This is my new favorite direction.
Galactic North
Galactic East
Galactic South
Galactic West
Galactic Upth
Galactic Downst
The Six Major Axes of the Galaxy, based on the center of the galaxy, and oriented so that the cardinal directions are along the disc of the galaxy, Galactic North pointing towards the direction of universal expansion. Which of the two remaining directions was Upth and which was Downst was heavily debated, and to this day there is still disagreement, however it's generally accepted by most that Galactic Upth is the direction where, if using G.North as the reference point's up, G.East is on the right of the point of reference.
Not to be confused with Universal Norst, Universal Eath, Universal Soust, Universal Weth, Universal Upst, and Universal Downth, which are based on the scientifically theorized center of the universe, and you don't even want to get into which direction is which and why.
