== High Points in the Galaxy ==
The highest reachable points in the galaxy do not require extreme jump ranges to access. A range of 55 ly, plus the use of neutron star boosting, should be sufficient, but pilots should take care to ensure they are carrying enough fuel to jump both to and from these systems, as they lack options to refuel.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/354119-Highest-point-in-the-Galaxy Frontier Forums: 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/showthread.php/354119-Highest-point-in-the-Galaxy Frontier Forums: Highest point in the Galaxy]</ref>

The system HIP 58832 is +5319.219 light years above the galactic plane.
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]].
* This system is only reachable with a [[Fleet Carrier]].

=== 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]]. The Milky Way as seen from Beagle Point there is a shiny band in the distance, too far off to see the dust clouds.
