I have a question: how are the sectors divided up? Are they in some sort of square grid or is it split up into wedges, kinda like a pie would be? Second: How big are these sections? I mean the next closet star is Proxima, and thats over 4 light years away. And the closest star with known planets is ESP Eri, and thats 10ly away. And what sectors are where? Third: How fast do ships travel? You said that they travel near light speed in a cruse lane, but that means it would take almost two weeks to get from Earth to Pluto. How fast does a ship travel when "Jumping" through a worm hole? |

Sector shape and division is set up as a 3 dimensional chunk of space. the borders are constanty changing with each sector through trade and Dominion sanctions, so they aren't at all cube shaped or pie shaped. Think of the States, or the countries of Europe, they're all oddly shaped. Sectors vary in size, the "Fringe" sector actually surrounds the entire dominion. You have a good point on Ship travel, it doesn't seem reasonable that a ship would take 2 weeks to cross a solar system, I believe I set it last time as the average boat at top speed on normal drives could cross our solar system in a week, and, if locked into a cruise lane, could cross the Milky Way in a month. Jumping through wormholes is near instantaneous, and most large space-gates make use of wormhole tech, but it requires a large star or similar power source nearby, as it takes quite a bit of power to open up a wormhole. |

<_< Yikes. Seems I moved this post into the Archives without intending too, sorry that it disappeared. Shall we continue discussion of the Black Star universe? |
