The generation ship finally found a promising system after years of travel in space. It was a three planet system orbiting a red star. Since the star was so cold, the only habitable planet was close to the star; enough to bring tidal lock in fact. This would mean that one side of the planet would be in eternal night. However, there was a younger yellow star as the red one's binary, and this would ensure the night side's night wouldn't be a black night such as on Pelagis, rather, it would be a dark blue. It was an extraordinary find.
The ship entered orbit around the planet and dropped a pod carrying one scientist and two stormtroopers to the surface. When they landed on a beach on the night side, the first thing they noticed was that there were no stars. Well, there were stars, but they weren't scattered about the sky as on Pelagis. The stars were in the Milky Way - and it was only now the three Pelagians on the surface realised just how huge their home galaxy was.

The Empeurer Meneldur XVI gathered in front of a crowd of people in Saint John's Square. Religion was still a driving force in the Reich; perhaps making it seem backwards to other civilizations that lost faith with their technological progress.
"My subjects! For the first time, a sapient being as left his mother galaxy! And they are us! The Large Cloud orbiting our galaxy is now ours, and, with that ownership, I am organising the Reich into the first Intergalactic Reich, for a better future! Hail!"
