Sector

A sector was an area of space or land framed by an artificial, conventional boundary. Sectors, unlike systems, were defined by political boundaries rather than physical ones.

A planetary sector contained a number of solar systems, and were regional political divisions of an area of space. In the Apocalypso! series, there were six primary sectors, including the Sinntaral Sector.

Specific surface areas of a planetary body could also be partitioned into sectors. Cordelia Prime was divided into 27 sectors, with the capital city Courtire being located in Sector One.
