 As of the 5.0 update (upcoming) traveling throughout the system (and beyond!) has been reworked to allow for open exploration and custom flight paths.
-=== Coordinate System ===
+== Coordinate System ==
 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.
+=== Quadrants & Sectors ===
+Due to the massive nature of the map, and the self-centered nature of humans, the galaxy is split up into 4 quadrants, with Sol in the center. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta.

+A fifth sudo-quadrant exists in the center of the intersecting quadrants between -10,000 (X/Y) and 10,000 (X/Y). This sudo-quadrant is called the Central System, but is most commonly referred to in lore as "the system".
