Galactic Core

The Galactic Core is the very center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Third Imperium defines the exact point as 10,000 parsecs from Reference. The Zhodani Core Expeditions have yet, as of 1116, to reach this place but they are heading in its direction.

Description (Specifications)

The Galactic Core is a region of very high stellar density. The stars within the central 1500 pc radius form a spheroidal bulge and one or more "bars" that radiate from the bulge. These elongated bar-shaped structures have a stellar density of over 50,000 stars per cubic parsec. At the very center of the core is a super-massive black hole named Sagittarius A* that masses approximately 4.3 x 10⁶ M_Sol. Approximately 10 million stars orbit within 1.0 lightyear of this object.

Even outside the immediate environs of the central black hole, it is speculated that high radiation levels may make life impossible for some distance from the core.
