    Quadrants never made sense to be. Wouldn’t you want to with octants - having the center of the galaxy being the dividing point?

      Yeah I don’t see why you would want some random arm of the spiral to be the dividing point.

      But quadrants still make sense though.

          Yeah I was thinking a spiral galaxy such as ours, split it into quadrants. There’s some level of depth there, but still relatively “flat”

          Still doesn’t quite match up with OPs pic, which might be canon?
