A galaxy is a dense cluster of millions of stars, planets, nebulae and various other matter which is held in place by a massive gravitational attraction (such as a super massive blackhole). They are an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an unknown type of dark matter. Typical galaxies contained ten million to one trillion stars, all orbiting a common center of gravity. Galaxies could also contain a large number of star systems and star clusters as well as black holes and various types of nebulae.
Galaxies can take on many shapes and sizes, our own galaxy the Milky Way is a Spiral Galaxy so is naturally divided into a number of spiral arms, never the less it is a common practice as means of general galactic charting by many races to divided the Milky Way into four equal Quadrants.
In addition to the main body of a galaxy, many galaxies also have a number of smaller satellite galaxies and globular star clusters which seemingly orbit the main galactic body.
The Intergalactic Void was the space between the galaxies.
