It looked much like the Dark Galaxy in the Milky Way. NPC Fleets patrolled the starry void in great numbers, while newly spawned space structures floated among the stars. Large Starports drifted in orbit around the surrounding planets, making the place look like a normal interstellar civilization.
"The Tide of Darkness in this Galactic Arm has reached at least its middle stage."
Only once the Tide of Darkness reached its middle stage did civilian structures such as Starports appear in a Dark Galaxy. Otherwise, the NPC Factions were locked in endless wars, with everything geared toward militarization.
"Deploy the dimensional reconnaissance ships," he ordered. The enormous Titan Warship quickly opened its hangars, and several thousand specialized ships the size of Frigates flew out. They accelerated away from the Stellar Titan at Sublight speeds, their solid hulls gradually turning translucent until they vanished into High-Dimensional Space-Time.
These specialized reconnaissance ships were extremely difficult to build. Though small, they were almost as challenging to construct as a Forge World Ship, so only a limited number had been equipped.
But few in number did not mean unimportant. These dimensional reconnaissance ships carried onboard Dimensional Shuttles, allowing them to freely enter High-Dimensional Space-Time and use Dimensional Radar to survey regions hundreds of light-years across.
At the same time, the Sentinel Array aboard the Empire Glory opened as well. Only a Stellar Titan had enough room to install a megastructure-class radar of this kind and provide it with sufficient power.
Soon, an enormous volume of data flooded in. The construction computers began operating at full speed, and a vast Data Model started to take shape.
Unlike the Milky Way, the Andromeda River System was also known as the Whirlpool Nebula. It had no clearly defined arms like the Milky Way; instead, it was a vast
