 Every location in the system is x/y coordinates relative to the sun (Sol). The standard +/- usage of X/Y coordinates apply to Gem's coordinate system. The size of the universe is limited to how large of a number the core database can store. As a result, our universe map ranges from -4,294,967,295 to 4,294,967,295 on the X/Y planes...space is big.

	In game versions prior to 4.0, all locations were based on time to/from Gemini Station. Engine Efficiency (EE) mods would increase or decrease your total travel time. For example, traveling from Gem to Earth took 5 minutes. If your ship had an EE of 50%, your Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) would be 2.5 minutes––your EE mods removing 50% of the total time to get from Gem to Earth.
