NGC 7083 - "Ambrosia Galaxy"

This is the very earliest version of the Ambrosia Galaxy, set in the Borealis Universe. The current version of Ambrosia set in the Scope of Imagindarium's Creation can be found here: And if you're looking for the Local Universe version, you can find it here:

The NGC 7083 Galaxy (known predominantly as the "Ambrosia Galaxy") is an unbarred, flocculent spiral galaxy located in the constellation Indus, 134 million light-years away from the Milky Way. Initially discovered by Scottish astronomer "James Dunlop," in the year 1,826 CE. The Ambrosia Galaxy as it would come to be known as later in history has been the subject of innumerable celestial oddities throughout the tens of thousands of years humanity has existed as a spaceborne power.

Thanks to its wealth of oddities, it has been one of the most predominant galaxies for further scientific observation across the Borealis Cluster, though nothing definitive has been managed to be found by any member species of the Confederacy of Borealis.

Brief History and Nature

Prior to the space age of humanity, the galaxy appeared to be rather mundane. Three supernovae had been observed to occur within the galaxy in 1,983 CE, 2,009 CE, and 2,019 CE respectively, but beyond that, little seemed to be of note about the galaxy. But, as intergalactic mapping became more and more advanced, the galaxy seemingly began to hue shift, from its original, almost golden appearance to slowly becoming more and more of what could be described as "Amaranth." In addition, the galaxy has seemingly vanished and reappeared in celestial maps several times since its initial discovery. Its apparent size and magnitude has changed several times during its observation, growing and shrinking in diameters well above and below what a spiral galaxy is feasibly able to take.

As well, an endless array of cosmic phenomena s has barraged from the galaxy, spreading in directions in excess of thirteen billion light-years in a massive cone cutting through the very boundaries of the Observable Universe, making it a strange sort of intergalactic lighthouse that theoretically all sapient life in the known universe could be able to detect. This "phenomena" in question is ill-understood; seemingly, it operates in a similar fashion to radio-waves, however, its pattern of radiation is unlike any known force discovered in accumulative intergalactic history. As such, these energy patterns have been given the unofficial designation of "Amaranth," after the predominant color the galaxy displays itself as. Amaranth signals emitted from the galaxy have been found to contain patterns suggesting some form of structured data, though no known civilization has successfully deciphered their meaning, and exist in a state seemingly alien to the known Observable Universe, yet made detectible by technologies designed to observe the more mundane forces of the cosmos.

There is seemingly no answer for these strange occurrences, and as to why they only occur in a single spot in an ultimately unremarkable corner of intergalactic space. These suggests something beyond the scope of current scientific understanding seems to be in a constant occurrence in this galaxy, though as we are unable to view this galaxy beyond the lenses of a hundred and thirty-four million standard years, it is currently unknown as to what is happening there at the present.
