- Cubic divisions of space 20 light-years to a side, used for quick identification (Star Charts)
- Technically not precisely a cube, as "parallel" sides spinward and antispinward are actually portions of radial planes intersecting cylinder circumscribing the galaxy
- Height and length (core-to-rim direction) defined as precisely 20 ly, but width (spin-to-antispin) defined such that breadth of sector 001 at midpoint is precisely 20 ly
- Thus, sectors further rimward increasingly wider, sectors further coreward increasingly thinner
- Technically not precisely a cube, as "parallel" sides spinward and antispinward are actually portions of radial planes intersecting cylinder circumscribing the galaxy
- Given numeric identifiers generally corresponding to distance from core systems
- Sector system originated from Earth Starfleet coordinate system; thus Sol used as origin point, identified at being within Sector 001
- Often given informal verbal name as well
- Verbal name generally refers to most prominent star in a given region
- Sectors further subdivided into sections (ENT Novel: Kobayashi Maru)
- 15 per sector, numbered coreward (sector 1) to rimward (sector 15)
