A sector is a political unit. It is composed of several "member worlds" which have representatives in the Republic Senate and other, newer, colonies and uncharted settlements. I believe that the galaxy was split into Sectors when the Republic was founded. Thus Outer Rim sectors encompase a larger physical area than core sectors.NeoGoomba wrote:In SW terminology, are Sectors a set unit of measurement (ie x-amount of lightyears cubed), or are they different depending on the area of space within its boarders? Like would the Coruscant system be considered its own sector due to its own sheer importance and population size?

The best collection of sector names comes from the Star Wars Rebellion game, although some of the system/sector relationships don't match other EU sources. (since the EU doesn't even agree with itself, that's only a minor problem)

PubliusA sector is an economic and political division which originated in the early days of the Old Republic. Originally a cluster of star systems with approximately 50 inhabited planets, the definition of a sector became vague and the average sector grew in size during the latter days of the Republic. Now unimaginably large sectors contain vast numbers of inhabited worlds with no regard to limiting factors. Sectors are governed by Moffs.
Sectors are grouped together into larger territorial entities called regions. The Empire has countless regions, which can contain from as few as three to upwards of thousands of sectors. The establishment of a region depends not only upon galactic geography, but also upon wealth, influence, historic "sentimentalities," economic diversity and the level of direct control exerted by the Empire. Regions are governed by Grand Moffs (the title "regional governor" is commonly used). Some well known regions include the Outer Rim Territories (a vast expanse of space with many frontier colonies), the Galactic Core (historic "birthplace" of the Republic, containing Coruscant, the capital of the Empire, as well as several other vital systems), the Deep Core (a restricted area of space -- essentially a giant "preserve" in the heart of the Empire), the Colonies, and the Inner Rim.

I believe in the SWEGTP, it was mentioned that since the density of stars created a lot of mass shadows, and people thought it was almost impossible to find a hyperspace route in, so it went unexplored for a long time. That's probably why the Empire keeps it's goodies there.StarshipTitanic wrote:It's where the Emperor keeps his goodies.kojikun wrote:what is the restricted deep core like? sounds like something special must exist there..
