Type: Spiral
Distance from Milky Way: 2.5 million light-years.
Diameter: 260,000 light-years.
Mass: 400 billion solar masses.
Number of Stars: 1 trillion.
Astronomical Unit: 92.95 million miles.
Ships: The 780w-12 is the standard computer model on a spaceship.
Galactic Credits: 750 GC = 1 USD (Seven hundred fifty galactic credits roughly equate to one U.S. Dollar)
The Andromeda galaxy, our Milky Way's closest neighbor, is the most distant object in the sky that you can see with your unaided eye — but only on a clear night from a location with a very dark sky. It is only one of ten galaxies that can be seen with the unaided eye. The galaxy is a beautiful spiral. A spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, Andromeda contains a concentrated bulge of matter in the middle, surrounded by a disk of gas, dust, and stars 260,000 light-years long, more than 2.5 times as long as the Milky Way. Andromeda boasts a large ring of dust in its center, giving it an interesting shape.
English is a dead language only spoken by people from the Milky Way. The closest thing to English is the Debarian tongue, which is comparable to German vs. English.
The Andromeda Galaxy has a multitude of languages and many people know three-four languages by the time they leave their respective schooling. There is a language called Galacti'trade, which as by the name suggests is an intergalactic trade language. A combination of a multitude of languages and gestures, it is commonly used by traders and low-life specials.
The fastest way to connect with people who do not speak the same language is to get a Una-lator. These lovely devices come in various forms - from earbuds (think Bluetooth) to bracelets, from collars to distinguished and easily hidden ear studs (those these are high end). Una-lators can be purchased at most major trade areas (and of course this includes the RIT space station).
