Zekrat VII, lay only two parsecs from the fleet.
Nitpick: a parsec is 3.26 light-years, and therefore only useful for interstellar distances. Within a system, you need something on the scale of AUs (Astronomical Unit = radius of Earth's orbit around the Sun, 93 million miles).

Thanks! My bad...I thought I read somewhere in the rules that the squares in the game=parsecs! Ah well, anyone else have cool ideas for names for distance measurements? AU's sound sort of...clinical, I think.

Just say two sectors. The squares on the system map are called sectors.

I'm sure someone can come up for a "Logical" explanation for the term.

That was referring to the Galaxy map, where each system is in one square. The Gravitational Quantum Resonators (warp-point openers) mention hundreds of light years.
