 :''Note: You can always tell how “Deep” a DG is by the first number in its name. In the example I gave above, DG 1.234, the DG would be 1 level deep and then have a final level, which holds the Boss. Please note that the [[Danger Factor]] (DF) of the Galaxy you find the DG in goes up by 10 with each level of depth of the DG. So if you find DG 3.464 in a Galaxy which is a natural DF of 150, the first level of the DG will be DF 160, the second level of the DG will be 170, and so on until the final level.''
-Upon entering a DG you will be promptly attacked by random AI. What determines the type of AI is the Danger Factor of the Galaxy, the Galaxies location, and a number of other factors not yet known. You will find that as you kill the AI they drop [[Neural Keysyncs]]. KeySyncs are exactly what their name implies: Keys. You keep them in your ship until you kill all the AIs needed and then use the gate to warp down to the next level of the DG. You cannot warp down without having a certain number of keys.

-:''Note: It is highly recommended to drop half the total keys of each level before you go down because if you must retreat, you can always go back up a level, let your Shields and Energy regenerate, and then head back down again without having to change DG or wait for it to respawn itself.''
+When you hit the last “Boss” level of a Dungeon Galaxy, you will find something different. As usual the mobs of AI will attack you immediately, but there will also be another, usually different type of AI with a higher level, called a “DG Boss”. They are usually far stronger than any of the normal AI in the DG and they are also usually the point of doing the DG in the first place. These bosses, upon being killed, will drop one or two “DG Item’s”, which can range in variety from Specialization Augmenters to extremely valuable items, such as the shields 'Give and Take' or 'MisDirection', or weapons such as 'Death Warmed Over' or 'Liposuction'. What determines your drop is the [[Danger factor]] (DF) of the Boss Level, and possibly some other unknown factors.
 Now that we have some General Knowledge of what a “DG” is, lets look at some tactics and statistics to help you along your way.
