  Creating A Sector Map

  Sector Mapping 
   Star Systems are mapped on Sector grids to allow long range 
  analysis and for astrogation by travellers. 
   
   
   
   
  THE SECTOR MAP 
   A sector map shows the 
  general presence of star 
  systems and mainworlds across 
  a large region of space. 
   The first step in mapping a 
  large region is to populate a 
  blank sector map with system 
  hexes (which contain star 
  systems) and deep space 
  hexes (which are purportedly or 
  generally known to be empty). 
   
   The Sector Map is an 
  overview: just enough data to 
  support long range astrogation 
  (some printed or high-resolution 
  maps show more). 
   The Sector Map shows: 
   A. It shows the presence or 
  absence of systems. 
   B. It shows the presence or 
  absence of gas giants (to 
  support refueling). 
   
   
   
   
   
  POPULATING THE SECTOR MAP 
   Determine (select) the overall map 
  density and note any regions of greater 
  or lesser density. 
   For each hex, roll on the table and 
  mark the symbols.

  ASTEROIDS 
   Mark one system in 36 as an 
  Asteroid Belt. 
   Method One. Roll 2D for each 
  system. A roll of 2 = Asteroid Belt. 
   Method Two. Count off every 36th 
  system and mark it as Asteroid Belt.
