This area is useful for browsing the galaxy and searching for targets or friends. Simply enter in the desired system and sector number and hit change.

The first thing you will see in this page is two links, home and random, the home link will, when clicked, take you to your home sector, and if you click the random link, you will be taken to a random system and sector of the galaxy.

Underneath these two links will be 2 co-ordinate boxes (x:y - x = system, y = sector), you must type in the co-ordinates into each box, and click the change button to view a different system and sector.

Next to each of those boxes will be an arrow, the left arrow will take you back one sector, the right will move you to the next sector. It is also worth noting that if you are in in the first sector of a system, and click the left arrow, you will be taken to the last sector of the previous system, and vice versa with the right arrow. For example, if you are in 2:1, and click the left arrow, you will be taken to 1:10, and vice versa, if you are in 1:10, and click the right arrow, you will be taken to 2:1.

Below this you will see the sector picture, this can only be changed by the sector leader.

After this you will see the system name, current location and sector name (which can only be changed by a sector leader), and finally below that you will see a table with every kingdom in that sector, this will have their kingdom name, rank and profile, current stations, current networth, links to probe and attack each player, the players status in the sector, and finally their current activity.

The tables also colour code kingdoms based on their status. The following is a list of the colour codes and what they mean.

Yellow: This means that this kingdom is the sector leader. This kingdom gets an additional 10% bonus to attacks and defence and has full access to the sector treasury.

Blue: The means that this kingdom is in noobie mode. You will be unable to attack or probe this kingdom. During noobie mode, you are yourself unable to attack or probe anyone.

Red: This means that the kingdom has been locked by a moderator or admin, and is marked for deletion. You cannot actually attack or probe a locked account.

Orange: This is you. Only your name will be in orange when you are on your account no other name will show up as orange, it is basically there only to show where you are in your sector.

Grey: This means that this kingdom is dead. Basically game over, you will be unable to sign up with the same e-mail, username, kingdom name, and rulers name until the dead account has been removed from teh server, this happens 18 revs after the account was killed. Alternatively, if you want to sign up straight away you can do, but you must use an avaialabe e-mail, username, kingdom name and ruler name.

: This means the user is currently online.

Active/Inactive - This is the status of the member, inactive members can be attacked by anyone, but active members can only be attack by people within a certain networth range (see the 'Attack' page of this help site for more information).

Underneath the table is a total networth value of this sector, that is the combined networth of all the players within it.
