No... a sector is one square on the system map. It is 1/12th the width of a system. The squares on the galaxy map are not sectors, they are just squares. A sector is nowhere near 10 light years.
Hmm, what is 10 light years wide then? I read something along these lines in this forum, but it is likely I misundersoot the post. Is that the width of a system? And yes, you are right, as you can see by looking at the distances on the galaxy map. |
