This was essentially a battle to determine the "master race." Humans managed to win when exactly one individual survived. This was a total accident however, had another species not consumed some poisonous berries out of desperation, it would have most certainly been them. Regardless, humanity was deemed to be "the master race" by the Triumvurate (this contest was almost entirely based on luck, but that did not seem to matter to the Triumvirate). |

Template:Galaxy InfoboxMessier 74 or the Phantom Galaxy (not to be confused with the irregular galaxy bearing the same name, here) is an average Sc type galaxy of 25 Billion stars. It is 32 Million light years from the Milky Way.
This galaxy is the capital of the Saka-Lowuks Entente, a small nation boarding both the CoB and CUEN.
General
Messier 74 has a population of about 1 Sextillion, making it fairly sparely populated for a galaxy of it's size. Regardless of this small population, the galaxy has played an important role in the history of the region.
Notable organizations like BAIRC and Lactdromeda Corporation call this galaxy home.
History
The galaxy formed around the same time as the Milky Way, about 12.3 Billion years ago. It has had about three kardeshev III civilizations rise and fall before the Lowuks Entente achieved type III status in 12,000 CE.
The Syndicate of Stellar Entities
The first civilization to form in the galaxy was likely called the Syndicate of Stellar Entities. While mythology and legend clouds most of its history, general information about the nation is known. This nation is estimated to have formed somewhere between 350,000 to 250,000 years ago, making it older than humanity itself. The nation was likely a democratic confederation. It was populated by an unknown number of unknown species. No fossils have been discovered of them to this day.
The nation, called The Prime Civilization by natives, was most likely an early Type III civilization by the time it fell by around 175,000. Ruins in almost every galaxy in the Local Group suggest that most have been at least visited by the nation. The name itself is a rough translation based on the language found on the ruins.
Why the nation fell is almost entirely unknown. The most popular theory, however, is that the civilization fell to some sort of mass suicide by the members of the civilization. Small references to the "End of Years" was found inscribed on most of the ruins. Most of the ruins and an anomalously large number of the planets are covered in a thin layer of fused sediments and the byproducts of radio-active decay, implying a self-destruction using nuclear weapons.
The Triumvirate
The next nation, simply called The Triumvirate, formed in 156,000 BCE. This nation was almost entirely automated. It wasn't so much of a nation as a hoard of machines controlled by three Legionnaires.
The nation fell into a civil was over a dispute over what to do with all the primitive species in the area around them (which included the Local Group). One wanted to exterminate it because it could be a threat, the other wanted to put shells around each of their planets in order to protect them but also keep them contained, and the final one wanted to do nothing.
Messier 74 fell into this war that lasted for ten millennia before Black Hole Bombs were detonated all over the galaxy, nearly sterilizing it. The Legionnaires almost went extinct after this. In the end, one drone made it back from the Milky Way after a reconnaissance mission. It was instructed to find a planet that had life that could coexist with the Legionnaires. It found humans and they were as close to the legionnaires as one could find, so it brought them to the planet Vincule. The Drone terraformed the planet and then deactivated, it's missions complete.
The Hand of God
The Hand of God was another civilization within the galaxy. This one didn't fall until 5000 CE, but it was a late Type II civilization at it's height. The civilization was comprised of beings called the Serafim.
The Entente came to control the majority of the galaxy's resources, but what really made the galaxy important was its unwavering neutrality.
During the Orion War, The Fornax War, and even The War of Decamillennial Transition, the Entente remained largely untouched, allowing many refugees to flee to their galaxy. The Entente's relocation programs encouraged quadrillions to move to the galaxy. Many businesses even had their headquarters in the galaxy due to the tax incentives. Even so, very few ever decided to relocate, as the cost of relocation was simply too great for most.
The galaxy is a tax haven, meaning that many of the top one thousandth of a percent reside there.
It wasn't until the War of the Ancients that the galaxy was hit hard. For the first time in history, the amount of refugees was too great for the Entente to handle. Many of the quadrillions of prisoners of war that the Confederacy ended up taking were simply dumped here without the Entente's consent. This required them to shut their doors and enforce their neutrality.
The galaxy had a large boom in population because of this, however.
Messier 74, it's surrounding galaxies, some galaxies administrated by the Sakagami House (that was also struggling to survive at this point), and another smaller civilization formed The Greater Sakagami-Lowuks Entente.
