Greetings fellow CMDR's,
I have just finished a one-month exploration trip covering Bubble -> SagA* -> Beagle/Semotus -> SagA* -> Colonia.
Besides visiting these landmarks (which was a really fun and thrilling experience), I also wanted to visit one spot in the galaxy nobody has given any notice - until now:
There is only one "quadripoint" in the ED galaxy where four galactic regions meet: Izanami / Newton's Vault / Arcadian Stream / Ryker's Hope
Since there exists a "Four corners monument"
in the United States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Corners_Monument
and in Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_corners_(Canada)
and also in Great Britain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Man%27s_Heath,_Warwickshire
I wanted to find this unique location in ED, too
When I got to the target area I catalogued several star systems to discover that there is no "cross-shaped" border between the four regions, but that there are two "3-region-confluences" about 50ly apart from each other. Newton's Vault and Ryker's Hope share a common border, while Izanami and Arcadian Stream do not touch each other. I have drawn a schematic to illustrate the situation:
From the coordinates of these two confluence points: [3509 / 0 / 39901] and [3559 / 0 / 39901]
I calculated that a star system located near [3534 / 0 / 39901] being as close to the galactic pane as possible, must be in minimum distance to all four regions.
Luckily, there is one system nearly exactly on these coordinates, only -13,7 below the galactic pane:
PLOEA AUSCS ZA-A c16 [3534.4375 / -13.6875 / 39901.0625] https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/44943407/name/Ploea+Auscs+ZA-A+c16
The system is located at the very edge of Ryker's Hope region, you can reach the three other sectors via a short <30ly jump:
Newton's Vault = Ploea Auscs AC-A b6 (6,98 ly)
Arcadian Stream = Ploea Auscs NA-A d110 (27,94 ly)
Izanami = Ploea Auscs YB-A b8 (29,80 ly)
I therefore nominate PLOEA AUSCS ZA-A c16 as the true location for a Four Corners Monument in the ED galaxy waypoint
and want to propose that sometime Frontier Developments honors this unique spot with a tourist beacon / base / megaship.
(October 16th, 3305)
If you want to visit this system, there is a nice giant crater on the innermost moon (A 1 A) for landing.
Other interesting facts:
Distance to Sol: ~40k ly (40057 ly)
The nearby system Ploea Auscs AB-A c16 (29,8ly) is an EDSM "green" system, it contains all necessary ingredients for jumponium FSD injections.
