Are we assuming that each box in the map is a sector? --Wolf /talk page 02:17, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
Name of sector
BTW, I just saw the discussion on Canreb's page about the naming here. I've always called it "Sector 118," under the assumption that StarFleet is boring like that :D And, that the sector was named/mapped first, with StarBase 118 being built there much later and simply named for the sector. --Wolf /talk page 02:23, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
- That idea crossed my mind too but starbase numbers in canon don't correspond to sector numbers. ma:Sector 23 is home to Starbase 173 for example. Also, a sector can have a name in addition to a number, as the Maxia Sector (home to Starbase 32) may well do. Sector 001 has been referred to as the Sol Sector I think. - Lt. Salak

- I can't find a list of the sectors each starbase is in but a list of sectors and a list of starbases are both on MA. I'm yet to find any that match up, but it's not impossible I guess. Sector numbers do generally seem higher than Starbase numbers though. SB118 gets a side mention in TNG btw, but assume you knew that already :) - Lt. Salak Talk 03:24, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

Ophiucus 70
This star actually exists but is probably too close to Earth to realistically be in this sector? Also, it's binary, but both stars are K type, not G. - Lt. Salak

I read data on 3 different Star Trek site's (useing mostly Memory Alpha, etc...) and tried to compile a realistic merge of the info... I also wanted to try and bring some of the history into the project I was working on for Sector Trinity - Starbase 118, of all the episodes this seemed to be the only one I could bring in... so I shifted the star... as some of the data indicated it could have been in other locations...

- I don't mean in canon, I mean it REALLY exists! The info on the link above is not sci fi but Sci fact. Thus tweak the number or something perhaps? - Lt. Salak Talk 17:51, 27 March 2008 (EDT)
The notes I have read put the real star with in one of the 4 sectors that meet at Sol (Earth)less than 20 lightyears, The notes at Memory Alpha and other sources claim it is the star in this episode... problem... with all the space traffic their is no way 300 years could pass with out a response to an old style radio SOS... Earth, the Federation and all it's ships would have picked it up long before... the notes also claim the star was in a backwater part of space... so I moved it to meet the second fact but kept the name to meet the first... however I have no problem TWEAKING the number... can you tell me what number is not used with that star name???
