Rhosya Galaxy

The Rhosya galaxy is a small irregular galaxy, roughly 280 yc distant, which is gravitationally bound to Orranysis. Rhosya, named by the Aehr for its pink cloudy appearance, was the second deep space galaxy to be explored by inhabitants of Orranysis, and subsequently the second deep space galaxy to make contact with the Galactic Democratic Federation.

Rhosya has its own galactic government and is acknowledged by the Federation as a sovereign entity. The Interstellar Confederation is a loose collective of several sophont species in the Rhosya galaxy, each with a considerable colonial territory. Its capital is the planet Shyyx, and its comprehensive span is effectively the entire Rhosya galaxy as well as the deep space immediately surrounding the galaxy within a radius of approximately one fathom (15 yc).
