Rhosya Galaxy

<-- Back to Other Galaxies

The Rhosya galaxy (known to humans as the Small Magellanic Cloud) is a small irregular galaxy, roughly 280 yc distant, which is gravitationally bound to Orranysi. Rhosya, named by the Aehr for its pink cloudy appearance, was the second deep space galaxy to be explored by inhabitants of Orranysi, and subsequently the second deep space galaxy to make contact with the GDF.

Rhosya has its own galactic government and is acknowledged by the GDF as a sovereign entity. The Interstellar Confederation is a loose collective of several sophont species in the Rhosya galaxy, each with a considerable colonial territory. Its capital is the planet Shyyx, and its comprehensive span is effectively the entire Rhosya galaxy as well as the deep space immediately surrounding the galaxy within a radius of approximately one fathom (15 yc).
