The size of the Milky Way is something that many people cannot truly grasp.
Just one Solar System has given birth to Earth and several planets, and within the Milky Way, there are approximately 200 billion to 400 billion similar Stellar Systems. This is an absolutely terrifying number. Even if one Stellar System in a hundred million is chosen to have a planet suitable for living, there would still be over 2,000 habitable planets.
Currently, all the habitable planets in the Rose Federation combined do not even reach 2,000. The vast majority of Stellar Systems are uninhabited zones where high-energy pulses and harsh temperatures deny the birth and growth of life.
A large number of these Stellar Systems only have a few uncrewed observation stations monitoring the local conditions, while the Patrol Fleets maintain the security of the main routes and the star domains with inhabitants.
