Notes

  • Unlike the Kree and Skrull Galaxies, which are identified as the Large Magellanic Cloud and Andromeda Galaxy, respectively, the Shi'ar Galaxy has yet to be associated with a real-life galaxy. Annihilation: Prologue stated the Shi'ar Empire to be located in M31; however as M31 is another designation for the Andromeda Galaxy, this is unlikely. A similarly-named galaxy such as M33 - the Triangulum Galaxy - may have been intended, but so far the error is yet to be corrected.

  10. Ch'od's entry in X-Men: Phoenix Force Handbook claims that the Varanus system is in "M-31/Andromeda galaxy". M-31 is another name for the Shi'ar Galaxy, which is different to the Andromeda Galaxy. This is either an inconsistency yet to be corrected, or the Varanus system is somehow in both galaxies.
