My question remains on what the Peridea Galaxy even is, was it the origin-point for the Celestials/Ones? A hideout? Is it actually, secretly, another Monolith, but a much bigger one, containing several planets?
Well, we do have satellite galaxies (the Rishi Maze, FireFist) from Alpha up to Grek, so I imagine it'll be a satellite galaxy, eventually.
Makes a lot of sense, but it didn't feel like a satellite galaxy (Nothing new in Star Wars) in how Peridea was talked about and presented Gesendet von meinem Nokia G22 mit Tapatalk
Bit hard to say, but it was specifically modelled after the Andromeda galaxy per the hologram map art... and implied to be of similar size overall to the main galaxy. It's also supposedly '2100 mega light parsecs' away according to background Aurebesh text on a Seatos obelisk... which could put it even further away than Andromeda is from us. If the mega light parsecs claim is accurate, it could even be 2.1 billion LY... unlikely, as that is. Spoken of prophetically too, in the Ahsoka credits artwork... are 'three who made the journey' long ago. And so might be the three Dathmiri Witch seers, or their distant antecedents.
if i remember correct she just appears in one scene where the actors are playing Plagueis , His Wife and The Narrator The Narrator introduces them plagueis says he can manipulate midclorians to bring people back and then the actor playing his wife dies and plagueis puts his hand on her stomach and says some magik words and shes back alive . basically the scene were the sith in that one visions Vol 1 short brings the girl back to life.
The furthest known satellite galaxy from the Milky way is 459 kiloparsecs away, and it is a very tiny one with a diameter of 9 parsecs. Andromeda is 765 kiloparsecs away and is the closest galaxy that cant be defined as a satellite. Even a single "mega parsec" (meaning a million) guarantees its not a satellite galaxy, especially if its big enough to have defined spirals. I would also say that not every other galaxy needs to literally revolve around the main setting, that kind of retcon work is, personally speaking, getting somewhat tired. As a sidenote the seven closest satellite galaxies (out of over 60 known ones) to the Milky Way are all less than 30 kiloparsecs away.
Most likely it is about 3 million light years away, I'll be guessing - assuming this map is to scale... But it might be artistic licence, I suppose. Also, not sure which galaxy is modelled on Andromeda or not - but I'm assuming it's the Peridea one. I believe a Reddit member spotted this?
I personally dont mind the idea of Peridea being 2.1 billion parsecs away. Super hyperlanes like the perlemian massively shortened travel time to the point of defining how the republic was shaped and the wealth of the Core comes ultimately from its nexus of super lanes among other things. Hyperlanes seem to be intrinsic to the universe in some mysterious way and the path to peridia is just an intergalactic version of that. Sure there are closer galaxies but due to this lane Peridia is the easiest to get to. Its like a cosmic sea current. In the Darkstryder Campaign there is a large 30 light year void that due to the lack of hyperlanes takes just over 14 days to cross in a brute force manner. This basically marks the barrier between the main known Kathol Sector and the "outback" which frankly should be classified as wild space. Applied to intergalactic voids many galaxies would be basically unreachable.
In the Dark Empire Sourcebook, it is said Palpatine wants to inhabit the body of the unborn Solo child so he can inhabit "real" flesh. This either means that all Spaarti clones, or just Palpatine's have some weird psuedo-skin on their bodies and not cloned human skin.
The Triangulum Galaxy is sometimes thought of as a satellite of Andromeda despite having a fully defined spiral structure and being quite some way from it (230 kiloparsecs). The Vong Galaxy being to Skyriver as Triangulum is to Andromeda, is something I think could work. Don't know that the same would work for Peridea though.
