'''Sagittarius A*''', officially abbreviated as '''Sgr A*''' and colloquially as '''SagA*''', is the [[Star system|system]] in the [[Galactic Centre]] region that is recognized as the exact centre of the [[Galaxy|Milky Way galaxy]]. It is 25,899.99 light-years away from [[Sol]]. The system is home to the only known [[Black Holes|Supermassive Black Hole]], as well as a white B-type star called [[Source 2]]. Dedicated [[explorer]]s are traditionally expected to visit Sagittarius A* at least once in their careers due to its significance, but any pilot can make the trip provided they prepare their [[Ships|ship]] with long-range travel in mind.

Only 3.66 ly away from Sagittarius A* is the system [[Stuemeae FG-Y d7561]], where [[Explorer's Anchorage]] is located. Explorer's Anchorage is the closest [[Starport]] to both Sagittarius A* and [[Beagle Point]], as well as the most distant Starport from [[Sol]]. It is a convenient rest stop for Sagittarius A* visitors and other travelers passing through the Galactic Centre.

==History==

Sagittarius A* was documented by [[Universal Cartographics]] at some point, but remained uncharted and unexplored until December 1, 3300, when CMDR Zulu Romeo, piloting the [[Cobra MkIII]] ''Useless Reptile'', became the first human to enter and scan the system while scouting a route for the First Great Expedition. A wave of visitors followed beginning on January 8, 3301 with CMDR Erimus Kamzel, and in short order Sagittarius A* became a significant touchstone for explorers and independent expeditions. Its importance was commemorated on October 25, 3302 with the addition of [[Tourist Beacon]] 0082 "The Centre", which remains the only permanent artificial structure in the system.

During the [[Distant Worlds II]] expedition of 3305, the expedition members constructed [[Explorer's Anchorage]], an [[Orbis]] [[starport]], in the nearby [[Stuemeae FG-Y d7561]] system to serve as a research centre and rest stop for visitors to Sagittarius A*.
