Inter-Galactic Gates (IGG) are a class of wormholes or similar phenomenon leading to locations beyond the disk of our own Milky Way galaxy. They are currently the only verified method for intergalactic expeditions.

Known Inter-Galactic Gates

Bacterian Gates

Main article: Sagittarius Gate

An exotic type of short-period wormhole used by the Bacterians, it appears the Bacterian IGGs are artificially induced. The method for this is unclear, although it must involve immense gravimetric forces. These wormholes often collapse immediately after they have been used.

Namguroon Gate

Main article: Namguroon Gate

The first IGG to be discovered, the Namguroon Gate was initially found by Hemmoian scientists. It was closer to Gigerdi Alliance territories, however, leading the GA Military to assume control over it. The other end of the wormhole appeared to be in one of the Milky Way's globular clusters, inhabited by the mysterious Namguroon Federation. Due to failed diplomacy, a brief conflict between the GA and the Namguroon flared, but was cut short when the wormhole collapsed.

Andromeda Gate

Main article: Andromeda Gate

The Andromeda Gate is the only currently known stable Inter-Galactic Gate, leading to the Andromeda Galaxy. It is owned by the Gigerdi Alliance but the IPA and the Hemmoian Federation have also been allowed to send expeditionary missions through, thanks to a joint agreement.
