Locomra Galaxy

The Locomra Galaxy, previously known as DDO 44 is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the M81 group of galaxies, located just under 10 million light-years away from the Milky Way Galaxy. There is evidence of large scale antimatter production within the galaxy, as evidenced by characteristic gamma rays. This suggests a very large civilization resides within the galaxy, but no contact has taken place. Contact with Locomra would require larger transmitters than ever before, but plans are underway to construct one near the edge of the Milky Way. This device will weigh nearly as much as the moon, with investors hoping contact will yield interesting results.

The Locomra Galaxy is not a large one, being just around one-thousandth the size of larger galaxies like the Via Sagittaria and one percent of its parent galaxy Xastrea. It is located just fifty thousand light years away from Xastrea, and is heavily tidally disrupted by the larger galaxy's gravity, which twisted and ripped apart its shape and creating a number of star streams being thrown out from the galaxy.
