Far, Far Away
The galaxy was one of the billions of galaxies that existed in the universe. Composed of some four hundred billion stars in a disk 120,000 light-years in diameter, the galaxy was orbited by seven smaller satellite galaxies, of which five were directly accessible by the time of the Galactic Empire. The galaxy was home to between five and twenty million sentient species, and over one hundred quadrillion sentient beings lived in one billion star systems, interacting with each other through travel, diplomacy, trade, politics, and war. In historical memory, this galaxy had been ruled by the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire, the New Republic, and the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, the Fel Empire, Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire and was home to the Force-using orders of the Jedi and the Sith.
