Lore Question, is this all in the milky way?

[Za Warudo!]

Been wondering for a while, is it confirmed game takes place in Milky Way or multiple galaxies.

[eMYNOCK]

those drones used conventional propulsion... not lightspeed or FTL but still damn fast.

what the alliance did was to calculate the excat coordinates of systems within the known parts of the milkyway based on the observable constallations from within different systems.

the science behind this is pretty much how we utilise our space observatories...

The lore says there are billions of them but that doesn't mean this is not the milky way though. So it is still a good question, We don't have billions of gates in this game, not all gates still exist or work.

[eMYNOCK]

not all are connected and the old network is just a minor portion of what is theorized to be in existance.

I've been playing the X games for forever, and I can answer the galaxy question. The gates are definitely intergalactic because the "unstable" drive in X3 / maybe X2? will random jump you into the voids between galaxies. The skybox in those zones are a bunch of galaxies and when it first happened to me I got a crazy feeling of existential dread trying to find a way out. I was seriously creeped out. Does anyone remember this?

My recollection of this is quite different.
I thought it was a system within the milky way, but REALLY far out - so far that there are barely any stars in the sky. As far as I remember, there is only 1 galaxy in the skybox (takes up about half the screen?), the rest of it is largely black, with only a few stars? At least, thats how I remember it. It is entirely possible that I got annoyed and just headcannoned it as a system 'within' the milky way but very, very, very far out.

fun fact the Sector Upwards of Ianamus zura IV has the same "skybox" and shows the milkyway from afar or atleast the same constellation as one of the UFJD Sectors mentioned
