SUMMARY
The Milky Way's central supermassive black hole.	→	The Milky Way's central supermassive black hole.
DESCRIPTION
Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. The first Commander who made a successful voyage to the system and back was CMDR Zulu Romeo, near the end of the year 3300. Since then, the Centre has become a popular destination for explorers, who have visited it by the tens of thousands. In addition to singular pilots making the voyage on their own, Sagittarius A* has also been a popular waypoint for groups of explorers as well, such as the first Distant Worlds expedition, or for racers, such as the Buckyball Racing Club. In 3305, a small community sprung up in the area around Sagittarius A, with some research installations and a station called Explorer's Anchorage* built in the nearby [Stuemeae FG-Y d7561](https://edastro.com/poi/system/Stuemeae%20FG-Y%20d7561) system, during the Distant Worlds 2 initiative. ![](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1042696170092380160/1068754162269036624/HResSS_04-40-28.png?width=1201&height=676) Source 2, the only star orbiting Sag A 106,000 ls from the Supermassive Black Hole - Astrophotography by CMDR dkO It's also worth noting that the [G2 Dust Cloud](https://edastro.com/poi/system/G2%20Dust%20Cloud%20Sector%20JH-V%20c2-2851) survived an encounter with Sagittarius A* millenia ago, and moved on on its journey through the galaxy. Today, explorers can find it 2,000 ly away from the centre.	→	Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.
