Coordinate System

Spatial coordinates
Usually every coordinate has a 4-digit system number and three 2-digit numbers representing the coordinates of the current solar system (X-Y-Z). Exceptions are the highest ones, which have an additional digit to represent position 100.
- Example: 1234:50:60:70
Star System Number
Every star system has a unique number. Starting with the upper left system (first row, first system - 0001) and ending with the lower right one (last row, last system - 10000).
0001 0002 0003 ... 0099 0100 first row 0101 0102 0103 ... 0199 0200 second row 0201 0202 0203 ... 0299 0300 third row continues to 9801 9802 9803 ... 9899 9900 9901 9902 9903 ... 9999 10000 last row
Neighbour Systems
Neighbour systems will have a system number which vary between +/- 1 and/or +/- 100.
- -1-100 = -101
- -100
- -1
- -1+100 = 99
- +1-100 = -99
- +1
- +100
- +1+100 = 101
Example for system 0250
| 0149 | 0150 | 0151 |
| 0249 | 0250 | 0251 |
| 0349 | 0350 | 0351 |
Coordinates inside the star system
The coordinates inside the system are represented by the three 2-digit° numbers xx:yy:zz behind the star system number. Those represent a 3D space-view, where 01:01:01 is located "top left - behind" and 100:100:100 is located at "lowest right - in front". The distance between 01:01:01 and 100:100:100 is 172 au.
° Exeption: The last value of 100.
Calculation formula for the star system number
The coordinate system uses the following pattern:
- (Y-1) * 100 + X = System-ID
Example: Coordinates X = 10 ; Y = 20
Result: (20-1) * 100 + 10 = 1910
Therefore the system number is 1910
