'''Stellar cartography''' is the science and practice of making maps and projections of space. The [[United Federation of Planets]] and other starfaring cultures have various different systems to organize and catalogue space and objects in space. | '''Stellar cartography''' is the science and practice of making maps and projections of space.

A '''sector''' is a much smaller, cubical volume of space. Sectors typically contain several stars and are consecutively numbered; some also have a label, normally, but not always, named after an important star system in that sector. | A '''sector''' is a much smaller, cubical volume of space.
