Pinwheel Gate

Pinwheel Gate

Trans Spatial Gate, 8,000 meter diameter Alien tech artifact of an unknown civilization. The gate is located in the Small Magellan Cloud and is permanently active.

It connects the SMC with the Pinwheel galaxy.

It is not known why someone wanted a permanent traffic connection between a large and quite distant galaxy (Not member of the local group)

All native species found so far are primitive civlizations (The other reason why the Assembly has decided to make contact with Prim Societies is to find that reason and perhaps the remnants of an ancient civilization or forgotten Colony of it)

No other gate of this kind has been discovered so far. The Ancient Gate Network or any of the other gates (active or not) do not appear to be built by the same civilization that built and placed this gate.

The Union is currently constructing a Gate House station near the Pinwheel Gate. It is going to be a tremendous construct, that is heavily armed and shielded.

The Gate House is part of the Force Stop project. The Pinwheel Gate is rigged with Anti Matter charges and can be destroyed at any moment.

Rumor

Some analysts believe the Xundran or someone built the Gate and have been in the Small Magellan Cloud for millenia.
