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 of either a single cell, or whose digits do NOT form a 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 Galactic Census requires that all galaxies with at least THREE cells must report their star system count (sum of digits in the galaxy).

Love this kind of puzzle. Thanks for sharing this very nice one!
I think it‘s closer to 2 stars difficulty.
