Using the newest functions available in game maker 7, I am now able to procedurally generate a galaxy of around 18,000 or more stars in stunning (well not that stunning...) 2D!

Milestones:
Each star has a unique(?) name, class, and number of satellites.
The player currently can travel to these stars to see what kind of objects will orbit them in later versions. (he objects will look much nicer by then...)
