| Astrography refers both in-universe and out-of-universe methods of mapping out the regions of the Milky Way and beyond. Regions defined by Astrography may vary from the vast swaths of space associated with large galactic Rims and Quadrants, to the smaller local regions of Grid Coordinates and local Starclusters.

| ==Rims ==
| |
| [[File:Galaxyblank.png|thumb|240x240px|The Eight Galactic Rims]]
| |
| The Rims of the galaxy represent several ring-like regions positioned dependent on their distance from the core, or due to different reasons such as being unexplored or unmapped.
| |
| | |
| *Deep Core
| |
| *Inner Core
| |
| *Outer Core
| |
| *Inner Rim
| |
| *Center Rim
| |
| *Mid Rim
| |
| *Outer Rim
| |
| *Unknown Space
| |
| | |
| ==Quadrants==
| |
| [[File:Quadrants.png|thumb|240x240px|The Four Galactic Quadrants]]
| |
| There are four quadrants within the galaxy, named Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma. These represent more wider regions, keeping nearby nations together albeit separating much of the core.
| |
| | |
| *Alpha Quadrant ''(Bottom)''
| |
| *Beta Quadrant ''(Right)''
| |
| *Gamma Quadrant ''(Top)''
| |
| *Delta Quadrant ''(Left)''
| |
| | |
| ==Grid Coordinates==
| |
| [[File:gridmap.png|thumb|240x240px|Grid Coordinates]]
| |
| The Grid Coordinate System can be used for very specific location data, used with a 26x26 grid with the top row going A-Z and side row being 1-26.
| |
| ==Extragalactic Space==
| |
| Extragalactic space is unknown, and unexplored. While the civilisations of the [[Milky Way]] have been able to explore their own galaxy with ease, no [[FTL Travel|FTL Drive]] to be achieved by standard civilisations is capable of crossing the vast gap between galaxies, as it would either run out of fuel on the way or not function long enough to ever arrive.
| |
| | |
| There are some signs of what exists out there, from information trickling in from the few known extragalactic beings, to sensors and telescopes spotting impossibilities in the night sky, and to communicators detecting faint signals from distant points. Despite the curiosity of what may exist in the vast unexplored universe, there is no active need for thorough investigation. A majority of the horrors out there are too distant to leave an active impact, alongside investment in FTL Generation Ships being highly cost ineffective being impractical.
| |
| | |
| Until a large scale FTL generation ship plan is initiated, or extragalactic events reach the Milky Way once more, no interaction will occur.
