So...sandboxing kinda starts with a map.
In a sci-fi setting I need to get an idea of where things happen. I want it to be a space-faring sort of thing because space travel is pretty common in the galaxy. That means I need a space map. I'll start at the galactic scale. Just one galaxy though, I don't really see the point of multiple galaxies at this point.
I'm going to use one of my favorite galaxy pictures, overly it with a hex map and use the hexes as sectors. I'll choose one sector near the bottom outer rim and name it the Rahsav sector. I'll name the surrounding sectors too, but Rahsav is the sector Earth is in and the UED controls.
Then I will zoom in on the Rahsav sector and use a star field picture, overlay a hex map on that. Each hex will be a smaller unit of space, maybe down the AU maybe larger. Not sure yet.
