Main Waypoints Details
- Map Reference: PSR J1926+1648
- This is a pulsar over in the “western” part of the galaxy, discovered and studied by Arecibo Radio Telescope around 2008.
- Map Reference: PSR J1915+1009
- PSR J1915+1009 is a pulsar in the “western” portion of the galaxy that has been studied due to having “diverse polarization angle swings.”

- HD 174372
- XTE J1856+053
- PSR J1902+0615
Optional Waypoints Details
- Map Reference: HD 174372
- HD 1774372 is a spectral type B main sequence star. One of the furthest westward non-procedural main sequence stars in the in-game galaxy. It seems by my database that HD 235643 would be the actual furthest westward non-procedural main sequence star in the in-game galaxy.
- Map Reference: XTE J1856+053
- This is a low mass X-Ray binary discovered in 1996 and then studied again on and around 28 February 2007 for a new outburst. It is believed based on the low temperature accretion disk that a black hole is the object with the accretion disk.
