@elite-dangerous-almanac/core / astro / CodexRegion

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:89

A single Elite Dangerous galactic codex region.

Footprint fields (CodexRegion.areaLy2, CodexRegion.bounds, CodexRegion.centroid) are approximations derived from the ≈49.35 ly region grid, not survey-precise figures.

import { getCodexRegionByName } from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/astro/codex-region';
import type { CodexRegion } from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/astro/codex-region';

const innerOrionSpur: CodexRegion | null = getCodexRegionByName('Inner Orion Spur');

readonly areaLy2: number

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:107

Approximate footprint area on the galactic plane, in square light-years.

readonly bounds: CodexRegionBounds

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:109

Axis-aligned bounds on the galactic plane, in light-years.

readonly cellCount: number

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:105

Number of grid cells the region occupies (each cell ≈49.35 ly square).

readonly centroid: GalacticPlanePosition

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:111

Cell-weighted centroid on the galactic plane, in light-years.

readonly grayscale: number

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:103

Grayscale value this region has in the upstream RegionMap.png (0xA8 for region 1, decreasing by 4 per id). Useful when cross-referencing the source image.

readonly id: number

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:91

Region id, 1–42. Stable across releases; matches the codex region ordering.

readonly name: string

Defined in: src/astro/codex-region.ts:97

Human-readable region name, e.g. "Inner Orion Spur". This is the canonical English name. For a player's own language, pass the id to getCodexRegionName in i18n/codex-regions, which reads a separate catalogue.
