GUIDE TO NAVIGATING THE STARS(name WIP)
Star Trekking through the Universe!
Faster-than-light travel. A marvel of human ingenuity, one that is sparsly understood even today! And for you, Bridge Officer, it is at an arm!s reach.
Indeed, today, on this guide, we will be looking at how the FTL Console works, and where can you travel with it.
Before going in, I should mention that this is an easy job, unlike piloting the ship. It doesn!t need a seperate BO, and it can be done by your superiors most of the time.

Sectors
The Galaxy around us consists of an innumerable ampunt of Star Systems. Some of these Systems are far away from eachother. But some are very close. So close in fact, that FTL traversal between them doesn't take a life-time. These Systems are grouped into Sectors. The part of Space that you will be travelling in consists of four sectors:
Sector 1
The home of Nanotrasen, and Humanity as a whole. Thanks to the tireless efforts of such legends as Admiral Rudiger, Captain Czanek or Solves-the-Issue, the Syndies have been pushed back from here. Better not let them come back!
Sector 2
No-man's-land. This group of Systems are a neutral zone between the bases of NT and the Syndicate, and as such, the place of most battles you will take part in. This, however, did't stop some brave capitalists to set up shop, and sell questionably legal things.
Sector 3
The final frontier. Only lost probe torpedos know what is here. But to keep it serious, this is unkonwn, to be explored space. As most of these systems have only been spotted by scientists looking through telescopes, they only have identifying codes, such as J-03L
Sector 4
The homeland of the Syndicate. This is where their "capital" resides. Only the finest of crews make it here, and even they don't come back.
Hypergates
The Hypergates are the way of travelling between two far away Sectors. They are located in special Star Systems, which are marked on the Ui (as shown above). They are essentially giant teleporter gates for ships.
This is how you can use them:
