Alien Gate - Barnard

Alien Gate - Barnard

In 5020 the Barnard Expedition reached NGC 6822 and established an Union Outpost called Barnard Base at a planet in the first solar system they surveyed. So far no sentient life has been encountered, but the artifacts and ruins of an advanced civilisation[1] (estimated TL 9 ) was found on several planets. An ancient gate (active) was also discovered (TL 11 ) that does not conform to the other gates that belong to the Local group gate network. The gate is clearly of another culture and substantially smaller

The USS Berotogus, a Union cruiser with an all volunteer crew passed through the gate and has not returned as of yet.
