Systems, Sectors and Zones

Universe Structure
The basegame X-universe consists of 50 Systems, with each System being constructed of up to 3 Sectors. Objects in Sectors sit in Zones, which can be considered to be things within radar range of an object. The location of systems and sectors, how they connect to each other, as well as the location of major Factions stations like shipyards and trade stations are the same in any game start (with the exception of the tutorial gamestarts).
In total there are 63 Sectors linked by Super Highways (between relatively-close sectors in a system), Orbital Accelerators (between very distant sectors in a system) or Jump Gates (between systems). Anomalies may also be discovered which provide 1-way route to a random anomaly in another sector. For further details about the features that connect systems and sectors, see the The X-Universe And Map page of the manual. Basics on how to efficiently travel through the universe can be found on the Piloting And Travel page. Finally, for a full catalogue of systems further information is available in the Systems Database.
Split Vendetta DLC
More Jump Gates have reconnected to the universe adding 26 new Systems to the north of the network with a total of 30 new Sectors to explore. With these new sectors come new routes between known space, fresh opportunities for exploitation and additional Xenon threats
Cradle of Humanity DLC
More Jump Gates have reconnected to the universe adding 5 new Systems to the west of the network with a total of 19 new Sectors to explore. With these new sectors come new routes between known space, fresh opportunities for exploitation and additional Xenon threats
Tides of Avarice DLC
More Jump Gates have reconnected to the universe adding 3 new Systems to the centre of the network with a total of 7 new Sectors to explore. With these new sectors come new routes between known space, fresh opportunities for exploitation and new hazards.
