150.131.137.2: /* OEVASY SG-Y D0 */ Added comma to the distance from Sol to make it easier to read the number.

The '''Galactic Plane''' is where most of the mass of the [[galaxy]] is located. It's 100,000 light-years across and only 1,000 light-years thick with stars and other celestials.

== High Points in the Galaxy ==
None of these require a super long jump range by today's standards (55 LY plus the neutron boost) but you do need to be able to do those jumps whilst carrying enough fuel to get there and back again since there are no options to refuel.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/354119-Highest-point-in-the-Galaxy</ref>

=== Systeia Aub BA-A g12 ===
The system Systeia Aub BA-A g12 is +3173.375 light years above the galactic plane. It can be reached using this route:

* Systeia Aub KR-W e1-11 (neutron star)
* 137.79 LY jump to Systeia Aub BA-A g11 (black hole with secondary NS)
* 211.43 LY jump to Systeia Aub BA-A g10 (black hole and neutron star)
* 218.27 LY jump to Systeia Aub BA-A g12 (2 x BH and a NS)

=== Syrumbi YE-A g4 ===
The system Syrumbi YE-A g4 is -3216.875 light years below the galactic plane. It can be reached using this route:

* Syrumbi IC-U e3-4 (neutron star)
* 219.22 LY jump to Syrumbi YE-A g7 (black hole & 2 x neutron star)
* 169.24 LY jump to Syrumbi YE-A g8 (BH & 3 x NS)
* 199.93 LY jump to Syrumbi YE-A g4 (BH & NS)

=== HIP 13044 ===
CMDR Halosos went to HIP 13044 which is 17,000 light years below the galactic plane, outside the galaxy. It's lower than the PSR systems and normally inaccessible. He was teleported there by Frontier for his birthday present during beta 2.1.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/4jbr7p/today_is_my_birthday_and_i_thought_i_would_go_out/</ref>

== Furthest Points in the Galaxy ==

=== Beagle Point ===
[[Beagle Point]] is located 65,279 light years away from [[Sol]]. This is more than twice the distance from Sol to [[Sagittarius A*]]. There aren't further systems to jump to in a 33ly [[Asp]]. The Milky Way there is a shiny band in the distance, too far off to see the dust clouds.

=== OEVASY SG-Y D0 ===

]]

OEVASY SG-Y D0 (Ishum's Reach) is one of the systems that's furthest from the galactic plane. It's 65,647.34 light years from Sol. The planet furthest from the system is 9F, also known as Salomé's Reach.
