Galactic coordinates

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

(Redirected from Galactic coordinate)

Galactic coordinates refer to the location of star systems on the galactic plane. Every system is located by its XYZ coordinates; X measures the system's "east-west" location, Y measures its "north-south" location, and Z measures its distance above or below the galactic plane. The system is known as the Coruscant coordinates system as it is centered on Coruscant rather than the actual galactic center - Coruscant is dignified with XYZ coordinates of 0,0,0 (Triple Zero in military speak). In the Coruscant system, a parsec is 3.26 light years, with fifteen parsecs corresponding to one unit on the coordinates scale. A negative number for X, Y or Z coordinates indicate that the star system is west of, south of, or below Coruscant's position.[1]

All starship navicomputers contain XYZ coordinates for billions of star systems.[1]

Another example is Kiribi, located at (099,099,011).
