Sector One Data

The survey for Sector One is still incomplete, but there is some preliminary information to report...

Sector One (S1) is the first area of "New P8" to undergo extensive mapping treatment. The total area of S1 consists of a terrain quadrant 50 km x 50 km., totally 2500 sq. kilometers. Over 90 percent of S1 is made up of a block like plateau (at a median altitude of 3166') with land features either cut into, or extruding above, the plateau base.

NOTICE TO AIRMEN:
Pilots should make careful note of the below information as Elite craft altitude readout is measured from a theoretical base sea level number up. Thus, your altitude cockpit readout is not a radar above ground altitude, but rather above the base sea level number. Please fly carefully commanders... and watch your shadow on the ground if in doubt.

The below map shows the S1 Plateau Region.

Sector One Landform Details Map

7 major and 18 minor landform features (for a total of 25) have been identified for naming. While this process is nowhere near complete, some formations have already received their designation. See the chart below for additional Information.

Nomenclature Process:
The naming of the remaining land forms in Sector One will come from brief "Tales of the Frontier". A new subsection coming to Ep2 in which you can participate and become immortalized, just like the lucky folks above...

Rendered Images of selected Sector One Landforms

Due to the nature of the "phase reality" on New P8, the apparent landforms appear in fractal form to a human's eye. However, the data can be manipulated to create still images of what the landscapes of New P8 would look like to observers in non extra-dimensional existence. Below are a couple of high resolution images suitable for viewing or printing. Please enjoy.

Solo's SummitSolo's Summit (Image Size: 800 x 600, 127k).
A dramatic 6966' high peak located near the center of Lonesome Quarry. Named after the famous Zat Solo, discoverer of Zatinite.
