THE 65000 LY FROM SOL CLUB
Greetings fellow Explorers, as requested by many Vets, I'm creating a list of the CMDRs that breached the 65KLY distance from Sol. The aim of this thread is not to be a mere list tough, in fact with the current FSD technology that distance is as much as you can get far from humanity home system. And you can reach that distance only going in a very specific place: The Far Galactic Rim, where the Carina Sagittarius arm fades out into nothingness. To reach that very specific place you have to cross the Abyss, the gap between the Scutum Centaurus and the Carina Sagittarius arms, one of the lowest star density region in the entire Milky Way. After that in the rim star density doesn't get much better and the last leg is exausting. So this expedition not only requires endurance, but also very good navigational skills in forms of lenghty detours, and the chilling art of manually jumping on fumes.
All of this has created a series of failures, successes, routing, record breaking and historical happenings. In other words emergent gameplay created by players. The aim of the thread is also to tell these stories.
RULES
Club Membership
1: Go 65000 LY from Sol or more.
2: Distance is always calculated from Sol, not your starting point.
3: Making it back alive is not a requirement to join the Club.
In order to prove you have been there submit a picture that shows your distance from Sol. If you already went away a Gal Map picture with a system over the 65k line, that shows explored (white icon) to you will do the job.
Your personal Max Distance from Sol
If you want you can submit your personal max distance from Sol. Only a screenshot with the distance is required.
Absolute Max Distance from Sol Record
Records will be in red colour. Date records cannot be beaten, unless you invent a time-travel device. Distance records are in red too. Every section has its records. Since the introduction of jump-boosts, Club Members decided to prevent CMDRs from boosting all the way out, stranding themself from humanity. Safety first! Also the Absolute Distance Record from Sol is something quite big and unique, there can be only one. For all these reasons I will accept, and put in red, an Absolute Max Distance from Sol Record only when Universal Cartographics register it in their database. What is required is a screenshot with system name and distance from Sol, and a screenshot of the system Map where the main star is tagged with your name. If you think you have beaten the ABSOLUTE MAX DISTANCE FROM SOL RECORD you might want to keep the system name secret untill you have sold the data.
Current records, both for a single expedition or for a rendezvous, where obtained in pre-boost era and will always last. When they'll be beated I will change their colour in Orange.
For sake of clarity I cannot distinguish if you obtained an ABSOLUTE MAX DISTANCE FROM SOL RECORD with or without boosts. The boost era has begun, from now on everything is considered boost-able.

CMDRs that breached the 65000 LY distance from SOL up to 14th February 3302: 85
* P.B.D. (Pre-Boost-Departure): these expeditions departed before the jump boost tech was released, so even if they are in the "boost era" they couldn't take advantage of that technology while navigating the Far Out Rim
SPECIAL MENTION
This section is made for all the CMDRs that couldn't cross the 65K line, but made inhuman efforts to do so, making their expedition an epic journey. These pilots have a full Club membership, but aren't counted on the main list.
1: CMDR R4nger0 - 58,000LY from SOL - This CMDR departed from the bubble in a Sidewinder with the intention to go as far as possible from Sol. Having reached the Abyss he couldn't cross it due to low FSD jumprange. He is rumored to be still out there in his Sidewinder. CMDR R4nger0 recently made contact and in fact he is still out there: you can follow the stram of his adventures here

GALACTIC MAP REFERENCES (with courtesy of Erimus - Galactic Mapping)
In the map of The Far Galactic Rim you can see where you have to go to join the Club. It is not a matter of just jumping north untill you get there. You have to cross the Abyss. The Svenno Crossing is where a 41LY Anaconda can cross, altough a lot of running on fumes is required for that beast too. The Roncevaux Crossing is where a 25LY Cobra could cross, and it is situated 8000Ly east of the meridian. Wich means that, if you went straight from Sagittarius A*, you have to make a detour southeast and then northwest that can be 25000LY long with 25LY jumprange. How much you have to detour depends on your jumprange, and it's something between Svenno Crossing and Roncevaux Crossing. The yellow line in the map shows the detour that CMDR Erimus, the first to get there, had to endure with a 35LY ASP. Of course you can climb the Carina Sagittarius arm from way south, but this is part of a very lengthy expedition that requires a lot more time than crossing the Abyss.
After you rich the rim things don't get much better. And those 65KLY systems require manual jumping for ASP pilots, but also Anaconda's pilots that want to get further. As much as I support the "explore with any ship" mentality, the rim is no joke and jumprange matters for real. This beeing said, CMDR Allitnil could reach a system just over the 65KLY line with a Cobra called the Roncevaux and he claims that 25LY jumprange are enough, but it's really an effort.
It has to be noted that nowhere else in the galaxy you can reach that distance. And that with the current FSD technology noone ever succeded in breaching the 66K limit or even getting near. So these places are not just statistical, it's as far as you can go from Sol, something that bears many meanings to the human mind.
Beagle Point
Game map search ref. : CEECKIA ZQ-L C24-0
POI Type: Historical
Beagle Point, one of the most distant star systems currently surveyed at 65,279 LYs from Sol, marked the end of the line for the 'Distant Suns' extreme-range survey mission during the very early days of deep space exploration (Dec. 3300 - Jan. 3301), and the first recorded galactic crossing (culminating on 18th Jan. 3301). Subsequently it has become a system that has been visited by explorers conducting their own survey missions of the galactic outer rim regions.
Lone Star
Game map search ref. : CHUA EOP ZC-T C20-0
POI Type: Historical
The furthest known point that a Sidewinder has reached. The ships' 11-week journey across the galaxy began in Jan. 3301 and was concluded in March 3301 when it reached the southern edge of the Abyss, 58,770 LYs from Sol, and was unable to go any further due to its limited FSD range.
Asterous - The 'Northern' Meridian
Game map search ref. : IORADY JO-Z D13-0
POI Type: Beacon (Distance Marker and 'Zero' Meridian Line Reference)
65,400 LYs 'north' of Sol, along the 0 meridian, this systems acts as a navigational distance marker, 80,400 LYs distance from the southern marker. It is thought to be the most 'northerly' reachable star from Sol.
The Sublustris Beacon
Game map search ref. : CHEAE EURL AA-A E0
POI Type: Beacon (Distance Marker)
Situated on the far edge of the 'southeastern' part of the Abyss, this system acts as a 61,000 LY distance marker and a navigational waypoint for starships heading out to the galactic rim from the Roncevaux Crossing. It is almost exactly 10,000 LYs to Beagle Point from this beacon star system.
The Roncevaux Crossing
Game map search ref. : QAUTHEIA BA-A E0
POI Type: Navigational Waypoint
Point at which a 25.8 LY range Cobra Mk III (The Roncevaux) successfully crossed the eastern edge of the Abyss into the outer galactic arm regions.
Travelers attempting to reach the most distant suns using shorter ranged craft than an Asp are advised to begin their journey across the Abyss at QAUTHEIA BA-A E0 and plot a route to EICTACH VJ-L B14-0 on the near fringe of the outer arm.
The Svenno Crossing
Game map search ref. : EOWRAIRKS NC-D D12-0
POI Type: Navigational Waypoint
Point at which a 41 LY range Anaconda successfully crossed the southern edge of the Abyss into the outer galactic arm regions.
Travelers attempting to reach the most distant suns using larger ranged craft than an Asp are advised to begin their journey across the Abyss at EOWRAIRKS NC-D D12-0 and plot a route to IORASP AQ-G D10-1 on the near fringe of the outer rim regions.
Beagle Crossing
Game map search ref. : PROYOOE LW-E D11-3
POI Type: Historical & Navigational Waypoint
Beagle Crossing is a region on the far rim of the Scutum-Centaurus arm where an Asp Explorer made the first successful crossing of the Abyss (January 3301). Today it acts as a guide for explorers attempting to traverse the Abyss in starships with approx. 34 LY FSD ranges.

Game map search ref. : Iorant FR-C c26-0
POI Type: Rare discovery due to distance
A difficult to reach point that juts out into the beyond, 65.339.95 LY from Sol. It is at the end of a "trunk" and a "branch" which requires an Anaconda configured for making long jumps to reach. The branch itself requires a 40.73 LY jump necessitating a partially depleted fuel tank. The Treehouse is among the most distant star systems currently surveyed and is situated near the Beagle Point.

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE
If you already are East of Sagittarius A* you don't need to cross the Abyss, but you can climb the Carina Sagittarius Arm. Or alternatively you can cross tha gap between the two arms way eastern than the Roncevaux Crossing. This area is called Silentium, and the gap there the Silentium-Centauri Badlands. In the Silentium Centauri Badlands star density is very good for any jumprange, especially near the ecliptical. But near the ecliptical there are few scoopable stars. There's a layer of scoopable stars just above the ecliptical that makes a good route for any spaceship, just be carefull to watch your fuel gauge, since the route plotter can throw you several unscoopables in a row. If that happens just make a jump few LY above to find OBAFGKM. The 2 POIs (Centauri Shores and Silentium Shores) are just Historical, you can start your traverse from everywhere here. I have been the first to document a crossing of Silentium, if you are interested in the details of this area please visit here.
Once you arrive in the Carina Sagittarius Arm (Silentium - Solitude - The Far Rim) don't head immidiatly north, you will never breach the 65K line here and toss yourself into the fringe where there are few stars. Just stay in the middle untill the meridian and then climb toward the Northern Meridian.
HISTORY
January 3301
- CMDR 'Erimus' Kamzel reaches the far side of the galaxy after successfully crossing the outer rim Abyss in an Asp Explorer - circa Jan. 18th 3301. The first recorded crossing of the galaxy was reported and published a few days after the explorer reached 'Beagle Point' (CEECKIA ZQ-L C24-0), a star system over 65,000 LYs from home. A GalNet report of the endeavor causes some controversy at the time as it is stated that the DSS Beagle had returned from the far galactic rim, when in reality it had been badly damaged after hyperspacing into a red giant binary pair, exited in the corona of one of the stars, and thus remained crippled out on the galactic rim for several more weeks before the journey home began.

March 3301
- CMDR SvennoJ departs on his quest to find the galaxies loneliest planet. Later in his journey he crosses the western edge of the Abyss using an Anaconda class starship.
April 3301
- CMDR Allitnil concludes his epic 14,000 star system journey, and in doing so is recorded as being the first pilot to cross the far galactic Abyss in a Cobra Mk III.
- CMDR SvennoJ reaches CEECKIA PE-E D13-0, a system 65,365 LYs from Sol - setting a new distance record for a 41 LY Anaconda.
May 3301
- CMDR R4nger0 becomes the first explorer to pilot a Sidewinder class starship to the far side of the galaxy - reaching a distance of 58,000 LYs from Sol. However the ship could not cross the outer rim Abyss due to its limited FSD range.
- CMDR Marlon Blake discovers The Treehouse, the furthest system reached to date in the Beagle Point region as chronicalled in The 65,340Ly Destination.
June 3301
- CMDR's Stulli, Barefoot Bandit and Allitnil rendezvous close to Beagle Point at CEECKIA BY-F D12-1 (Trilateral Meeting Point) on the far side of the galaxy, 65,278.49 LYs from Sol, and in doing so set a record for the first far distance encounter recorded. After that meeting CMDR Barefoot Bandit continued his lenghty expedition, but the system was already broadcasted in the Explorer channells, and another CMDR was able to "snipe" all his share of tags in the system.
July 3301
- CMDR Allitnil concludes his mission to measure the extent of the reachable galaxy and submits some of his findings to the Universal Cartographics Galactic database. In this incredible expedition, he crossed the 65K line on 28th June and a couple of days later beated the record for the furthest system from Sol ever reached: Myeia Thaa JI-B D13-0 at 65,373.72 LY.
October 3301
- A group of Veterans decided to institute THE 65000 LY FROM SOL CLUB, and designed CMDR Akira Masakari as curator, since he was in the CEECKIA Sector at the moment. Thanks to the Club registration to UC Institution, many CMDRs that were in the area in that period, converged to the CEECKIA Sector. CMDR Akira Masakari was passing an extend period of time in the Sector surveying it, and could meet three CMDRs in a day. Route Plots and scientific data has been exchanged, and also long range docking trainings took place, with CMDRs Alot, Eryn Liamson, Finwen. 25th October 3301 has probably been the most crowded day for the CHEECKIA Sector. Details can be found here.
November 3301
- In the beginning of November 3301 CMDR Alot concluded the fastest known expedition to the Far Rim. His route Sol > Myeia Thaa JI-B D13-0 > Sol consists in about 150,000LY and has been covered in 20 days, 22 hours and 53 minutes. Differently from the early Pioneers, CMDR Alot could use the advantage of the 1.1 Route Plotter Computer, but he paid a tribute to those early Pioneers visiting every Historical and Geographical POI present in this thread, including the-very-difficult-to-navigate Treehouse. That made his expedition not a pure race, but a very meaningfull experience for historical and scientifical aspects. Details can be found here.
- CMDR Arrakaij is the first Fuel Rat that brought fuel limpets over the 65K. No Rat Call has been made, but he sacrified jumprange in order to be possibly helpfull to others. Even with fuel limpets, he broke the record for max distance from Sol in an ASP class vessel. This is the confirmation that Fuel Rats can reach every corner of the Milky Way, and everyone is relieved in knowing this.
December 3301
- 14th December 3301: jump-boost synthesis technology has been made public, and that changed the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM DISTANCE FROM SOL RECORD RULE. Few weeks later intrepid, and little lunatic CMDRs are rumored to have reached Beagle Point. The confirmed ufficial contact has been made by CMDR Allitnil on 21st December. He gave proof that he departed from Beagle 2 Landing Station in Asellus Primus system and jumped in Beagle Point, covering a 70,000LY route in 40 hours, 36 minutes real time (including sleep and feeding). What will happen next, we will know in due time, and it seems that time will be soon, despite the introduction of the new rules.
January 3302
- In the beginning of January 3302, CMDR Flector registered the furthest visited system from Sol to Universal Cartographic Institution. The systen name is OEVAXY IG-Y D0 and is situated a staggering 65,627.06 LY from SOL. This mark the end of a race started to report the furthest system after the Fuel Injection Technology has been made available to the general public. Another famous explorer and record breacker, CMDR Allitnil, was beaten fro this record for a mere few days, and fairly accepted Flector results as a gentleman, also confirming that OEVAXY IG-Y D0 is the furthest system reacheable with current technology.
- 14th January 3302 the Distant World Expedition, counting 1000 ships incribed alongside with their crew, departed. This is relevant to the club since the purpose of the expedition is bringing all these CMDRs to Beagle Point, not before having deeply explored all the route in between.
