The Rentxo Galaxy (RG 0-8-7489828-669 in 0.9.7.408) is a barred spiral (SBb) galaxy which center is located about 13 million light-years away from Milky Way. It is barely colonized, with less than 1 million systems being visited by Humans, and with only about 1,000 permanently human-inhabited colonies (1 of them being asteroid-based). Its diameter is approximately 38,100 light-years and it contains about 7.9 billion stars.

History

Rentxo has been observed since before the First Age by human space- and ground-based telescopes. It was not until after the invention of the Wormhole, however, that humans were able to explore the galaxy. The first human cruisers to arrive in the vicinity exited the wormhole in the middle rim section of the galaxy, and the first life discovered was the exotic life forms on Qui-Alm.

The energy requirement for the wormhole drive to send pioneers to Rentxo is far higher compared to that of Andromeda or the Magellanic Clouds; this has limited the access to this galaxy to a single entry point in the Pacuan system (from the Milky Way's Kodahk), known as the Kodahk-Pacuan Wormhole. The entire Human population as of 200000 is approximately 2.5 trillion.
