These timetable codes are used on timetables to indicate a point in space other than a planet, which a Temple ship might make a jump to. They are allocated sequentially, starting with ZZZ, ZZY, ZZX, ... ZZB, ZZA, ZYZ, ZYY ... and so on. So far, they have reached ZTR, so it should be assumed that all codes after this in the alphabet have been used.

Some of these codes can be visited by anyone who gets advance permission (such as a scientist wanting to take deep space measurements). Some, traditionally shown on timetables in lower case, are restricted to high-ranking church officials only. It is widely believed that these are meetings of the Grand Synods, forcing all normal people off the ships before they travel there in order to keep the priests safe.

Any which are documented should go in this table:

Object Type Code Name (if any) Date (if any)
Deep Space ZZZ The first meeting of the Temple Grand Synod
Derelict zzf The remains of the Temple ship Joel
Star ZYR An uninhabited system sometimes used for wargames under the Allentria Duelling Code
Veiled Planet zyn Earth (its presence kept secret from all outside the Hierarchs)
Comet ZVI Nibiru (now officially a planet) <date>1462</date>
Asteroid ZUC TNK-2053-n4
Deep Space zua Location of the Revelation time loop
Asteroid ztr Scheduled venue for a meeting of the Temple Grand Synod <date>Neovembar 842</date>

<ooc>The crew of the Nemesis have path coordinates which allow them to reach points between ZZZ and ZXX; special designations assigned after this aren't available.</ooc>
