Astrogation / Navicomputer

From TFC Galactopedia

Arguably the most important component of a hyperdrive starship's computer system, the astronomical navigation computer, commonly shortened to Astrogation or Navicomp, allows the starship to move around hyperspace without colliding with stellar, planetary, or other dangerous celestial bodies. This is of obvious importance, as collision with the mass shadow of an object while in hyperspace will destroy even the mightiest space vessels. The astrogation computer relies heavily on the system's Navigational Databank and is typically linked to sophisticated gravity sensors designed to large mass shadows in hyperspace and cut out the hyperdrive in order to prevent catastrophic collisions.
