Greater Mains (Yellow)

  • Star systems on long (50 or more stars) mains.
  • Most multi-sector and single-sector mains are greater mains.
  • High economic and trade activity (interstellar traffic).

Lesser Mains (Blue)

  • Star systems on short (10 - 50 stars) mains.
  • Many subsector mains are lesser mains.
  • Moderate economic and trade activity (interstellar traffic).

Arms, Branches, Traces, Clusters & Others (Green)

  • Star systems with few if any significant connections to any main.
  • May be subsets of larger mains.
  • Most of these astrographic features are located in just one or two subsectors.
