How do you locate a place in the Disp? It's a big ring full of millions of asteroids... Degrees and orbit. Everything is traveling the same direction at least. So if you're at 45 degrees relative to some solar meridian, and wanted to go somewhere at 42 degrees, you would say 3 degrees up orbit.
Up and down are relative to the ecliptic (but which is which? up is stellar North, obviously), in and out are obvious, and my memories are pushing for turnwards & widdershins (that has to be from an earlier renewal though)
