Lumoriae Galaxy

The Lumoriae Galaxy is one of the nine primary galaxies in the Lumen Universe. A barred spiral galaxy spanning approximately 120,000 light-years, it serves as a major hub of interstellar civilization and hosts numerous advanced species including the Ethereans and significant Lumen populations. The galaxy is divided into six distinct sectors, each playing crucial roles in galactic politics, culture, and development.
