Liimaara

The Liimaara galaxy, also known as the Dusty Streak and LDFC 31B0, is a wide spiral barred field galaxy situated in the deeper space of the Virgo constellation. It measures about 44500 parsecs across in diameter. A composite of billions of stars and hundredfold of stellar bodies like planets, and possibly millions of planets habitable by human standards. Orbiting a supermassive black hole, the stars and visible matter form Liimaara. A home to countless sentient matter and factions.

History
Liimaara is predicted to be several billion years old, theories that date and estimate the formation of the galaxy are numerous. There are yet to be one accepted theory of how Liimaara was formed, but there is a popular theory. Liimaara used to be a vast composition of warm gas and matter that had attracted itself into a single cosmic blob of hot matter, a process lasting a long untold time since the creation of the universe. A singularity eventually formed and siphoned the surroundings of matter to itself, this attraction led to the creation of composition containing the dust, the stars, and the planets that make up Liimaara.

Besides, it is theorized that the energy beings were the very first form of life when Liimaara was only a nebula of greater cosmic scale, they were feeding on the warmth of the hot matter. As Liimaara aged, matter dispersed into separate clusters of denser matter, the matter grew sparse and became too cold to live on. What remained of the dying energy beings retreated to the denser matters and became confined to the sources of rich energy like stars and nebulae of hot gas. Same beings would become an occurring pest known to the future life of Liimaara.

When Liimaara formed, systems with bodies of rock and gas formed into planets and gas giants. A small fraction of them became hosts to life. Evolving into more complex and advanced by evolution as time progresses by millions to billions of years. From the pool of evolved life, some had managed to pass the first great filter and achieve higher intelligence. Developing complex civilizations that later ascended into space with help of technological advancements. This would mark the beginning of the early era, the time of the first civilizations to rise from nothing, to the pursuit of everything in the galaxy.

Core


The Core is the only space region that does not have a common name, although names have given for the region by a magnitude of civilizations, and all could be translated to "Core". As the name implies, the Core is the very core of Liimaara galaxy and is characterized by high density of stars, and the super massive black hole; LDFC 31B0 S*. While there are lot more stars and absence of star clusters in the region, there are lot less planets that could support life, and even less planets overall. Making the Core space rather less ideal for colonizing and habitation.

Unlike all other interstellar space regions of Liimaara, Core has no division, it has only one single subregion, the Core itself. Contrast the other regions which are described by each corresponding one of the four arms, and then divided into three subregions by the three circumferences; Inner, Middle, and Outer.

Spiral Arms
In appearance, Liimaara has two arms, the arms are constructed with chaotic continuity, breaking up the arm into blobs with higher densities of stars and stellar objects than the space filling in the separation between every region. While rather disorganized and irregular, the blobs follow rather uniform paths that line them up and form arm-like structures, forming the arms. Currently, there are two distinct arms that have names; Moebhakk and Phul'kar.

As another part of the division that organizes the contents of Liimaara, the circumference also divide the arms. Prefixing the name of the arm with the rim's, such as Central Moebhakk, which narrows down to the area where the Moebhakk Arm and the Middle Rim intersect.

Intergalactic
Alternatively addressed as foreign regions or deep space, there are stellar bodies that exist outside the outer circumference, in the intergalactic space outside Liimaara's internal space, often scarce and set far apart.

Liimaara is a part of a larger supercluster and is accompanied by smaller satellite galaxies and other deep-space objects. Specially Nyx, a small open cluster hidden a fair distance underneath Liimaara's disk.
