Distances

deadlock

SOC-13
How does one figure out the distances between star systems? Or at least tell me what page(s) to reference in the rule book?

Thank you.
 
in the Star List: find the X, Y and Z for both stars.

find the differences between system 1 and 2 for each of X, Y, and Z

Square the differences.

Sum the squares.

Square root the sum of squares.

D= ((Xa-Xb)2 + (Ya-Yb)2 + (Za-Zb)2)0.5
where
D = distance in LY
Xa = system A's X coordinate
Xb = system B's X coordinate
Ya = system A's Y coordinate
Yb = system B's Y coordinate
Za = system A's Z coordinate
Zb = system B's Z coordinate

I'm too lazy to look up page references right now.
