The Star Wars Galaxy
The galaxy, as it was commonly referred to, was one of the many galaxies in the universe. Composed of a massive collection of stars, planets, and other astronomical objects, it was originally formed by a super-massive black hole in its center. The galactic disk would eventually span over 100,000 light-years in diameter, and become home to countless sentient species and star systems. The galaxy would serve as the setting for trade, politics, and war throughout galactic history. In historical memory, the galaxy would see the successive eras of the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, New Republic, First Order, and others, and was home to the Force-using orders of the Jedi and Sith.
The galaxy was divided into several regions, with the Deep Core served as the innermost and most brightly lit region of space. It was encircled by the populous Core Worlds where the human species would begin. The regions beyond the Core were the Colonies, Inner Rim, Expansion Region, Mid Rim and Outer Rim Territories. Areas of the galactic disk could be referred to as the galactic north, south, east and west, in which the Western Reaches existed in the galactic south.
The Unknown Regions existed to the galactic west, and remained largely unexplored throughout galactic history owing to many trade routes heading outwards towards the galactic east, while Wild Space referred to regions inhabited by sentient species but never fully charted, explored, and civilized.
Due to the unimaginably large distances between systems, spacecraft utilized a propulsion system known as a hyperdrive to travel through hyperspace, an alternate dimension where a starship could take advantage of the wrinkles in the fabric of realspace to reduce journey time significantly, effectively "jumping" from point to point without having to travel directly between them.
The galaxy had at least two companion galaxies, one of which was known as the Rishi Maze. Notable points of interests were the 50 wonders of the Core, 30 wonders of the Mid Rim and the 25 wonders of the Outer Rim.
