Ember, additionally referred to as as “NeVe 1” by humanity, is an ancient supergiant elliptical galaxy (E3) situated in the Ophiuchus Supercluster. It is around 400 million light years distant from the Milky Way and is thought to be host to hundreds of billions of stars. Almost all of Ember’s stars are old with new ones only rarely forming. As a result, local civilizations have discovered fewer massive main sequence stars; and hence less new stars.
One could argue that Ember is a dwindling flame, hence its name; however, this is not entirely true because it has the current best conditions for life to flourish among the many K-type main sequence stars, as well as cooler temperatures overall with less volatile radiation – offering a wider optimistic habitable zone and thus a higher probability for life to emerge and persist.
Although Ember experienced the second greatest known explosion since the Big Bang from its own supermassive black hole a long time ago, it is presently regarded as a rather quiet region of space. Because of its longevity and stability, Ember is brimming with life if you know where to look. This galaxy is so enormous that civilizations could only dream of scanning all of its celestial bodies.
While most stars have been charted by modern spacefaring civilizations, only a small percentage have been surveyed, let alone colonized.
