Billions of stars form a brilliant, pinwheel galaxy that is more than 100,000 light-years in diameter. The galaxy is divided into three classifications: regions, sectors, and systems. There are five regions. They are the deep core, core worlds, mid rim, outer rim, and wild space. These regions are divided into sectors. There are eight sectors, which are the kathol sector, elrood sector, senex juvex sector, bothan space, hutt space, koornacht cluster, meridian sector, tion cluster, and corporate sector. These sectors are then divided into systems. Systems are groups of planets around a single star. Only a fraction of these planets support life.  |

Looks alright, but where did you get your information on sectors from? I ask because there are alot more than 8 sectors. The galaxy was dividing itself into informal sectors (most of which were what the republic and empire would call planetary sectors, sectors centered politically around one prominent planet) as far back as the Infinite Empire.
As the Republic came into being, these political divisions were cemented into the sectors that we know 'today'. They were originally defined as groups of 50 inhabited systems, but over time many sectors grew beyond this size. With the rise of the Empire, some regions were grouped into oversectors, under the authority of a Grand Moff, The most notable of these being Oversector Outer under the rule of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.

The planetary areas weren't called sectors. They are called systems. Systems make up sectors. It is agreed that things did change when the Empire was established, but that is much farther in time than the time frame of the paragraph.

The regions start out in the center and work their way out in "rings". Then there are eight sectors which are spread out all over these "rings". The sectors are made up of systems. Systems are the same thing as a solar system.

Again, where are you getting that there were only eight sectors? As I said before, there were alot more than eight, so many that the empire furthur grouped them into oversectors. Do you have some source for there only being eight sectors?

During the reign of the Republic there were only eight sectors. These sectors were then made up of millions of systems. Granted, after the empire took control of the galaxy there were many, many more sectors created. The Empire started exploring the unknown regions of the galaxy and that is how they started getting more sectors. My main source is a book called Star Wars, The Ultimate Guide. The information about this is on page 14. What is your source?

I mostly rely on the knowlage gained directly from my 60+ EU novels, with a few refrence books thrown in for good measure. For a quick refrence, I use Wookiepedia, but I don't consider it 100% reliable. It's more of a starting point than a real source.
Can you give me the ISBN of your refrence book? I've been looking for it on Amazon, B&N.com,etc. and can't seem to find it. |

Oooo, Sourcebooks! I found a whole library sale full of um! I was flat broke though so I only bought four. Han Solo Adventures and the corporate sector, Whichever one had the Ysalamiri, the ORIGINAL (first run of the game) Alien Races Galaxy Guide, and of course I could not resist the awesome powers of Cracken's rebel Field Guide. Now if only I had a blaster to test that hair trigger on...

The full name is Star Wars, The Ultimate Visual Guide. I recently got it. Pretty good book so far. Click here for the link of it at amazon.  |
