TUCC/SLSC

TUCCs, or THEMUS Universal Catalog Codes, are the most absolute means of locating a galaxy (and through that, a system) within the THEMUS Universe. They supersede the previous system, SLS (Standard Location System). SLS was implememented after the Third Great Colonial Wave, towards the end of the Dukian empire. TUCC was Implemented after the Fourth Great Colonial Wave. The system designates galaxies by 4 levels:

Strands- Designated by order colonized. Coordinates derived from triangulation of uGates

Branches- Second largest level. Strands split into smaller branches

Filaments- Third Largest level. Branches split urther into filaments

Clusters- Basic component of Filaments, simply groups of galaxies __INDEX__
