Sector A1-0 is a 3SGS sector located in the Alpha quadrant of the Lampshade Galaxy. Its size is roughly 4,400 light years by 3400 light years and it is inhabited by hundreds of spacefaring civilizations.

Astrography

Sector A1-0 contains nearly 63.5 million star systems and 102 million planets. Natural space phenomena called badlands are common in the sector. They are mysterious nebulous areas that prevent space travel through them, though some civilisations claim the ability to traverse them in a limited capacity.

Name

As a 3SGS (Standard Sector System of Galactic Subdivision) sector, the "A" signifies that the sector belongs to the A-series of sectors that are located between the galactic bulge and the 50% divide (that divides the galaxy into two circular portions that have an equal amount of stars in them). Furthermore, "1" is the designation of the ring, and "0" defines the segment of the ring. The sector has no official alternative name to its 3SGS designation.

Demographics

Sector A1-0 is the home of hundreds of sapient species on thousands of worlds. Current estimations put the total number of sapient individuals at 600 trillion dispersed over the many star nations. However, it should be mentioned that Humans are seemingly omnipresent in the entire Sector. With many star nations being founded by Humans and/or their off-shoot, it is yet unclear where the species originated from and whether their homeworld is located somewhere in the Sector.
