I mean I know it is being translated as being a galaxy (銀河), but the way it is described I think it might be a galactic cluster (銀河団). Especially as it was described in Volume 4. The fact that the Banfield fleet (majority) seems to be around the Banfield capital, but not near any pioneer colonies. Pioneer colonies get defensive detachments separate from the main fleet. This makes me think 'multiple systems'. Contrary there are references to nearby neighbors, which makes me think not a galaxy. As the distance between galaxies is too grand to use the term nearby...
By the way to breakdown [銀河団]. [銀河団] can translate to 'Galactic Cluster' or 'Group of Galaxies'. I don't have the original source material, so I cannot check if this is how it was originally written. However, if you look at V1C1 it is translated into English as "dominates one galaxy" so it makes me wonder if it could have been translated as 'dominates one galactic cluster'; since 'dominates one group of galaxies' does not make much sense.
I noticed that some people thought Liam might have owned just a solar system (太陽系), but I think that the way some other noble house territories were described in Volume 3 (description of the Claudia Houses territory and Exner house territory) makes more sense, for being a singular solar system.
