The X-universe consists of 47 systems, with each system being constructed of up to 3 sectors (playable areas of space).
In total there are 59 sectors linked by Super Highways (between relatively-close sectors in a system), Orbital Accelerators (between very distant sectors in a system) or Jump Gates (between systems). You may also occasionally discover Anomalies, which provide 1-way routes to a position in another sector.
For further details about teh features that connect sectors, see the Piloting and Travel page of the Manual.
