Orion Spur is the 27th Interstellar Object and the 1st Milky Way Galaxy obtained in the Beyond (Rank 25), which can generate Stardust 
.
Description[]
"The Milky Way stretches horizon to horizon across our night sky, a bright smear streaked with a Dark Rift. Our view is from a spur of stars within the galaxy. We're halfway between the core and the rim—each about 26,000 light years away."
Traits[]
The rare traits matching this generators type are: Milky Way . Orion Spur is also affected by the epic traits: Cosmology , Dark Matter , Dark Energy . It is also affected by the constellations: Eridanus,Hercules, as well as by the generator rank.

Sagittarius Arm | The Orion Spur sprouts from the Sagittarius Arm, one of two minor arms along with the Norma Arm. Arms are packed with gas and dust and shine with the glow of new stars. How many arms are there? We don't know. From inside the galaxy, it's tough to tell. | Generator Unlocked |
|
Spiral Structure | Arms spiral because objects closer to the core orbit faster. Spinning hurricanes, viewed from above, form similar spiral patterns. But those pinwheel bands soon disband. Why do galactic spiral arms persist for billions of years? | Sagittarius Arm |
Astronomy Mission[]
Orion Spur's Astronomy Mission is Galactic Plane.
"Just as planets circle the Sun on an ecliptic, spiral arms form on the same plane. But the galactic disk is warped, like an old vinyl record, so our solar system dips below and rises above the plane as it orbits. In 4.6 billion years, the Sun has made 20 to 25 orbits."

Galactic Habitable Zones | As with planetary systems, the galaxy has sweet spots where life can take hold. Our spur is less chaotic than a busy spiral arm. At our midway locale, we avoid both the core's extreme radiation and gravity and the metal-poor wasteland of the outskirts. | Orion Spur Rank 3 |
|
Band of Stars | In 1610, Galileo's telescope revealed that the milky smear across the night sky is not a nebula but a field of tiny stars. Immanuel Kant guessed that the stars form a rotating disk and that we are inside it. Today's telescopes are still filling in our galaxy's details. | Orion Spur Rank 6 |
