+# System Security
+
+You can find the security status of any solar system in [SDE](../services/static-data/index.md)'s `mapSolarSystems.jsonl` file.
+It is under the `securityStatus` field, which is a floating point value given with full precision, usually 6 decimal places.
+
+Not to be confused with the `securityClass` field, which is a string value with unknown meaning.
+
+In-game, the security status (also known as security level) is shown with 1 decimal place precision, from -1.0 to 1.0. In the SDE, it is given with full precision and needs to be rounded to 1 decimal place to match the in-game display.
+
+## Rounding
+
+Security status rounding follows normal rounding rules, with one exception:
+if the security status is in the range $0.0 < x < 0.05$, it is rounded to 0.1, instead of 0.0. In other words, if the security status is positive, however slightly, the rounded result will always be at least 0.1.
+
+<h3>Example</h3>
+
+--8<-- "snippets/formulae/security-status-rounding.md"
+
+## Security Class
+
+Various game mechanics rely on the security class of a system, which can be one of the following:
+
+- High Security (high-sec), where the security status is $x ≥ 0.45$, or the rounded security status is $x ≥ 0.5$
+- Low Security (low-sec), where the security status is $0.0 < x < 0.45$, or the rounded security status is $0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.4$
+- Null Security (null-sec), where the security status is $x ≤ 0.0$, or the rounded security status is $x ≤ 0.0$

+
+## Security Status Colors
+
+In-game, the security status is often colored according to the following table:
+
+| Color                                                | Color hex code | Security status |
