Galactic Plane
The Galactic Plane is the plane where most of the mass of the galaxy, consisting of stars and other astronomical objects, is located. It is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter and 1,000 light-years thick.
High Points in the Galaxy
Systeia Aub BA-A g12
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.[1]
- Systeia Aub KR-W e1-11 (neutron star)
- 137.79 LY jump to Systeia Aub BA-A g11 (black hole with secondary NS)
- 211.43 LY jump to Systeia Aub BA-A g10 (black hole and neutron star)
- 218.27 LY jump to Systeia Aub BA-A g12 (2 x BH and a NS)
HIP 58832
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.
Low Points in the Galaxy
Syrumbi YE-A g4
The system Syrumbi YE-A g4 is 3216.875 light years below the galactic plane. It can be reached using this route:
- Syrumbi IC-U e3-4 (neutron star)
- 219.22 LY jump to Syrumbi YE-A g7 (black hole & 2 x neutron star)
- 169.24 LY jump to Syrumbi YE-A g8 (BH & 3 x NS)
- 199.93 LY jump to Syrumbi YE-A g4 (BH & NS)
HIP 13044
Furthest Points in the Galaxy
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 Explorer. The Milky Way as seen from Beagle Point there is a shiny band in the distance, too far off to see the dust clouds.
Oevasy SG-Y d0
Oevasy SG-Y d0, nicknamed Ishum's Reach, is one of the furthest systems from the galactic plane. It is 65,647.34 light years from Sol. The most remote planet in the system is Oevasy SG-Y d0 9 f, also known as Salomé's Reach.
