Shadow Galactica was the name of Galaxia's empire. The reason for its name might stem from a comment Usagi names. "Shadow Galactica? The Shadow of the galaxy." Makes sense.

Galaxia wished to rule the galaxy, but still was its "Shadow" bringing death to all the planets she traveled to. The shadow part could also relate back to the force who was really behind Galaxia, Chaos, a force lurking in the background, unseen, much like a shadow. The empire's main base was located in Zero Star of Sagittarius in the center of the galaxy and was composed of Galaxia, Chaos, and Galaxia's soldiers -Iron Mouse, Lead Crow, Heavy Metal Papillon, Aluminum Seiren, Tin Nyanko, Phi, Chi, Lethe, and Mnemosyne. It stretched through the galaxy as far as the area Galaxia controlled.

Shadow Galactica was never mentioned in the anime, except for in Galaxia's image song, which was written by Naoko, that might be why it was even included. One of the BGM songs was also called Shadow Galactica. Either case, Galaxia's realm in the anime is never called by the name.

Shadow Galactica is actually mentioned in a few of the Sera Myu.
