Sagittarius A* is 25,900 light years from Sol. It will take roughly 700 jumps to reach the system with a 35-40ly jump range. The record time for reaching Sagittarius A* is around 8-9 hours of nonstop play and not exploring the systems on the way there. Normally, a realistic, profitable voyage to Sagittarius A* and back will take a few weeks. | Sagittarius A* is 25,900 light years from Sol.

* Being the centre of the galaxy, Sagittarius A* is one of the most popular systems outside of inhabited space. It is particularly popular with explorers, but caution is advised if going there in Open Play as some explorers have had issues with gankers waiting at the black hole to interdict unarmed explorers going to the system. | * Being the centre of the galaxy, Sagittarius A* is one of the most popular systems outside of inhabited space.
