Talk:List of sectors (RDM)/Archive 1

Hi,

This is a Discussion Page on Sectors. I am new to this; apologies for any errors or omissions in advance.

I wanted to draw attention to the question of sectors. If one searches the BSG auctions websites, there are a variety of "region" maps. These were used primarily on the light tables of the Pegasus and Galactica CICs. The difference between "region" and a "sector" is not clear - but I think this is a good place to add info on the regions.

Here is an example of what I mean on the Propsworx website for the Elianica Region;

Hello, Johna! We have no problem in adding the region information to this list, and rename it "List of Regions and Sectors." -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 12:41, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Hi Joe & Everyone,

Thanks for the reply and welcome! Yes, it is interesting, but the difference between the two (i.e. sectors and regions) is unclear. Is a region a subset of a sector?

That distinction hasn't been well defined in the series, to be honest. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 13:11, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

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. 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. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 12:05, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

Re-imagined Series definition: Battlestar Group (TRS: "Water"). It also doubles as an acronym for the television series itself.

Original Series definition: region of space or planet, see also Quadrant. Usually named after a Greek letter (space sectors), or a geographic formation on the surface of a planet (geographic sector, e.g. Sector Hekla on the planet Arcta")
