The Xenari Galaxy
SBa18-t3 was originally discovered in 2013, at 32.6 billion light years away from the Milky Way galaxy. With the development of hyperspeed capable spaceships, NASA was able to travel to this galaxy and explore it. As of now, 14 systems in what was officially dubbed the Xenari (zen-ar-ee) galaxy have been officially documented, with a total of 14.4 billion planets and 3.4 million different species. However, only 4 of these systems were deemed suitable for humans. So far, none of the systems have been fully explored, but one system, known as the Thanolian System, has been documented as occupied by humans.
The Thanolian System
It's the most explored system as it was deemed the most similar to the Milky Way, and as such was the decided place to settle. It has a total of 240 planets, only 36 of which have been considered suitable for Milky Way humans. This is due to the oxygen levels of the planet, some of which are higher or lower than what Earth's was. Unlike the Milky Way, there is no center sun for this system, rather, some planets have their own sun or two, while others have none. Generally, the planets are categorized as habitable and uninhabitable, with the Outer Rim planets having the most uninhabitable planets in the system.
Time also works differently in this system. In the name of unity, the Galactic Senate proposed a system for everyone to share. Hours, minutes and seconds are obsolete in this system. Instead, they simply use the seasons or rising and setting or the suns and moons to tell time. Distance is measured in parsecs and is a universal system, having no real life equivalent. There are 434 days in one year and there are no leap years. All months are referred to as Mensi, with 14 Mensis and 31 days in each Mensi. The Galactic Senate also deemed the unifying Battle of Nalinia as Year 0. As such, every year since has been prefaced with ABN.
There are 4 recognized seasons, Aestas (Summer), Yule (Winter), Autumn (Fall), and Ver (Spring). Each season lasts 3-4 months depending on the planet, with some planets staying in one or two seasons based on their location and how many suns they have. Desert and Tropical planets typically stay in Aestas while Ice and Snow planets stay in Yule.

Inner Sector
The Inner Sector planets are the busiest and most habitable planets in the Thanolian System. All five planets that humans call home are in this sector, only two of which are inhabited by mostly humans. The rest have learned to intermingle with other species and live together on the other planets. Over 100 of the system's planets make up this sector. The most important planets to note are as follows:
⟣ Canturi: The capital planet of the system and political center. It is one large city, and the most populated planet with the permanent residents all being human. The only exception being those in politics representing the other species.
⟣ Bravidis: Dubbed Earth-2 and the second most populated planet, humans make up about 75% of the population. Similar to Canturi, it has been largely urbanized and is one large city. It also houses the leading company in the android market, NOVA CORP.
⟣ Andarth: The 3rd most populated planet, with humans taking up only 25% of the population. It's the most technologically advanced planet, and as such is the leading planet in science and medicine. It also houses APOLLO LABORATORY.
⟣ Ilars: An ocean planet dotted with volcanic islands. There are few residents, and they rely mostly on marine life and trading once a month for resources. It has two moons, and as such has very strong low and high tides.
⟣ Tajukine: A desert planet that relies heavily on trading as much as possible for resources. It's also luckily a trading hub, with multiple transport stations. It is also a slave hub, where many species, mostly human, are sold and bought and made to work long hours in the two suns that rise and set on the planet.
Outer Sector
The Outer Sector planets are mostly uninhabitable to humans, with only a few having enough oxygen levels to be deemed safe. Most of these planets have been used for illegal activity or are banishment sites for criminals or those in exile. It is also the home of planets where minerals, fuel, and other materials and resources can be found in abundance. As such, there are many mines on these planets and very few people call them home. Less than 50 planets make up this sector, with planet debris and asteroids scattered throughout, making traveling dangerous. The most important planets to note are as follows:
⟣ Chromia: An ice planet closest to the Inner Sector, mostly uninhabitable but home to several military bases and fuel resources.
⟣ Zerolia: A mineral-rich, rocky planet full of mines, as it is home to Nilonionite, which powers portal guns and weapons.
⟣ Arcuria: A rugged planet with vast mountains and canyons. Home to Kybers, which are crystals that power lightsabers by connecting with the user's Kavana, giving the lightsabers their different colors.
⟣ Telos: An exile planet filled with rainforests and swamps on the furthest section of the Outer Sector.
⟣ Caris: A banishment site surrounded by many asteroids.
Additional important details
⟣ While each planet has its own currency, the common currency in the galaxy is known as Galactic Credits. It's used most in the Inner Sector planets. However, almost everyone employs a bartering system, negotiating prices before purchasing, or simply trading various things like minerals, crystals, food and other things deemed as valuable.
⟣ In order for Earthborn humans to withstand the changes in space and the galaxy, all were put into cyrosleep, with machines attached to their chambers that gradually adjusted their vitals accordingly. Once they landed, they typically spent a year adjusting before being released into society.
⟣ There is an underground fighting ring known as The Scrapyard. All fights are for money and are illegal. Only a select few know the real people in charge of The Scrapyard, as they wear masks obstructing their faces from view. They also never stay in one planet for too long, bouncing around in order to not get caught.
⟣ Each species has their own language, however, humans both Earthborn and native speak a similar common tongue (essentially English). Comlinks may also be used to translate different languages.
