Galactic Sectors

The galaxy will be divided into different sectors, spanning many light years. Each sector can be controlled by an empire.

Inside these sectors will either be:


 * A Dead Space Zone, roamed by deadly, galactic leviathans.


 * A star system with valuable resources.
 * These "main systems" will be the only stars that you can personally visit, while the other stars in a sector serve as background elements.

There will be a very limited amount of sectors, so every single one matters and gives you a reason to fight for it. Instead of a galaxy that is wide like an ocean and deep as a puddle, Elysian Eclipse is going to only have a smaller number of relevant star systems, that make up for it by having a giant amount of content and value by themselves. Every planet in these systems will have multiple continents, each with different biomes. You will be able to land on every single (solid-surfaced) planet.

The sectors will be an invisible square grid that is layered over the galaxy. When the mouse is hovered over a sector, its outline will become visible and you get a tooltip with some info about it. You'll probably send drones into neighbour sectors, that will automatically discover them after some time and make them available for travel.
