       Name: K%                                                      [Show more]
       Type: Workspace
    Address: &0900 to &0ABB
   Category: Workspaces
    Summary: Ship data blocks and ship line heaps
  Deep dive: Ship data blocks
             The local bubble of universe

    Context: See this workspace in context in the source code
 Variations: See code variations for this workspace in the different versions
 References: This workspace is used as follows:
             * SPS3 uses K%
             * UNIV uses K%




 Contains ship data for all the ships, planets, suns and space stations in our
 local bubble of universe, along with their corresponding ship line heaps.

 The blocks are pointed to by the lookup table at location UNIV. The first 444
 bytes of the K% workspace hold ship data on up to 12 ships, with 37 (NI%)
 bytes per ship, and the ship line heap grows downwards from WP at the end of
 the K% workspace.

 See the deep dive on "Ship data blocks" for details on ship data blocks, and
 the deep dive on "The local bubble of universe" for details of how Elite
 stores the local universe in K%, FRIN and UNIV.
