===Relative Bearing===
[[Image:Relative Bearings.jpg |thumb| Example of Relative Bearings]]
This is direction in reference to your ship. Bearing angles are always relative to the longitudinal axis of the ship, and are a full 360 degrees; this is the same both in turn and pitch. Both pitch and bank begins at 360 (This is commonly ordered as 0 to indicate no directional change). Unless specifically ordered, all directional changes whether to left are right are implied to be at the pilots discretion. In such, a general practice is the turn direction requiring the least amount of correction will be used. For example, all bearing angles 1–180 degrees mean right turns (or pitch up), while angles 181–359 degrees are left turns (or pitch down).
===Course/Heading===

“Course” or “Heading” both have the same meaning: The angle between the ship’s track and the straight line to the core of the galaxy. The course is the principal information necessary for the helm officer to a navigate to a distant point. However caution is necessary when using this data. The reason is that since the [[galaxy]] is disc shaped, the lines to the core are not parallel but converging. This means that during long trips on a given course the ship’s track will be curved.
