Point Z

Point Z

Right after the Union was founded, new Science Council was tasked with the complete survey of the M-0 galaxy .This enormous project, expected to be complete in 12- 14,000 years, seeks to survey every star and feature go the M-0 galaxy. The very first survey was to establish a true image of the galaxy. At this point no known active society / species had yet left the galaxy far enough to produce an image of the entire star island (and return with that image)

The Science Council decided the first expedition / survey mission should be gaining a picture of the whole and a special designed ship (the USS Magnitude ) was to fly along the Z axis (vertical to the galaxy plane) to reach Point Z, a mathematical determined spot in Transgalactic space from where the Galaxy could be seen as whole.

Point Z was beyond the range of any known space ship at that time ( 1,000,000 LY) So a multi stage ship was developed much like the old Chemical rockets of Earth with.

The expedition left the Sol System on 4.5.2249 and reached Z Point on the 12th of December in 2309 and sending the first complete image of the Galaxy back. They established an automated observatory[1] at Point Z and returned.
