Normal sudoku rules apply.
Divide the grid into galaxies: orthogonally connected groups of cells that have 180 degree rotational symmetry about their centers (marked with a small dot). All cells must be part of a galaxy; no galaxies overlap.
Grey dots mark "renban" galaxies: those with two or more cells, whose digits form an unbroken consecutive sequence in any order. White dots mark galaxies whose digits do NOT form a consecutive sequence. Digits may not repeat within a galaxy.
As per Galactic Map Standards: All galaxies with at least TWO cells indicate their SMALLEST digit with a diamond icon. All galaxies with at least SIX cells indicate their LARGEST digit with a circle icon.
The cages mark "Vaults of the Heavens". Digits within a Vault MAY repeat. Digits orthogonally adjacent to a Vault may NOT be included within that Vault.

It's amazing that this solves uniquely with so little restriction on any of the digits!

Lovely way to finish my project solving all your sudokus. I love the galactic map series, it was what originally got me hooked on your setting

Congratulations! :)

Enjoyably tough but smooth!

Liked this very much, though I did overcomplicate it with my colouring scheme to mark the galaxies as the darker colours turned out to obscure some of the hints.

Hi @blobz
The white dot galaxy is a nabner galaxy or some digits can form a sequence as long as not all.
~~
White dots are anything except renban. So there must be at least one gap in the sequence from lowest to highest.
