The Milky way is one of 4 inhabited galaxies that contains inhabited planets. It contains 24 feral worlds and 2 monasteries but only one monastery is within the galaxy itself.

The fortress monastery of Née-Charain is within the stellar mass of the milky way and very close to Earth. Due to it's close location and the consequences of it's location being disvoered it's actual location is never directly yielded. However it is in fact inside a star but this is never known. Instead a dimension gate is used to enter and leave the facility.

The monastery of Née-Dralnoch occupies the inter-galactic space near to the Milky Way. The Dralnochians are extremely unemotional and hard working. They tend to be very logical and are always about optimum solutions. They manufacture the deheadoniser mindwipe drugs used to pacify the masses on Altair Deu - a bio tech strategy trditionally abhorred by the Illúme it nevertheless avoided their reploughing.

There are 24 inhabited planets in the milky way.
