Galactic Core

The Galactic Core is at the exact center of the galaxy, surrounded by the incredibly powerful Grox Empire, which occupies some 2,400 star systems that surround the Core. Approaching the Core reduces the player's travel range, and the reductions continue the closer the player gets. Most stars near the Core are very close, so getting stuck is rare, but possible.

To get there
A player needs an Interstellar Drive 3 or higher, with the limiting effects of the gravitational fluctuations, this is just enough to travel between stars. You could also download the official Travel Radius Expansion Mod to triple the minimum travel radius. It is also suggested to have a Wormhole Key, that way one doesn't waste time going through the galaxy's arms.

To actually get to the Galactic Core, a player will have to travel through the Grox Empire, which won't be easy. Every time a player travels to another system, more Grox ships will be sent to chase the player. The Grox ships have 2,700 HP and do approximately 150 damage per second. It suggested to bring a Medium Health at least, as well as a few Anti-Matter Missiles and  Repair Mega Packs for defense. Auto Blasters are also recommended, as they will automatically counter-attack the Grox ships, even when traveling between stars. AOE Repairs are great as well, as they will completely heal you and your allies, who can soak damage while you run. Also, you need a shield for even further protection. Also, consider being a Shaman, so you can return home immediately after going to the Galactic Core. Also you might need a few Colony packs, for the creation of outposts.

As long as a player does not stop at a system, but instead immediately clicks on the next system, the ships will not catch up with the player. However, once they do catch up they can not be outrun. A solution if this happens can be to land on a empty planet and drop a colony, and then pausing to be healed and planning the next path. The Grox will not follow you there. Using the pause button makes this tactic a walk in the park, though some might consider it cheating. Also, if the player doesn't feel like fighting The Grox at the bases that become strewn out along the path, they could bring some terraforming tools (preferably the one use tools that don't use up energy) and do a drive-by terraform. The Grox will disappear once it reaches T1 (the base at least, and the ecosystem does not have to be filled). If colonies are made in this way it will also be easier to return later. As a final option if you don't want to end up at war with The Grox is to ally with them, they will attack a little later which helps but not too much.

The Core
The core is a supermassive black hole with two extremely large jets of gamma rays shooting out of its poles. Once you enter, a deep voice will begin to talk to you, congratulating you on your journey. At the same time, you are traveling through a large wormhole that shares striking features with the star gate in 2001, A Space Odyssey. A closer look reveals that those colors are actually llamas. Once you are through with your journey, you will be met by Steve, who gives you 42 Staffs of Life and he will speak about the Earth (say he want to sell it). You also receive the Galactic Core and Talked to Steve Rare, and the 42 achievement. But when you go to Earth there will be no presentation or a free breakfast.

In-Game Description
A super massive black hole found in the nucleus of many galaxies. These are the most energetic things in the universe by far. The intense radiation they produce is powered by the tremendous amount of surrounding material they consume (as much as 1000 solar masses per year). One thing most people don't know is that the galactic core is the Entrence to the Andromeda Galaxy...Where Terraspin,Water Hazard,NRG, Armodrillo, and Ampfibian live.

The Power
The power is the Staff of Life. You only have 42 turns to try this power, unfortunately - after that you can't get it back, not even one shot of ammunition. The Staff of Life will be added to your ships ability page, but strangely it appears in the atmosphere page as well.
