Wormhole connections

Bookmarks for connections into wormhole space use this format:

[NUMBER] [SIGNATURE] [CLASS]

The parts

• Number — the hole's path number. Within any system, holes are numbered sequentially, and each one extends its parent's number: home's holes are 1, 2, 3; the holes inside the 2 are 21, 22, 23; the holes inside the 28 are 281, 282, 283. The number is therefore both a unique handle and the route to the hole.
• Signature — the signature letters only, no numbers (e.g. ABC).
• Class — the wormhole class of the destination, e.g. C3, C5.

The return hole

The hole you came in through is named with just a * and the number:

*[NUMBER]

This makes it instantly clear which hole you're currently sitting next to, even in a freshly-scanned system with no other connections yet.

Examples

*1
11 ABC C3
12 XYZ C5
13 DEF C2
14 NS QWE 1DQ1-A Delve

This is the bookmark list inside the 1: *1 is the return hole back the way you came, and 11–14 are the holes leading deeper, each extending the 1. Notice the last line — a connection out to known space keeps its path number and then follows the K-Space format — number, class, signature, system, region.

You rarely type these by hand — the mapper builds them for you. See Let the mapper name it.

Prefer letters to numbers? A manager can switch the whole map to an alternative alias convention.
