'''Galactic Regions''' are astrographical subdivisions of the [[Milky Way]] [[galaxy]] that were established by [[Universal Cartographics]] in December 3304 to aid in navigation, [[Explorer|exploration]], and the organization of [[Codex]] discoveries. There are a total of 42 Galactic Regions.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/451383-Content-Recap-Beyond-Chapter-Four-Livestream-Exploration-and-the-Codex Frontier Forums: Content Recap - Beyond - Chapter Four Livestream - Exploration and the Codex]</ref> The two most important regions with respect to [[Human|humanity]] are the [[Inner Orion Spur]], which contains [[Sol]] and the vast majority of human civilization within the [[Core Systems]], and the [[Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm]], which contains [[Colonia]] and the [[Colonia Region]].

'''Galactic Regions''' are specific areas in the Milky Way [[galaxy]]. There are 57 regions and 9 major galactic arms mapped out and presented on a high definition map for explorers, chorniclers and storytellers to use in their journeys through the Milky Way.

This is based on the community driven Galactic Mapping Project. The maps, regions, points of interest and names are not officially sanctioned by [[Frontier Developments]]. However, some have been adopted by Frontier over the past 18 months. Most notably Beagle Point, Rendezvous Point, Colonia, and lately Hawking's Gap and the Sagittarrii Conflux.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/293868-The-Mapping-Project-quot-Regional-Galactic-Map-Announcement-quot</ref>

EDSM has a detailed [https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping interactive map] with tons of information about the galaxy submitted by explorers.

[[File:Elite_Dangerous_-_The_Galactic_Mapping_Project_-_The_Galaxy_Revealed|right|250px]]The regional maps have been a work in progress since the mapping project began back in February 2015. Little by little, as explorers and pioneers traversed the depths of space, they submitted data of their travels to the mapping project to help gradually build up a picture of the galaxy, and over time these player-submitted regions were pieced together.
  
−  
−
The people who helped were intrepid explorers, pioneers who named unseen regions of space that no [[human]] had travelled to before. It represents a monumental and successful undertaking by the community that benefits a huge number of players.

Galactic Regions are astrographical subdivisions of the Milky Way galaxy that were established by Universal Cartographics in December 3304 to aid in navigation, exploration, and the organization of Codex discoveries. There are a total of 42 Galactic Regions.[1] The two most important regions with respect to humanity are the Inner Orion Spur, which contains Sol and the vast majority of human civilization within the Core Systems, and the Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm, which contains Colonia and the Colonia Region.
