A Sector is a astrophysical co-ordinate system applied to Charted Space.
- A sector is part of a Domain within the Imperium, and contains subsectors.
Description (Specifications)
Mapping unit in astrography equal to sixteen subsectors.
- Typical density 350 to 650 worlds per sector.
Sectors are named, and several synonyms are in common use, including:
- march (or marches),
- region,
- reach (or reaches),
- quadrant, and
- matrix.
e.g. The Spinward Marches, for example, is a sector.
Charted Space Overview
As a rough means of comparing size, the sector counts of the large interstellar states and areas of settlement are:
Sectors of the Major Races in Charted Space Polity (Government) Society (People) Sectors Remarks Third Imperium Imperial & Vilani 19 None Aslan Hierate Aslan 15 None Hive Federation Hiver 11 None Two Thousand Worlds K'kree 09 None Vargr Extents Vargr 09 None Zhodani Consulate Zhodani Humaniti 08 None Solomani Confederation Solomani Humaniti 05 None Droyne Oytrip Yatroy Droyne Interspersed None
Notes:
- Several sectors are known by other names (by non-imperial races). Strangely enough they use the same co-ordinate system.
- The earliest known use of the term sector was among the Vilani, who used a slightly smaller 'parsec', compared to the current, Solomani-derived parsec.
- The library refers to all sectors with the word Sector, thus Riftspan Reaches, or Dark Nebula are known as Riftspan Reaches Sector or Dark Nebula Sector in Library Entries even though the former name is used in normal discussion.
Please see Sector Map and Sectors for an alphabetical listing of all sectors, and alien toponyms (names) for those sectors.
Charted Space Table
The following table lists the Sectors near the Imperium; see articles on the other empires for sectors in their Domains, and Subsector Map for a map of allegiances by subsector.
The following key helps to explain the Charted Space Table:
- Red (Pink) Sectors are Mostly Imperial-Controlled
- Yellow Aslan
- Green Vargr
- Purple Hiver
- Orange Solomani
- Blue Zhodani
- Clear (Balkanized Space) [No major polity and/or dominant polity]
