Stellar Density refers to the number of stellar systems contained within a specified volume of space, usually within a Sector.
- In this case, it's the density of Charted Space.
Please see the following AAB Library Data articles for related information:

- Astrography: (Physical Astrography)
- Stellar Density
- System Density
Description (Specifications)
The average density in the spiral arms is 500 to 650 systems per sector, which works out to 40-50%. Overall galactic stellar density remains lower than that of individual spiral arms. Galactic stellar densities are affected by astronomic morphology and non-spiral galaxies often hold much different make-ups. A number of other factors may affect galactic stellar density. Rifts or void areas have a very low density of stars, not a complete absence.
Charted Space Sector Density
This map shows the stellar density of each sector in Charted Space.
- There is also a stellar density map by subsector over the Imperium.
