Sector Arrangement

Just thinking about sectors yesterday (was flooding and couldn't leave the house).

They indeed can be mapped out in a 2d arrangemnt that makes sense with the 'majority' of listed sectors and political boundaries.

As well the Starbases, atleast to begin with were matched up with their respective sectors. But delving to far into the higer numbers soon puts that out of whack.

So the Trek production crew/writers had at least a vague idea where all the sectors are.
And the 20000+ sectors really aren't that far away; out to around 1500 ly.

Will me mapping this out soon, feedback please!

Still with SB they most likely are named as built (number) in the upper end.

Where did you get this map? I want . . . I want . . .

I'd love a copy as well if you please?

Thanx in advance

Me too!!!

Thanks in Advance,

Sounds just like the zesty kind of maps we like here in...ALBUQUERQUE!

CAn I get one? Please?

Me too please. Thanks!

SIG,

Looks like you have your work cut out for you. Hopefully we'll be drooling over your maps. You seem to have gone about building your map in a methodical fashion. Can't wait to see it!

Also, thanks for visiting my webpage. I hope it didn't take too long to download the trek files. Geocities can be a pain sometimes.

You can send me a copy too. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

Looks like i'll join the band wagon, Me too?

Thanks karg

Indeed Gentleman & Ladies?

Although the maps as such exists only as scrawl on a scrap of paper as a plot of sector numbers.

When I do add this detail to a map on the 'puter, I shall email all who asked.

But if you want to check for youreslf, try this.

:10:11:12:13
:09:02:03:14
:08:01:04:15
:07:06:05:16
:20:19:18:17

etc. Where the corner of sectors 1,4,5,6 is where Sol is only just into sector 001.

Thus the alpha/beta line is the borders of:
11:12/2:3/1:4/6:5/19:18 etc.

And thus by this:

Sol - Sector 001
Alpha Centauri - Sector 004
Andor - ? I believe Sector 004 (haven't plotted yet)
Vulcan - Sector 005
Tellar - Sector 008, maybe 007 have to check.

Of course this assumes that:

Andor = Epsilon Indi
Vulcan = 40 Eridani
Tellar = 61 Cygni

Stay tuned, more with!

So far the only sector giving me major grief is sector 97, which by this scale puts it out on the rom/kling border.

The problem? Sector 97 is where the Black cluster is, and the Breen have a few outposts in the area.

The solution?

1) Ignore it for a more logical number like 87 (near alpha/beta border, around rommie space).

2) Treat it as a far flung outpost with the likes of the Breen outpost in the badlands.

3) Maybe in 3d the Breen are over that way? Leads credibility to the Klingon attack of legend (2nd dynasty?)

Most other sectors are round about right. Although by this arrangment, carddie space goes from around 507 to 21500; some 1000 ly. And the 20000+ sectors are 'generally' around the DMZ.

Sector 507 is from Treachery,Faith,Rivers. Where Odo meeets the defecting Weyoun. Now since Odo came from the station and they went to some moon, Im guessing near the badlands (logical, plus the speed of a runabout).

Thus by this reasoning; Cardassia/most of the Badlands is in sector 507, and Bajor is 506.

Still that would put the DMZ some 1500 ly from earth rim/spin

Sign m eup for the map too, SIR SIG. Also, I believe you are using the chi factor (129.72 or somesuch) in your calculations, right?

Well its an option, but atleast something that effects warp travel like Voyager's 'Warp Sandbar' for instance. It stands to reason that there is also a Warp tidalwave.

Okay, version 1 of the small sectors map has gone out today for all of the above people who asked.

This has about an 80-100 ly radius from Sol.

Not finished yet but I wanted to get it out the door for comment.

Okay now heres the errata.

StatBases are in willy nilly positions unless there is an actual location mentioned. SB up into the 10's are relevant with their sector and would make sense in the early days.

Most but not all sectors work with this 2d arrangement. So to make it a pleasing thing to look at, I've modified some sector names to a more relevant number assuming that they were originally misspelt or such.
eg. Sector 3-0 and 3-1 to 30 and 31 respectively
eg. Sector 23 to 32 since it has the RNZ nearbye and wouldn't work in its previous position.

(All in all theres only about 6 sectors that need changing, and that represents no more then a 1/3 of whats there.)

SB4 is at Triarcus which by the old STMAPS is Andor.

Assuming:
Vulcan = 40 Eridani
Andor = Epsilon Indi
Tellar = 61 Cygni

Other then that I didn't have enough info at hand to put in any more well known stars within that area for comparison.

Lastly make any comments/questions etc. here and I'll do my best to answer.

So far looks good, SIG. Thanks!

Hope you've got yourself a boat; much more rain and Australia's going the way of Atlantis, looks like.

Acceptable? Perhaps with more stars obviously and colour coded as well. Alot of the mentioned stars are actually neutral and not federation.

Rain? ARGH! The farm's barely walkable as it!

Yeh it was some kind of transient error and said it would keep trying, but I was just making sure! http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gif

And yes the sectors are 20 ly x 20 ly!

Also since this square area/2d sector arrangement seems to work in the most part. Then the 8000 ly ref. could be a square area as well.

4000 ly across spin to trailing
2000 ly core to rim

Between Deneb and Rigel you pretty much have 4000 ly. And Antares to ? atleast nets you 500+ ly.

On the way Sir!

The second map of about 400-500 ly radius including Bajor and such will probably be another week yet. I'll post that to all who've asked.

Then the big map of 2000 ly radius will hopefully be a week after that!

Stay tuned!

Will these maps be appearing on any websites?

JT and Copernicus, your copys are away.

Keep in mind the maps I do send are V.1 with a decent bit of detail for comment.

When I get them snazzy enough for V.2 'The Completed Copies' then everyone on this list will get them all.

V.2 could be up to a month away though.

Eventually they'll get posted on my webpage, once I sought it out a little better.

Your map sounds interesting. I'm always looking for a good Trek map. Please send me a copy. Thanks!

Its out Khyber, you'll get it soon!

Anyone care to know my take on this sort of thing? I assume Sol is at the center of Sector 001, or should that be 0-0-1?. All 26 adjacent sectors are named after constellations. Vulcan Sector is also called Vulcan Sector. Other adjacents might have multiple names as well.

??? I don't quite get you Cochrane.

If Sol was in the middle of sector 001, how would you explain the alpha/beta quadrant borderline that supposedly goes through Sol?

As to the adjacent sectors and constellations? I really don't get unless you mean the constellations from a Earth perspective that the Centaurus Constellation is near Scorpius/Sagitarius (Galactic centre) and opposite of that is rimward?
