The Course Sector is considered to be a part of the Distant Fringe. It forms a part of the Empty Stars.

The settled spinward edge of Course Sector is a part of the Demon Cluster, the Distant Fringe: the rest of the sector is largely unexplored wilderness. The positions and types of its stars have been cataloged as part of the University of Tal Varisa Deep Sky Program.
