The Constellation of Kasterborus is located at the center of the Mutter's Stellian (or Stellarian) Spiral Galaxy (aka the Milky Way, or Galaxia Kyklos) on the edge of the Capricorn Tract. This is as close to the center of the galaxy as its possible to be without drawn into the black hole. In this area of space stars would be clustered so tightly that they would only be about 1/10th of a lightyear apart. Gallifrey would have been located within the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex. This also happens to be almost the center of Universe (so very near the Terminus Timestation). The Kasterborus Constellation is probably in the Sagittarius Constellation (center of the Galaxy) in the Earth skies. During the Rassilon Era Gallifrey is 29,000 light years from Sol III. However by the time of the Humanian Era the planet is 250,000,000 light years away in another galaxy (it was probably moved there during the Time War or perhaps it was the only Gallifrey cloneworld to physically survive the Time War). During the Rassilon Era its binary coordinates are 10-0-11-0-0 by 02 from galactic 0 center. The Nebula of Cyclops is near enough to Gallifrey to be faintly visible. Gallifrey is in the seventh system at the heart of the Home Constellation (a Gallifreyan "constellation" refers to elements of time/relativity/location) - which is known to the lesser species as the Minyan constellation of Kasterborus (also known as the Kasterborus Sector). It is named for an astrologist who also wrote Our Destiny is in the Stars. Later myths will claim that the gods yolked the astrologist to a chariot of silver fire. His beliefs have infiltrated the cultures of the Delphons, Phreni, and Sirians. There are a total of 17 stars in the constellation of Kasterborus. The Kasterborus Ice Ring, and Kasterborus Borealis are in the same sector as Gallifrey's system. There are a total of 17 stars in the constellation of Kasterborus. It is possible that Kastria (the homeworld of the silicon based time aware Kastrians) and Kastor Major (the homeworld of a tortalitarian government) are located in this sector. It is also possible that the Kastron scientists from Mawdryn Undead might have come from this sector. The other systems of the Kasterborus sector have no significant populations. One of the stars on the outer edge of the constellation is a red giant which contains the storm belt (filled with ruined spaceships). Gallifrey's Dominions include several planets that would be valuable if mined (Could they contain Taranium?) The center of most of the galaxy’s trade routes pass relatively near Gallifrey. This is where most of the more powerful civilizations in the cosmos can be found. Time Lord traffic control monitor any vessels that pass near Gallifrey's space-time location. Space vessel must request permission to pass through Gallifrey's space-time.
