Gleaming Cradle

The Gleaming Cradle is a large section of the Andromeda Galaxy, located northeast from the galactic core. Though not the most eventful part of the galaxy, the Gleaming Cradle is known to have contained the powerful Zonnen Republic, which was the sole sovereign entity in this part of space prior to its absorption into the Serphiad Union. Some time later, following the assassination of Lim Esevei, the Gleaming Sisterhood took control of this region, giving it its namesake. Further on, the Gleaming Revolution usurped the power of the Sisterhood and eventually replaced them with the Community of Free Peoples, which was the last notable civilization to occupy this region of space before its eventual disintegration.
