I’ve
noticed some fans wanted to know more about the time it takes to get around the galaxy
so here is something that might help:

GALACTIC COORDINATES:
Coruscant is at 0, 0, 0. The system is not at the galactic center and is
above the galactic ecliptic. The coordinates are measured in units of
15 parsecs (roughly 49 light years). A standard navicomputer tracks
these coordinated to hundreds of decimal places when calculating or
verifying a hyperspace course.

HYPERSPACE ROUTES:
• In
the Old Republic era, hyperspace beacons contain current information
regarding hazards and obstacles along a route. A navicomputer is used to
interpret the information and plot a course.

• In
the Rise of the Empire era and later, the holonet is used to update
navicomputers which maintain a database of known routes. Downloading
updates to the database is a standard docking procedure at many ports. [x]:

A typical journey between two
regions of the galaxy (or between two systems within the same region) takes a
certain number of hours. This base travel time can be modified by as many as
three factors, each of which is discussed below:

Hyperdrive Quality:
The base travel time given on the table assumes the use of a standard hyperdrive
with a x1 multiplier. Faster hyperdrives (x0.5, for example) reduce the travel
time accordingly, and slower hyperdrives (x2 or x5, for example) increase travel
time.

Location of Destination:
If the destination of the journey is in the same region as
the starting point, or if the destination is in the same quadrant of the galaxy
as the starting point, the travel time is halved. Travel time is cut in half for
any journey from one place to another place in the same quadrant, even if the
two locations are in different regions. [x]
