The game internally uses a Cartesian variant of the real-life [[Wikipedia:Galactic coordinate system|Galactic coordinate system]], visible in the Galmap grid and from exploration journal files. The origin point is Sol at 0 / 0 / 0. The principal directions point to Galactic East ("right"), Galactic North ("up", towards the constellation of Coma / ~31 Comae Berenices), and Galactic Center (~Sag A*).
