 The 0,0 sector is named 'Sector 1'. All other sectors also have a number, and this is counted by spiralling out away from 'Sector 1', going to (0,-1) 'Sector 2', then (1,1) for 'Sector 3' and so on. The diagram below shows the starting pattern.

+Sectors further away from the Core will have higher numbers. The most explored and populated sectors will also have a local name, such as 'Core', 'Deep Rift' or 'Spinward Suns'. For such sectors, the local name is nearly always used except in the most official legal documentation.

 Internally, these are treated as moons, though the term 'planetoid' is normally used.
+==== Rogue Planets ====
+Some systems consist entirely of a single rogue planet which orbits no star. Such systems aren't normally included on star maps, since they have no impact on jump travel and are nearly always officially uninhabited.
+In such a case, the planet is named "Name Zero".
