Astrogation involves the use of a navcomputer to plot a hyperspace course. The calculations involved are insanely complicated, and require an up-to-date set of charts.
Test
- This is an Intellect (Astrogation) test.
- Difficulty: The Difficulty of this test varies starts at a base of . This is subject to the following modifiers:
- Hyperspace Routes: The proximity of both starting point and destination relative to hyperspace lanes is also relevant. The dice for both origin and destination are cumulative.
- Arrival Point: Exactly where the vessel arrives, relative to the destination point, can alter the dice pool as well.
- In atmosphere: + Upgrade Difficulty once. A dangerous and unpredictable trick, this puts the ship into the atmosphere of the planet in question, effectively aiming for hyperspace breach right at the edge of the world's gravity shadow. Upon arrival, the ship takes 1 System Strain for every Silhouette level it has, and the pilot must make a Pilot check (with a Difficulty equal to his vessel's Silhouette -1) to avoid taking an immediate Critical Hit.
- In orbit: . The ship arrives at the edge of the planet's gravity well, and is immediately coasted into its orbit. Pilot must make a Piloting check, (Dif 3) or take 3 System Strain.
- At the edge: . The ship arrives within easy sight of the planet in question, right around the lunary sphere (area where most moons orbit a planet).
- Five minutes out: . The world is clearly visible, though a short distance away.
- Ten minutes out: No Modifiers. The ship arrives ten minutes from the destination point.
- An hour out: . The ship arrives quite a distance away (often closer to the planet's nearest neighbor than the planet itself). The destination is some distance out, with plenty of time to scan the arrival point.
- Edge of system: . The ship arrives at the edge of the system in question. This can take 1d10 hours to reach the destination or so, but making a system's-edge jump can be a good way to approach stealthily and/or with ample time to run full scans on the system as a whole.
- Time Taken: The time it takes to plot an astrogation course is as follows:
- Points in same System: 1 turn
- Points in same Sector: 3 turns
- Points in same Region: 5 turns
- Points in different Regions: 10 turns, plus 5 turns per "band" of space between Points

Hyperspace Travel Times
- The number given is the time in hours it takes to travel from one location to another.
- If both sites are within the same 90º arc, halve the resultant number.
- If both sites are in the same Sector, travel duration is 1d10 hours.
- If both sites are in the same System, travel duration is 1 hour.
