NGC 214

NGC 214 UAC: UGCA 281

UGCA 281 is a blue compact dwarf galaxy located in the constellation of Canes Venatici. Within it, two giant star clusters appear brilliant white and are swaddled by greenish hydrogen gas clouds. These clusters are responsible for most of the recent star formation in UGCA 281; the rest of the galaxy is comprised of older stars and appears redder in colour. The reddish objects in the background are background galaxies that appear through the diffuse dwarf galaxy.

Distance to Pluribus 7,240,000 Light Years.

Union Presence: Yes, as of 5103 OTT

In 5102 OTT a new series of gates (Gate Spur ) was discovered connecting NGC 214 to Avondur. The discovery of a " dead gate builder " made this discovery significant. The galaxy was also the test target of the first successful Space Drill test in 5112 OTT. No significant exploration has been conducted so far. No sentient life has been discovered so far. No other Ancient gate has been found so far. However it appears that an unknown party has slain the gate builder and prevented it from building more. Why this unknown party has not destroyed the entrance gate is not known, but an important question the TSGA was tasked to answer. A heavily armed Gatehouse has been established in 5107 OTT and is in the process of being reinforced. A Station Support System has been surveyed six light years distant to the gate (SSS 214 Support ). System construction has begun in 5108 OTT.
