Euclid is the first galaxy in the No Man's Sky universe.

Summary[edit | edit source]

Euclid is the 1st galaxy in the No Man's Sky universe.

The Fade and Galaxy Centre are fundamental parts of every galaxy. In Euclid, the centre appears to be white.

This galaxy can be reached by:

Warp travel - Players start here with a crashed ship after reaching the centre of the Iousongola galaxy.
Simulation reset - Players in the Tuhgrespod and Iousongola galaxies, who choose to reset the simulation into a Norm galaxy during the New Beginnings primary mission, will start again in this galaxy.

All players initially spawn on a randomly chosen planet within this galaxy.

Based on studies done by the Forgotten Colonies, the Euclid galaxy follows a symmetrical build. Its length and width both end at 819.000ly from the centre with the last systems in a radius of roughly 500ly being "unreachable" before they fade out. This anomaly is referred to as The Fade.

The galaxy is circular with four non-rotating spirals in wedge-shape at 45°,135°,225° and 315° respectively. Euclid is definitely not a sphere, but is build after its real world counterpart like a plate. This also explains why a further multiplier of 16 for the glyph sequence is not needed, it lacks exactly that detail in height.

Due to the glyph system a rough estimate of all regions can be calculated. The formula is the glyph region ID combinations minus the centre sphere combinations:

16^8-7^8 = ~4.29 billion regions.

The closest documented stars include:

Tolik home (2955 ly) in Jibagator Anomaly
EndOfTheLine XVII (2956 ly) in Neycaja Conflux
Sleepwalker's 748 (2994 ly) in Zeiseu

The furthest documented stars include:

The Outer Edge (1.159.210 ly) in Awilso Instability.
EOK5-00F9 Gaduchan (1.159.137 ly) in Thoslo Quadrant.
Delta Minoris (1.159.051 ly) in Rabirgi Boundary.

Since it's the starting galaxy of every player, a large majority of player-created civilizations are bound to this galaxy.

Region categories[edit | edit source]

Regions can be categorised by the prefix or suffix added to the procedurally generated name (∗ marks its location). Names without prefix or suffix can also appear, it is currently unknown if this is a bug or not.
