The '''Stellar Galleries''' are situated in the [[High Council Pavilions]] of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. They are housed in a massive, faceted, [[Humanization|breath]]taking dome with multiple other facilities, among which are the [[Oracle Tank]] and a map room containing a giant statue of Cybertron with small planets around it. All together, it serves as a center of contemplation and planning for Iacon's greatest thinkers.<ref>''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]''</ref> Naturally, security is tight to allow the visitors the needed peace of mind, and includes such elements as an elaborate laser system and the usage of [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]].

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] went to visit the Stellar Galleries in the time between receiving the news he was elected as the new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] being inaugurated to Primeship. Faced with images of the enemy, Optronix admitted he saw no point in going to war. In his opinion, Cybertron was just a world, one like many others, and if the [[Decepticon]]s wanted it so badly, he believed it to be better for all if the Autobots simply left and found themselves a new home. Yet, he knew the rest wouldn't be so easily convinced and sought for guidance in the matter. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}}

The Stella Galleries{{sic}} exist in a region bordered by the area where the [[Chamber of the Ancients]] is located, [[Nova Cronum]], the [[Praetorus Wharf]] and [[Tarn]]. The [[Tagan Heights|Tagon Heights]] can be found some space aside from the Stella Galleries. {{storylink|Risk}}

The [[Omega Key]] was kept in a container in the Stellar Galleries, so when [[Megatron (Prime)| Megatron]] needed it to access the core of Cybertron, he ordered an assault on [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. Though he had [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] lead a distraction assault elsewhere, the [[Autobot]]s weren't foolish enough to leave the Stellar Galleries unprotected and fought to keep him and his soldiers at bay. They failed, as did the security of the Stellar Galleries. By infusing the doors and control panels with [[Dark Energon]], the Decepticons reached the room holding the Omega Key with ease.

It was too early to declare victory though. The container turned out to be empty, and a hologram of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]] appeared to the Decepticons to tell them the Omega Key was with him now and that they got one more chance to withdraw. Megatron mocked him, declaring he'd get the Omega Key from his corpse then, and was promptly attacked by an Autobot unit. Once those opponents were defeated, Megatron ordered [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] to trace Zeta Prime's broadcast signal, which revealed they could find him at the [[Vaults|Iacon Vaults]]. 

Later, the orbital gun Cybertronian known as [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] began targeting the [[Hall of Ancients]], Zeta Prime's Vaults, the Stellar Galleries and the [[Code Archives]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

==Notes==
*The Stellar Galleries were first non-[[Canon|canonically]] mentioned in the short story "[[Alignment]]". Little was revealed about the location, but it seems to have been in use as a political residence as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] had his office in its high chamber. The Stellar Galleries were [[Canonizing|made official]] in adapted form a few years later in the pages of [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s comics.
