=== Exploration saturation === | |||
[[File:Galaxy Exploration Saturation Map 2026.jpg|thumb|Galaxy exploration saturation map 2026]] | |||
The saturation map by [https://edastro.com/ ED Astrometrics] shows the [[Core Systems]] and the galaxy's edge are mostly explored (red and light blue). The core regions are the least explored (dark blue and black). This is because the edge has a low star density, while the core has a very high density. There are major differences between the dense galactic core and sparse outer edge. | |||
==== Outer Edge ==== | |||
The star density in the galactic edge is very low. There are vast, empty voids of black space with rare, isolated [[Star system|systems]]. Thus individual star systems can be separated by long gaps of 40 to over 80 light-years. The spiral arms dwindle into the void of space. This requires a specialized high-jump-range exploration ship with an engineered [[Frame Shift Drive|FSD]] and premium synthesis materials to cross the Abyss gaps. | |||
==== Galactic Disk ==== | |||
The galactic disk is the flat region that extends outward from the dense central bulge (center) to the sparse outer edge. The vast majority of star systems are located there including [[Sol]]. The spiral arms with lots of stars, gas and dust. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, because the spiral arms are attached to the central bar of stars in the core. The 2 major spiral arms are the Scutum-Centaurus Arm ([[Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm]] and [[Outer Scutum-Centaurus Arm]]), and the [[Perseus Arm]]. Minor-arms are the [[Orion-Cygnus Arm]], [[Sagittarius-Carina Arm]], [[Outer Arm]] and [[Norma Arm]]. The [[Sol|Sol system]], including [[Earth]], reside in the Orion-Cygnus Arm. | |||
==== Central Bulge ==== | |||
The star density in the central bulge (galactic center) reaches extreme levels of tightly packed high-density areas (star cubes). The systems can be fractions of a light-year apart. There are thousands to millions of nearby stars. This causes severe performance loads on the in-game route-planner. The core has a high concentration of luminous B-type stars, Herbig Ae/Be stars, and surrounds [[Sagittarius A*]]. | |||
