The Shapley Supercluster is a galactic region occupied by both The Administrator , The Vlanoan Intergalactic Republic, and hundreds of smaller nations. This cluster has a volume of over 8 thousand galaxies, making it around half of the size as the Laniakea Supercluster.
It is the largest known collection of galaxies which are fully gravitationally bound to each other, meaning that in several hundred billion years, the galaxies will all coalesce into a galaxy larger than any ever observed. It also boasts the largest collection of matter within the local universe
While The Administrator and the VIR are based mostly within this cluster, they have since expanded outwards, resulting in large swaths of it still being untouched by the two superpowers.
