'''[[Elite Dangerous]]''' contains a vast 1:1 scale simulation of the '''Milky Way galaxy''' based on real scientific principles, current scientific data and theories. It includes around 400 billion [[star system]]s, and is modeled on actual galactic charts. Planets and moons rotate and orbit with 1:1 scale in real-time, thus constantly changing a system's environment. The galaxy is divided into 42 [[Galactic Regions]].
 
[[Elite Dangerous]] has a 1:1 scale simulation of the '''Milky Way galaxy''' based on real-life scientific principles, data and theories.

''Elite Dangerous'' is groundbreaking in that the galaxy's structure is based on hard science. Numerous star surveys were used to plot real stars in the night sky and to help compose a consist model of the Milky Way.


During a keynote presentation at Nordic Game 2014 [[David Braben]] said, ''"We've taken a lot of hard science to compose the galaxy so everybody that's in all sorts of star surveys we've merged with fixed errors in the star surveys and so in one place, possibly for the first time we've got a very consistent model of the galaxy and it's rich enough that we can plot the night sky. But when we plotted the night sky as viewed from Earth it's really bright and it actually doesn't look right. So what we've then done is we've tuned the dust so that it actually matches the night sky when viewed from [[Earth]]. What's interesting is there is way more dust than most scientific theories say there should be. But we can tell by just wandering outside on a clear day and looking know that's what it should be so we are actually looking at that from sort of first principles. There really is a lot of dust, but the great thing from a game point of view is it actually makes the night sky very interesting. So you don't need to fly very far in game terms from Earth for the night sky to change quite dramatically. So for those who've played it we've actually put in most of the earth centric constellations in the sky, but when you travel a little away they all distort, but more important we are bang in the middle of this dust. So your night sky is quite dark, but if you go say a hundred light years directly out of the galactic plane it’s a bit like poking up. When you're on a plane taking off from an airport, you get that amazing view when you come out of the clouds looking out of the window and you suddenly see right across. That's what it's like and some of the systems, [[Achenar]] for example is the center of the Empire and a giant system which is actually out of the galactic plane so you can see across to the galaxy just a little bit it's just wonderful."''<ref name=":2" />

=== 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*]].

There is a layer of systems throughout the galaxy that has a very high density of brown dwarf stars. The layer is located approximately on the galactic plane. This represents a hazard to exploration navigation because it contains very few scoopable stars.

The online galaxy of '''[http://elite.frontier.co.uk/ Elite: Dangerous]''' is a shared universe maintained by a central server. All of the meta data for the galaxy is shared between players on all platforms. This includes the galaxy itself as well as transient information like economies. The aim here is that a player's actions will influence the development of the galaxy, without necessarily having to play multiplayer.

Because the game features very high speed twitch combat and very detailed damage models, this is the most reliable way to do it, also keep in mind there can be many sessions within a star system and those sessions can dynamically move around, also because this game uses a [[Elite: Dangerous FAQ#How big will planets and star systems.C2.A0be.3F|1:1 scale Milky Way galaxy]], sessions will typically be spread out much farther away [[Elite: Dangerous FAQ#How are players going to meet each other in such a huge galaxy.3F|(although most of the action will be within the core systems)]] and it wouldn't be immersion breaking as opposed to a space game in a smaller area.
ED features high speed twitch combat and detailed damage models so the aforementioned method is the most reliable way to do it. There can be many sessions within 1 star system. Those sessions can dynamically move around many light years. ED's 1:1 scale Milky Way, means sessions are typically spread out much further. However, the lion's share of player activity is within the [[Core Systems]].
