Newcomer / Intro other galaxies..?

[EvilestKhan]

another noobie question..

when you zoom out on the Galactic map, what are those 2 other galaxies that are in the back ground?

or an I becoming cockeyed..

Probably Andromeda and the Large Megallanic Cloud.

Probably the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds - medium-sized satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. They look like nebulae on the skybox, only they look the same from everywhere in the galaxy.

Other neighbouring galaxies are visible on the galaxy map and on the skybox: Andromeda, the Pinwheel, Triangulum; there's a thread where someone charted the two dozen or so galaxies that are visible in-game.

They're just skybox decorations, you can't actually fly to them.
