Galactic scale

Set at the scale of the galaxy itself — galaxy-spanning empires, civilizations, and histories where reach across countless worlds is the story's subject. It replaces other-star-systems even when individual scenes play out on particular worlds. Deliberately narrow: a galactic civilization as backdrop is not enough — a story that merely lives inside one takes other-star-systems, with space alongside when it roams. Space itself is never stacked on top of this term.
