Sector coordinates also contain a number, such as CS-4138, which designates the location of the subsector independent of a particular quadrant. The first pair of numbers increases in value as one travels Spinward (East), and the second pair of numbers increases in value as one travels rimward (South), just like co-ordinates on the space map. | Sector coordinates also contain a number, such as CS-4138, which designates the location of the subsector independent of a particular quadrant.
