First appearance: A New Hope![]() | |
A navigator, also known as an astrogator, was a person who navigated starships.Aboard starships, the navigator was responsible for plotting a vessel's course through hyperspace with or - in rare cases - without the aid of a navigation computer. Calculating routes took a varied amount of time depending on the difficulty of the hyperspace jump; well-travelled routes and pre-calculated coordinates took moments, while calculating the coordinates from scratch could take several hours. More difficult journies, such as attempting to calculate a jump from a position where the navigator had to take readings to verify the ship's position, could take days. | |
