NPC Activity
Frequent Pirate fighter wings spawn in the sector
Occasional Pirate M6, M7, M2 and M1 ships spawn or patrol through the sector
Frequent Military patrols of all races
A constant stream of traders pass through the sector
Commentary
A Pirate owned sector with lots of debris making the hauling of mines challenging unless PSGs or mobile miners are used to clear a path. Due to the location of the sector in "Pirate Alley" there is a need to defend complexes built if the player does not have enough Race Rank to be neutral with the pirates and should not be considered early on until the capital ships have been purged by military patrols. The frequent use of the sector for passing military patrols means that any complexes should be built in the east of the sector at >30km from the ecliptic. As this sector is owned by pirates the complex can be used to produce illegals although there is only enough spare energy for one Bio/Food factory. This sector cannot singlehandedly support a PHQ.

Commentary
For game starts hostile to the Argon getting to the sector can be challenging but the lack of threats unable to be dealt with by a single laser tower or M6, lack of obstacles during mine relocation, complete asteroid utilisation and relative sector neutrality make this sector ideal for a first complex. The comparative excess of silicon to ore means the complex can support a factory producing drones or Advanced Satellites in addition to 7 factories for missile support/ship equipping/stock market manipulation. It is advisable to place the complex hub within 4.5km of the South gate. This sector cannot singlehandedly support a PHQ.

Several Boron stations including a Shipyard, Equipment Dock, 2 Ore Mine Ms and 2 Silicon Mine Ms.
Commentary
A central Boron sector which is popular for setting up early stations and later a complex for generating credits. There are multiple NPC solar power plants, mines and Boron food and bio stations within two jumps to buy resources to feed partially constructed complexes and several equipment docks and military outposts to sell produced lasers, missiles and shields in addition to the numerous NPC traders that pass through the sector. The excess of Ore yield compared to Silicon means not all Ore asteroids are utilised. This sector cannot singlehandedly support a PHQ. The nearby NPC solar power plants and silicon mines can be used for further Ore asteroid utilisation. The close proximity to a shipyard makes hiring NPC TLs to erect Boron stations before the player owns a TL a viable option.

NPC Activity
Yaki fighter squads (1-3 M3/M4 ships) frequently patrol the sector
The Paranid Military Outpost in Empire's Edge will periodically send military patrols through the sector on the way to Senator's Badlands
Commentary
One of the most resource rich sectors in the game and not owned by a major race making this sector an ideal base of operations. There is enough Silicon productivity for a self sustaining complex that can support the PHQ and 198 factories for missile support/ship equipping/stock market manipulation which is enough to instantly supply most ships able to be produced by the PHQ. There is an excess of Ore asteroids so not all are used. The density of the asteroid field is so high that some asteroids need to be destroyed using missiles or a Mobile Drilling System so some mines can be moved out of the asteroid field before returning later to place mines on the asteroids when they respawn. If the player uses an M7M for combat this is one of the six sectors that will need to be used for dedicated missile production. By there being no sector owner the complex and PHQ is safe from RR ships if the player is hostile to a major race while the Yaki patrols are small enough to easily be fought off. It is advisable to place the complex hub in the south west of the sector at least 50km from the South Gate to avoid the infrequent Paranid military patrols. This sector can singlehandedly support a PHQ.

None unless a pirate base spawns or the player builds factories/complexes that sell to NPC traders.
Commentary
A convenient sector for a complex since it is close to Hatikvah's Faith making it a useful refuelling stop for jumping due to the relative central position in the universe before ownership of the HUB is obtained and for equipping ships brought at the nearby OTAS Shipyard in Legends Home (the neighbouring sector). If hostile to the Argon it also makes a quiet base of operations for launching assaults into argon space from. The slight excess of Ore yield compared to Silicon means not all Ore asteroids are utilised. Due to the medium size of complex able to be sustained it typically makes a good second self sustaining complex. This is a good sector for having 10x Lasertower Factories for keeping other player owned stations/complexes secured. This sector cannot singlehandedly support a PHQ.
