Navigation computer/Legends


 * "Traveling through hyperspace isn't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"
 * &mdash; Han Solo

A navigation computer, also known as an astrogation computer, navicomputer, or nav computer, was a device that made the careful calculations necessary to navigate through hyperspace. Most starships carried a nav computer of some sort, though some starfighters made due with only an astromech droid. Smaller ships often possessed limited nav computers, capable of containing data for only a small number of jumps; larger ships had large dedicated nav computers capable of storing coordinates for nearly any foreseeable destination.
