The '''Galactic Plane''' is a plane 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~~.

The '''Galactic Plane''' is the plane where most of the mass of the [[galaxy]], consisting of stars and other astronomical objects, is located. It is approximately 105,700 light-years in diameter and 1,000 light-years thick.<ref>[https://starwalk.space/en/news/the-milky-way-galaxy Milky Way Galaxy: Facts, Location & How to See It From Earth] - 30 June 2026</ref>

== High Points in the Galaxy ==

[[File:Rackham's Peak.png|thumb|200px|right|Rackham's Peak in HIP 58832]]

=== 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 the route listed below, provided the ship being used to make the trip has a jump range of at least 55ly, makes use of neutron star boosting, and watches its fuel consumption.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/highest-point-in-the-galaxy.354119/ Frontier Forums: Highest point in the Galaxy]</ref>

* 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)

=== HIP 58832 ===

The system HIP 58832 is +5319.219 light years above the galactic plane, and lies directly above the [[Core Systems]]. It features the outpost [[Rackham's Peak]], and is only reachable with the use of a [[Fleet Carrier]].

== Low Points in the Galaxy ==

[[File:HIP-13044-is-17000-ly-below-galactic-plane.png|thumb|200px|HIP 13044 is 17,000 ly below the galactic plane]]

=== 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 ===

HIP 13044 is 17,000 light years below the galactic plane, outside the galaxy. It is lower than the PSR systems and normally inaccessible. CMDR Halosos was teleported there by [[Frontier Developments|Frontier]] staff for his birthday present during ''Elite Dangerous'' Beta 2.1.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/4jbr7p/today_is_my_birthday_and_i_thought_i_would_go_out/ reddit: Today is my birthday and I thought I would go out on a limb and ask FD for a birthday present.]</ref>

== Furthest Points in the Galaxy ==

[[File:Milky-Way-from-Beagle-Point.png|thumb|200px|Milky Way from Beagle Point]]

=== 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 are no further systems to jump to from this system in a 33ly [[Asp Explorer]]. The Milky Way as seen from Beagle Point there is a shiny band in the distance, too far off to see the dust clouds.

=== Oevasy SG-Y d0 ===

[[File:Galactic-Plane-OEVASY SG-Y D0 Salome Reach.png|thumb|200px|Galactic Plane in system Oevasy SG-Y d0 at Salomé's Reach]]

[[Oevasy SG-Y d0]], nicknamed Ishum's Reach, is one of the furthest systems from the galactic plane. It is 65,647.34 light years from Sol. The most remote planet in the system is Oevasy SG-Y d0 9 f, also known as [[Kahina Tijani Loren|Salomé's]] Reach.
