Grinfulo Galaxy

Template:Galaxy InfoboxThe Grinfulo Galaxy is a small elliptical galaxy home to 107.7 Quadrillion individuals, mostly Vlanoans, under the control of the Kal Federation. This Federation is, in turn, a semi-autonomous region under the control of The Administrator. The galaxy is mostly empty, with only 45% of it's star systems having permanent residents in them.

The closest galaxy to it is the Tloinin Galaxy. It is 725 Mega-light-years from the Milky Way. A galaxy of its size typically has one to two native sapient species within it, however, this galaxy is abnormally sterile. This is likely because of a surge in Novae the galaxy experienced from 1 billion to 500 million CE where the number of supernovae increased from once per millennia to once per two hundred years.

The galaxy is located in the Shapley Supercluster, a galactic cluster outside of the Laniakea Supercluster.

History

The galaxy is named for the Vlanoan God of clouds "Grinfulo," because when it was first discovered, the fledgling Vlanoan civilization believed it to be some cloud of stars rather than a galaxy like the Tloinan galaxy. When they determined that it was in fact a galaxy and not a random cloud of stars, the name remained.

In 104000 CE, several billion Vlanoans, from the Tloinin Galaxy migrated to this galaxy seeking independence and self-rule. They first settled the planet Aira. The galaxy had no civilizations or threats, which allowed them to take their time in expansion. They had no enemies and no pressure to expand, so they expanded at their own pace. It took them until 150300 to fully explore the galaxy, and to this day they have not settled the whole thing.

Grinfulo has rarely been involved in intergalactic wars. The most damaging war was the Tloinin War. Even later wars such as The War of the Ancients saw little damage in the galaxy itself, most of which was diverted to its much more important neighbor, Tloinin.
