[[SectorsSector]] s are divided into '''subsectors''' differently than the way [[segmentum]] are divided into sectors. These sectors work on a volume based approach, while subsectors work by encompassing systems.
Usually, subsectors contain between 2 and 8 systems, while some may have more or less than this, the average is 2-8. The size is generally governed by the range of available patrol ships. This means that there are vast numbers of systems and planet which are not within a subsector, being out of reach of patrols.
Inter-setions may contain gaseous clouds, dust nebulae, inaccessable areas, alien systems, unexploded systems and planets and uninhabitable worlds. These areas are sometimes found to be inhabiting [[Rogue Trader]]s as they may well not have been explored by the [[Imperium]], and may contain materials or technology vital for the spread of humanity.
