Asamun/Binasa

Asamun/Binasa is a large elliptical galaxy which distantly orbits Aylothn. It plays host to 3 native civilizations and has about 5,000 star systems belonging to Sedrua. Sedrua's loose ownership over Asamun/Binasa is its last vestige of early expansion, acting as a culturally important sector to its people. While comparatively small and useless, Sedrua has fiercely kept its influence in Asamun/Binasa.

Astrography

Formerly being two galaxies, Asamun/Binasa merged to become one entity. As such, it has two supermassive black holes near its fringes. This has resulted in the creation of high-density regions around the black holes. The 'middle' of the galaxy, or the space between these black holes, is thinly populated by star systems and is very metal-poor. Since the galaxy is still merging, it has undergone an increase in historic stellar activity.

Native Species

Minalig

The Minaligs were created on Auhal, a superterra world. They mastered Thaumaturgy long before they left their solar system since there were a series of many progenitors though their history. Approximately half of all Minaligs are considered to be Magi, holding basic thaumaturgic abilities. Their technology is also based around Thaumaturgy, as they rely on it to go between other star systems. The Minalig is governed by an oligarchy named "The Council". They control approximately 50,000 star systems. There also in a period of expansion of around 2 star system in a year

Luatalg

The Luatalgs are a peaceful, isolationist species that controls the planet Alaiuh. Their technological level mimics that of an early space age civilization, as they have begun to explore their own star system. Since the Luatalgs were raised in a very isolationist/pacifistic way, they have closed off any potential relations with other species.

Aeliaok

While the other species rose on terra worlds, the Aeliaoks are different. Instead, they inhabit frigid worlds with seas of methane or ethane. They don't use fire, though they use a reduction reaction with the same function as fire. Their society matches of of a stone age civilization, since they have not unlocked the ability to build coherent societies or harvest metal.

History

Asamun/Binasa is around 4 billion years old, making it a very young elliptical galaxy. Before merging together, it is thought that Asamun/Binasa were a pair of small starburst galaxies. However, due of there small size and in turn, relatively low gas content, they became depleted early in there life, shifting its color to a dull orange and becoming elliptical galaxies. Approximately 300 million years ago, intense tidal foces and collision resulted in both galaxies turning into a singular object. What rests today is a relatively inactive and sterile realm of disorder.
