Galactic East

Galactic East

Defined direction in the M-0 Galaxy,

Old Terran Human (United Earth) way of describing directions and regions of the M-0 Galaxy. They used the gravitational center between M-0 and Andromeda to  define the Northern direction and the Galactic Core as center and divided the M-0 Galaxy in the same geographical directions they used on Earth.

Most of the continuous space of Union region is Galactic West Most of  Galactic East is unexplored
 * Upward sector is Galactic North West
 * Coreward is Galactic South West
 * Upward is Galactic North East
 * Downward is Galactic South East

The use of these galactic directions is not official and never was. However Humans find it easy to relate and it is still a popular way of describing a direction or location to Human Terrans (and a few others)

[1] The terms : Up, Spin, Core and Down ward are also controversial especially since the terms up and down are hard to define in space without a center of gravitation as focal point.

Astrographers proposed to abandon the a M-0 centric terminology and replace it with a simple four symbol code dividing all Galaxies into 4 parts. A new Navigation system centered on the gravitational center of the known galaxy (Great Attractor)

Upward would be M0-1 Spinward = M0-2 Downward = M0-3 Coreward = M0-4
