🧭Coordinate System

In Galaxy Dust Online, navigating through the vast universe during expeditions is simplified through a structured and precise coordinate system. This system is essential for locating assets, resources, and strategic points across Galaxy Clusters, making expeditions more organized and efficient.

Understanding the Coordinate System

The coordinate system in Galaxy Dust Online breaks down into five essential parts, ensuring every location can be pinpointed accurately. Below is an explanation of each part:

Component	Description	Example
GC (Galaxy Cluster)	The first two letters of the Galaxy Cluster name. This identifies the broadest region of the universe.	In (Inara)
Galaxy	A number representing the specific galaxy within the cluster.	6 (Galaxy 6)
SC (Star Cluster)	A number representing the star cluster within the galaxy.	3 (Star Cluster 3)
Star System	A unique name for the star system within the star cluster.	ASW 85
Specific Location	A number that pinpoints an exact location within the star system (e.g., CAN, planet, asteroid).	87

Example Coordinate: In - 6 - 3 - ASW 85 - 87

Detailed Breakdown of a Coordinate

1. GC (Galaxy Cluster): The first component identifies the Galaxy Cluster where the expedition is located. For instance, “In” stands for Inara, one of the clusters available in the game.

2. Galaxy: The second component specifies the galaxy number within the cluster. For example, “6” represents the 6th galaxy within the Inara cluster.

3. SC (Star Cluster): The third component indicates the specific star cluster within the galaxy. For instance, “3” refers to Star Cluster 3 in Galaxy 6.

4. Star System: The fourth component is a unique alphanumeric identifier for a star system within the star cluster. For example, “ASW 85” identifies a specific star system.

5. Specific Location: The final component narrows down to an exact point within the star system. This could represent a CAN station, a planet, an asteroid field, or any other asset. For example, “87” refers to a specific object or location.

Using Coordinates in Expeditions

When organizing an expedition, players can input a coordinate to identify the destination. This system ensures:

• Efficiency: Players can directly locate points of interest without unnecessary navigation.

• Collaboration: Teams and alliances can easily share and coordinate missions by referencing shared coordinates.

• Strategy: Precise targeting of specific resources or objectives within a star system improves mission outcomes.

Chart of Coordinate Hierarchy

Below is a visual representation of how the coordinate system organizes the universe:

Galaxy Cluster (GC) → Galaxy → Star Cluster (SC) → Star System → Specific Location

Level	Example	Description
Galaxy Cluster	In (Inara)	The largest division in the universe.
Galaxy	6	A specific galaxy within the cluster.
Star Cluster	3	A group of stars within the galaxy.
Star System	ASW 85	A specific star system within the cluster.
Specific Location	87	An exact point in the star system.

Tips for Using the Coordinate System

• Plan Ahead: Before launching an expedition, identify and input the target coordinates to save time.

• Collaborate: Share coordinates with your alliance to synchronize efforts and maximize resource gathering.

• Explore Efficiently: Use the system to track previously visited locations and identify new areas for exploration.

IMPORTANT: Each player’s planets and CAN stations are assigned specific coordinates based on this system. For strategic purposes, players will have the ability to modify the "Specific Location" part of their coordinates once every 24 hours using specialized technologies and structures.
