Intragalactic Bridges (IG-Bridges)

These bridges are Einstein–Rosen bridges that connect two points through space-time and allow human spacecrafts to travel distances that in any other way would be unreachable. They are immense and very complex structures, which basically need to be built from the ground up focusing on specific celestial coordinates. Once they are built, they cannot bridge space-time to any other coordinates and so much research is needed before so that the best choice of coordinates is chosen.

IG-Bridges are located in space and are one of the wonders created by syrakis, the cutting edge of human technology. To build one of them is a massive investment spanning decades. They are also very expensive to maintain, so much that five of them, from a total of seven, had to be deactivated because, contrary to the expectation of decades of research, they ended up pointing to barren star systems instead of resource-full ones. To keep them active would be too expensive.

The two activate IG-Bridges each point to different spots in the Milky Way, star systems thousands of light years away from Earth and apart from each other. The first one, IG-Bridge 4, point to the Divastuss Star System. The second one, IG-Bridge 5, point to the Hankilla Star System. In Divastuss, humanity has populated four planets and eleven moons. Other six planets and thirty moons are mainly used for resource extraction and/or scientific studies. In Hankilla, two planets and one moon were populated, while eight other planets and seventeen moons were used for resource extraction and/or scientific studies.

IG-Bridges always act in pair, one in the beginning and one in the end. When the first is created, they use it to send autonomous robots to the other end, where the second point will be built. Once the second one is finished, they connect them by turning on the wormhole.
