Title: A new system/planet to add to the list!
Post by: lastjedi on September 08, 2015, 11:12:59 PM

or at least I think it is.  I've not seen it in any of Volt's spreadsheets.
In the Interstellar Expeditions Sourcebook, under the banner at the top on the right side between the words RIMWARD WONDERS and
the "i" icon of the Deep Periphery (Rimward Sector) map, there is a planet labeled as Saggina (-605.395996,-2002.327393).

You can search on the pdf and find it.

Just happened to be poking around with a few instruments of choice and all was revealed.  BTW, have you ever used Inkscape?

hmm, no I have not used Inkscape, I have a super old version of Adobe Illustrator that I use. Good find on that one. We are now up to 3141 systems. Spreadsheet is updated. The coordinates I got were (-605.394, -2002.330) from the following raw data

X = 458.347, 1000LY = 263.899px
Y = 126.366, 1000LY = 263.898px

LY to px scale taken from the 1000LY circle in the map, instead of using the 300LY ruler so that I could get a Y-scale as well.
