of reality. The Void birthed the Suns, and the Suns gave life to the people."
-The Tome of Celestial Tears, chapter 6, lines 2-4
Galaxies are organic, ever-changing creatures. The birth of a new star leads to a supernova, which sends shockwaves throughout the surrounding space. Lunen Tsuki is this chaos tenfold denser than any other galaxy. The turbulent flow of stars and nebulae blends the galaxy together into a violent cosmic whirlwind faster than any large spiral. Even the voids of solitude, or what remains of them, which exist throughout the galaxy, have not been stable homes to life. The Theocracy may have made the galaxy more livable for most, but they cannot stop the chaos that is fundamental to the very nature of Lunen Tsuki.
