Note on galactic territories: Most of the 'ownership' of space in the universe is considered in terms of entire galaxies. However, all species do allow settling of unused systems on a case by case basis. These are called representative territories. For instance, the Milky way galaxy has been set aside as human territory. But as it is currently managed by the IEC, they have allowed each species one system to set up a colony, to interact with the humans during their trial and after ascension. As of 3078 PV, seventy two galaxies have had ownership claimed over them.
Note on worlds: Worlds can come in all different sizes, to massive artificial planets to small moons. Even megastructures are built orbiting stars that are classified as such. In each galaxy there is a dedicated Hubworld that is the center of administration for the galaxy. Each Hubworld also contains a large-scale WRN network hub, which connects all the smaller hubs throughout a galaxy to the wider universe. If it is a species' primary galaxy, these are the same as their Coreworlds/Homeworlds. Coreworlds are established as the center of a species' empire when their original homeworlds are no longer in existence due to a number of reasons. Homeworlds are the point of origin for a species, their cradles so to speak. These worlds are often the most highly advanced and serve as the center for a species' government systems.
Station
Note on stations: Stations serve as outposts in a system, for when there are either no easily habitable planets or as an interim until colonization is complete. There are also many massive hyperstations that have large scale dockyard and shipbuilding functionalities. Stations are classified as such in increasing order of size, Outpost(1-50 kilometers diameter)>Station(50-100 kilometers diameter)>Kilostation(100-250 kilometers diamater)>Megastation(250-500 kilometers diameter)>Hyperstation(500-2000 kilometers diameter). Beyond hyperstations, sizes are so large that they are considered worlds. Note: sizes are given in kilometers diameter, but they do not necessarily have to be spheres, this is just a rough indication of size.
(3)Alpha Centauri IEC Megastation: A massive station used for research and management of things relating to the pre-soverign race of humanity. First built in 1072 PV, the station is a testament to the IEC's commitment to monitoring pre-soverign species. Its size is roughly 1/7th that of Luna.
Galaxy
(7)Aeternus Galaxy (Itokin Territory): Located around 10 million light years from the milky way galaxy. It is the primary territory of the Itokin species. Their original home system used to be within their galaxy. Their coreworld is also still located elsewhere in the galaxy. It is a spiral galaxy that is around 300k light years across and 5k light years at its thickest. The galaxy consists of eight hundred million logged stars. With around five million being colonized by Itokin.
(7)Gigantus Galaxy (Arkan Territory): Located around 7 million lightyears from the milky way galaxy. It is the primary territory of the Arkan Species. It also contains their homeworld, Ruka. It is a circular galaxy that is around 500k lightyears across and 7k lightyears thick. It is one of the largest colonized galaxies. The galaxy contains 1.7 billion logged stars. Seventeen million systems have been colonized by the Arkan.
(7)Zekan Galaxy (Zekan Territory): the aptly named galaxy is located around 3 million lightyears from the milky way, making it the closest to humanity. It is an elliptical galaxy, with a 'diameter' of around 150k lightyears and a thickness of 700 lightyears. The galaxy contains five hundred million logged stars. Only half a million systems have been colonized, however they have a large number of stations, numbering in the range of seven million. It also contains the Zekan homeworld, Locu Asteroid Cluster.
(7)Vekia Galaxy (Vaux Territory): located around 12 million light years from the milky way, it is the farthest major galaxy from the milky way. It is an irregular galaxy. At its widest point it is about 200k lightyears across, with an average thickness of 1200 lightyears. The galaxy contains six hundred million logged stars, making it not very dense. Around twelve million systems have been colonized by the Vaux. It also contains the Vaux homeworld, Lorentia.
(7)Shesain Galaxy (Shesah Territory): Located around six million light years from the milky way. It is a dwarf spiral galaxy. It is around 40k lightyears across and about 300 lightyears thick. It contains one hundred million logged stars. Due to its small size, it has been easy to colonize. Around twenty million systems have been colonized by the Shesah. It contains the Shesah homeworld of Sesarin.
(7) Bota Galaxy(Pota Territory): located around five million light years from the milky way. It is an elliptical galaxy. It has a diameter of around 200k light years and thickness of about 1600 light years. It contains a logged four hundred million stars. Being a fairly recently ascended species, they have only colonized half a million systems. It contains the Pota homeworld known as Fungonia.
(7)Vel Galaxy (Velz Territory): Located around four million light years from the milky way. It is a spiral galaxy. It has a diameter of around 120k lightyears and is about 1000 lightyears thick. It contains two hundred million logged stars. As the Vez is a very new species, they have only colonized twenty systems. It contains the Velz coreworld of Kilux.
Planet/System
(7)Aternius Prime (Itokin Coreworld): Located in the inner third of the Aternus Galaxy, Aternius Prime, and its system Aternius, is Itokin's current coreworld. Rather than a natural planet, it is an artificial superplanet created by combining the materials from every other planet in the system. It was first built around two billion years ago, presumably as a replacement after their home system went supernova. It has an approximate diameter of 24,000 kilometers. The estimated population as of 3078 PV is ninety two billion. The planet serves as the coreworld of Itokin's empire.
(7)Ruka (Arkan Homeworld): While technically not the birthplace of the Arkan species (due to being synthetic), they still consider it their homeworld. Located within the outer third of the Gigantus galaxy. It is located within the Binary star system. the Gig System, along with three other planets. It has an approximate diameter of 9,000 kilometers. The planet is mostly temperate, however it has very cold arctic regions. It is also known to have had high volcanic activity in the past, which has created a large amount of mountain ranges full of valuable metals. However, surrounding the planet (In a series of rings) is a gigantic world-class station. It dwarfs the planet and serves as a gigantic foundry and dockyard for building mass quantities of ships. The estimated population of the station and planet combined is 124 billion. The planet serves as the core of the Arkan empire.
(7)Locu Asteroid Cluster (Zekan Coreworld): After the destruction of their homeworld by the Itokin, the Zekan species has taken residence in a large asteroid belt in the unary star,called the Itomin system. They have since stripped the system of all other planets to use as materials. The world consists of a large network of stations and foundries, managed by the most highly advanced AIs in the universe. It serves as the core of the Zekan's empire.
(7)Lorentia (Vaux Homeworld): Located within the binary star system of Lorence, which lies in the inner quarter of the Vekia galaxy. Lorentia serves as the homeworld for the Vaux empire. It is a fairly rocky and desertlike planet, with a diameter of around 17,000 kilometers. Its atmosphere is somewhat unique, as it has over 87% nitrogen and only 7% oxygen content. There is also a world-class ring station in construction around the planet. It is expected to be completed in about two thousand years. The estimated population of the planet is 32 billion.
(7)Sesarin (Shesah Homeworld): Located within the unary star system Sesa, which lies in the outer quarter of the Shesain Galaxy. The planet is fairly large, with a diameter of 18,000 kilometers. It is most notably very flat, due to limited tectonic activity. It is primarily a series of lush plains, full of massive herds of native wildlife. While it does serve as the homeworld of the Shesah, it is fairly unpopulated. It has a population of around 5 billion. This is due to several environmental protection acts that have been put in place to preserve the biosphere for future generations. In accordance with this, there are no stations in orbit of the planet. Instead there is a smaller megastation in orbit of the star that serves as a starport.
(7) Fungonia (Pota Homeworld): Located in the unary star system Bot. Which lies in the inner third of the Bota Galaxy. It is a very earth-like planet (in size and composition) However, it has had very little recent tectonic activity. This means that the planet consists of one pretty flat supercontinent. However, this continent is full of a diverse set of environments, from highly dense jungles to vast deserts. The world has a population of around 40 billion. The planet serves as the core of the Potanian empire. The planet is largely filled with agricultural production, as is the Potan specialty. There is a small hyperstation in orbit of the planet that serves as a trade and starport.
(7) Kilux (Velz Coreworld): Located within the middle part of the Vel Galaxy, in the unary star system of Kiva. It is a highly industrialized moon of the Velz's origin planet, Milae. It is roughly three thousand kilometers in diameter. Due to poor environmental management on the Velz's origin planet, they have temporarily moved their capital functions to the moon while they initiate large-scale terraforming procedures which render their origin planet uninhabitable. The moon has a population of twelve billion. In orbit of the planet is a megastation, which has become universally famous as the Velzian Pilot's Academy. It is responsible for training the best crew and pilots in the universe.
(11)Kalvax System(Itokin Territory): located within the milkyway, about twenty thousand lightyears away from the Sol system. This system houses the Itokin-human embassy complex.
