Distant Shore Station

Distant Shore Station

This Gigamon Space Station at the other side of the Andromeda Galaxy was, until 5020 the most distant permanent Union Fleet Outpost. (2,302,443 Light Years from Blue Moon)

After the Bridge was completed and the United Stars had a foothold in the Andromeda Galaxy, a fleet of HALD-Explorers went into all directions on long distance missions to search for the origin of the Y'All. So far no evidence was found, but Andromeda is a very big Galaxy and even the continuous operation of the 30,000 HALD Explorers will take thousands of years to survey the entire Andromeda Galaxy. New Civilizations have been found and some became Allies and friends and others became enemies. Then the Blue and the Petharians joined the Union as Full Union Members becoming the first Union Members not home in the Milky Way Galaxy (And the reason the name was changed from United Stars of the Galaxy to the United Stars of the Galaxies

When the ThreeOz joined they knew of the Y'All and pointed to a location all across the Andromeda Galaxy, where Knowledge Traders could be found (knowing the Origin of the Y'All) When a HALD Explorer found a Y'All ship wreck in that same area, the decision to build Distant Shore was made. It was to provide search expeditions in that region a Base of Operations and to have a first line of defense or a staging area for attack if the Y'All would be found in that region. To connect Distant Shores with the rest of the Union a Space Train connection was also built from Bridgehead System to Distant Shore. It turned out that the Knowledge Traders were the Golden who maintain a Golden Bazaar less than 25 light years from Distant Shore. The Golden also maintain and use an Ancient Jump Gate nearby as well. (After the Golden joined the Ancient Gate was called “Door to Andromeda” and provided a convenient alternative to the Space Train Route. Four Star Systems in the vicinity contain Garden Worlds and received Union Colonists (These four Star Systems rely on Distant Shore for protection and Union Access and are called the Distant Shore Family)
