AGN

AGN stands for Ancient Gate Network

The existence of trans spatial gates has always been known. From the legends and stories of space travelling civilizations to the broken gate of Algorm.

When the Golden joined the Union in 5021 OTT, a network of trans spatial gates was revealed, allowing the Golden to trade and interact with galaxies far beyond the reach of any known technology.

During a mission of the USS Tigershark , Lt. Krabbel"accidently" used controls inside the Temple of the Seterif and activated a much bigger net of Ancient Gates, several in the M-0 galaxy and within Union Space .

Captain Olafson and the Tigershark borrowed an artefact sacred to the Farnok, a Gate Locator .

In 5031 Xeno Tech Labs successfully retro engineered the Gate Locator and it was incorporated into the Sensor suite of all Union Explorers .

Simultaneous  Leedei and Wurgus engineers developed another Gate locator device and used it at Z-Point station . Revealing a  series of gates.

The Assembly called the existence of these Gates a very serious potential of danger to the Union and also a tremendous opportunity to explore further than ever possible before.

Erica Olafson and the Tigershark crew discovered Avondur during their 3rd mission and with it the Tomradi, the planet at the center of the Universe, the Legend of the Shards , the Key to the Inheritance and the fact that several super civilizations were figthting and scheming to get control overthe Inheritance first.

After the discovery and activation of theAncient Gate Network , the Assembly of the Union decided to map the Gate Network "as far as it goes"   take ownership of the gates by placing an armed space station in its vicinity. (see Slam Door protocol)

As of 5050 over 200 gates have been discovered, some as as far as the Azure Eye Galaxy and the Tomrad Galaxy .
