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>
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.

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>

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>

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.

[[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.

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.
