What if Voyager had been thrown 70,000 ly into the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy orbiting our own?
Interestingly enough, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy independently orbits our own galaxy at a distance of 70,000 light years which so happens to be the same distance Voyager was thrown across the galaxy.
If fate had instead dropped Voyager into the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy would the journey home still have been feasable and/or would they have had to consider other options and strategies to get home?

Has any faction (other than the 'nids) gotten to the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy etc?
So, in 40k have any of the factions (other than the 'nids) ever reached, settled or colonised the nearby galaxies / globular clusters around the milky way such as the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy, Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, Segue 1, Large Magellanic Cloud etc.?
If so, what are they doing there/what are the source books?

Scientists have mapped Sagittarius—a neighboring dwarf galaxy—in exquisite detail, and they’ve used that map to provide a long-sought picture of the mysterious dark matter halo in which our Milky Way resides. sciencemag.org/news/2020/…

New MeerKAT radio image reveals complex heart of the Milky Way - including a stunning view of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy sarao.ac.za/media-release…
Astrophysicists make most precise measurement yet of milky way’s central black hole mass. Sagittarius A*, supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, has a mass of 4.3 million times that of the Sun, according to an analysis of observations by the GRAVITY instrument on ESO’s VLTI eso.org/public/news/eso21…

Astronomers have spotted a black hole "giving birth" to stars at the center of a nearby dwarf galaxy
Did the Star people Rule the Sagittarius arm or just the Orion Spur because it said "was still enough to fill humanities own spiral arm of the galaxy" If it was just the spur this could explain why there's not any intelligent life found, the 1000 worlds and why the Qu where not encountered earlier?

The Sun is not a typical star: About 3/4 of the galaxy's stars are red dwarfs, and most of the rest are also smaller than the Sun. Some stars are WAY bigger, but the Sun is still on the high end. Science fiction shows typically have ships visiting sun-like stars, but most stars are not like ours. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ste…
Is it still widely accepted that the Sol system resides in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy? If so, is the Orion Arm still assumed to be a minor "spur" of the Perseus or Carina-Sagittarius arms, or is it really thought to be its own minor arm?
I'm writing a Scifi novel (please don't yell at me!) and one thing I want to be as accurate as possible about is the general position of things in our galaxy. But I'm having a hard time finding agreement on where exactly the Sol System is located relative to the two major arms of the Milky Way. Between the Perseus and Sagittarius arms seems like a given, but is our "Orion Arm' a proper minor arm in and of itself? Is it a spur of a larger arm? Is it something else entirely?
Thanks in advance!

Scientists observed a black hole birthing new stars in a dwarf galaxy for the first time, providing evidence as to how these all-consuming objects can create stellar nurseries. The observations also reveal how ancient black holes may have formed shortly after the Big Bang. inverse.com/science/black…
This was sold to me as dwarf Sagittarius but I'm pretty sure it isn't, does anyone have any idea what it is
Astronomers have spotted a black hole "giving birth" to stars at the center of a nearby dwarf galaxy — and the stellar newborns are tethered to the black hole by a massive "umbilical cord" made of gas and dust.
