galactic
Pertaining to starfields
Galactic means relating to a galaxy—a vast system of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity.
Most often it refers to our own Milky Way: the galactic center, galactic coordinates.
Figuratively, galactic suggests enormous scale: galactic ambitions, a galactic waste of money.
The adjective appears frequently in science fiction: galactic empire, intergalactic travel.
