A '''Sector''' is a measurement of space used by the [[Imperium]]. They are divisions of a [[Segmentum]]. The size of a sector varies according to local demands and stellar density, but are usually equivalent to a cube with sides 200 light years long. A naval [[Battlefleet]] of warships defends defend each sector.<sup>1</sup>
Sectors are in turn divided into '''Subsectors''', which range from ten to twenty light years in diameter. Subsectors, rather than being general blocks of space like sectors, are instead centered on densely populated star clusters, important worlds, or meeting points of [[warp]] trade routes.<sup>1</sup>
