I know, it's a bit confusing at first glance. Unfortunately there is a lot of data in each sector. I could have put more in! You will notice across the top of the map are the sectors in consecutive order, starting with the first sector you requested. The first letter inside each square is the area of space the sector is in: Color Code: Yellow ================== A = Sol Alliance B = Poulan Federation C = Neutral Zone D = Trazwok Empire E = Ditken League F = Erden Union The second letter is how many planets are in the sector color coded white. The third letter is what type of star is in the sector: Color Code: Red =============== G = Normal H = Binary I = White Dwarf J = Super Giant K = Neutron L = Black Hole M = Nova N = Barren (no star) The fourth letter and following 2 numbers are what is in the sector as far as players, pirates, zone police, Home world, Starbase Color Code Cyan (light blue) ============================ P = Pirates. P34 = 34 Pirates Z = Other bad guys. Z56 = 56 bad guys T = Nothing O = Other player. O12 = Player # 12 X = Home World Y = Star Base The second line down in the same sector square is color coded yellow and will be a 0 or 1 corresponding to a satellite present in the sector. The second letter in the second line color coded white will be an "F" or "H" meaning the sector is friendly or hostile. The third letter color code green will be a "Y" or a "N". Y meaning a protective grid is in this sector. The fourth letter color code red will be the number count of how many colonies are in the sector. The fifth letter color code cyan (light Blue) will have a Y or N depending on whether there is a War Fleet or not in that sector. That's about it.
