Help:Sectors

To build a sector requires more effort than just applying a template and filling in the standard data fields.

Sector Coordinates

• Open the Sector Coordinates spreadsheet.
• Copy the third tab, Sector Template, into the proper placement within the other sector tabs, and name it accordingly.
• Roll a number within the range 20-50. This represents the number of detected star systems or other items within the sector.
• Add that number of rows under the System Name column, to include to the Distance column on the right.
• Identify which of the axis (represented by the three Origin- columns) are positive and which are negative (for that particular sector).
• Identify any systems or other items that should be included from other sources, such as from Star Charts. Add these in to the System Name columns by their official names, and provide coordinates to the appropriate columns.
• For the remaining rows, roll 1d20 for each of the three columns, for each sector item. (No half numbers will be used, from this point on.) Add (or subtract) the number from the base numbers associated with that sector. Be sure to record the negative sign where appropriate.
• For all generated locations, use the System Generator spreadsheet (or the Surveys rules) to determine in broad terms what is present at those location coordinates. Record under System Name as the item identifier code (G, MM, NMD, etc.).
• Using the System Naming Conventions (specifically System Designation), properly designate each item with it's location. Ex: GM-017-0704

Template Placement

1. Cut & paste the following code into the blank sector article.
2. For the infobox code:
   1. SectorImage= : the associated graphic for the sector is placed here; the preset Word file can be found here.
   2. Name= : Add the common name, if assigned. If none assigned, use the Sector Number in place of the name.
   3. Number= : If the Sector Number is not used in place of an unassigned name, add it to this field.
   4. Designation= : The galactic designation (e.g., 15-02-076-12) is placed here.
   5. Systems= : The number of star systems, including remnants but excluding unusual items or unidentified interstellar phenomenon (such as black holes or nebulae), is placed here.
   6. Affiliations= : List the wikilinked affiliations, if any, here. Otherwise, "unaligned."
   7. Capital= : If the sector has any designated capital systems or worlds, indicate them here (in wikilinks).
   8. Quadrant= : Indicate which of the four quadrants the sector is located.
3. For the article template:
   1. Systems: Create a line item for every star system, unusual object, and interstellar phenomenon, placing just the page name inside the first column's wikilinks. This will serve as a checklist for page creation.
   2. Extrasolar Facilities: Generally left blank at time of sector page creation, this tracks all known facilities or otherwise important locations that do not exist in the Systems section. Generally, anything built (i.e., not naturally occuring) will be placed here, but non-star systems will also be placed in here, as important locations of note. If something exists within a star system, it will not be indicated on the sector page.
   3. Sector Files: Files that constitute data records for the sector are accessed and updated through this link.
   4. Sector#: Change the pound (#) sign to the number (usually 0) or first letter of the sector. The template will add the sector to that category page.
