::The impression I go was of a sector being a well defined area, confined within a set number of co-ordinate points, while a region is Far more vague, kinda like Argentina being a sector, while Patagonia would be a region. [[User:JosephK19|JosephK19]] 11:53, 10 May 2011 (EDT)
:::Sorry Joseph, but that is not an answer, at all. You're only pointing out the lack of a defined distinction between the two... a region is logically  '''the exact same thing''', as it is also confined within a set number of co-ordinate points. What we're looking for here is '''what is the difference between "region" and "sector"?''' Is it that a "region" consists of various "sectors," or is it the reverse? Or is it that they are synonyms? That is what has not been defined here. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 12:05, 10 May 2011 (EDT)
Hi again Joe, Joseph, and everyone,
Here is what it says on the Propworx site here;
http://archive.propworx.com/1006/418
"Translights depicting various regions by sector of space. A set of seven translights seen in the Miniseries that were laid out on the center command console in the CIC and used as set decoration. This set features the regions of: Prolimar, Temeron, 96542, Capricorn, Cascadia, Elianica and Caprica."
Not sure how canonical this is.
Further to this question, if you wanted to revise the page to include the jpgs or images of the regions, two problems arise in my mind - first they are on the Propworx site and second the images are somewhat blurry.  Good images might help clear up the sector vs. region issue through the text on the images.  I am not sure whether Grazier's Science of Battlestar Galactica might have something to say on this - I will check.
Best wishes,
--[[User:Johna|Johna]] 13:21, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
: Well, as with most sci-fi series, BSG also plays loose with terminology at times, and as such likely doesn't bear intense scrutiny. Further, many of those translight charts come from the Miniseries, and Grazier did not consult until after the show went to series. (Also, those charts came from production, and so were used sometime in the series run. Or at least created for the series, so they are canon.) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup>
: And I'm fine with having a "list of regions" article, too, since the issue isn't clear. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 13:29, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
