Eden Gateway

The Eden Gateway was an ancient portal located in the Eden System, about 200 light years from Earth. Its technology is Xuez'arq in origin, and it is estimated to be 2 million years old. The size of the gateway allowed whole fleets of starships instantaneous travel over enormous distances, even to other galaxies. Discovered back in 2760 but was never used by the Federation until 3003, the Gateway was believed to have led to what possibly was the former homeworld of the Xuez'arq. The Gateway is now mainly used in exploration missions, even in intergalactic space exploration. Now under the control of the Federation, the Gateway has become a sort of transport hub for intergalactic travel, with the Eden Gateway Spaceport constructed nearby.

In 3005, the Eden Gateway was activated to allow 5 arks to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy for resettlement of displaced former Andromedan Commonwealth colonists and citizens in the Valar Cluster.
