Navigation in Ealdremen

Due to the nature of space and the movement of celestial bodies, navigation in Ealdremen relies predominately upon what few things remain constant in the system. Although planets' positions relative to one another are not constant, what lies within their orbit does. As such, space stations and other satellites (both natural and artificial) are referred to by the primary they orbit and their distance from these primaries.
Distance is measured in parsecs; although there is a standardized parsec unit now in use, some older astronomy documents or research may use units relative to their planet of origin (such as a Sigzlorian parsec), and astronomy studies specifically focusing on a given planet may also use these units of measurement. The modern parsec and the Gerualdian parsec are one and the same, equally due to Gerualdi's more convenient location to the sun and also due to the prolific nature of Gerualdian astronomers following the Third Galactic War and during the Millennial Calm.
