Quadrant Type	Synopis	Sample

Sparse	The Sparse quadrants are similar to the Standard quadrants, except that they generally have fewer planets. Their solar systems have an average of 3-4 planets. Other than that, they are the same as the base quadrant. For example, the Sparse Mid-Life Quadrant has the same setup and distribution of system types as the Standard Mid-Life, except that it has fewer planets in it's solar systems. See a sample system.
Dense	The Dense quadrants are similar to the Standard quadrants, except that they generally have more planets. Their solar systems have an average of 10-11 planets. Other than that, they are the same as the base quadrant. For example, the Dense Mid-Life Quadrant has the same setup and distribution of system types as the Standard Mid-Life, except that it has more planets in it's solar systems. See a sample system.
Mid-Life	This is the standard quadrant type. It has a few of the special system types, but not too many. Most of it's stars are in the Main Sequence phase. It's solar systems have an average of 7-8 planets. The systems are located in random locations on the Galaxy Map. Generally, there are around 4 warp points per system. See a sample system.
Cluster	The Cluster has the same system types as the Mid-Life. The difference is that they are arranged in up to 12 clusters on the Galaxy Map. The clusters are connected together. Each cluster generally has 1 or 2 warp points that connect to another cluster or two.
Galactic Edge	Galactic Edge quadrants are identical to Mid-Life quadrants except that the layout of the systems on the Galaxy Map is less random.
Spiral Arm	The Spiral Arm is organized such that the systems form spirals coming out of a central mass of systems. Creating Spiral Arm mpas with more than about 120 systems causes the extra systems to be placed around the edge of the map.
Threaded Spiral	The Threaded Spiral is similar to the Spiral Arm, except that the warp point connections are chaotic.
Grid	A Grid quadrant is organized into a rigid grid. The systems are all lined up into rows and columns. Each system in the middle of the grid has 4 warp points, connecting to the system to the North, South, East and West. The systems on the edge have fewer warp points. The maximum size of the grid is 13 x 9.
Super Grid	The Super Grid is identical to the Grid except that it's systems have 4 more warp points, which connect to adjacent systems in diagonal directions.
Maze	Maze quadrants are similar to Grid quadrants except that they have are organized into a maze-like pattern.
Old	The Old quadrant is a sector of the galaxy that is aging. It has fewer stars in the Main Sequence phase, and a large amount of Super Novae. There are also more stars in the Red Giant phase. It possesses more special system types than a Mid-Life quadrant.
Ancient	Ancient quadrants are very old. Most of their stars have died. There are many Black Hole and Storm systems. A large portion of the planets left in such galaxies have ruins on them, though not all are of use to scientists. Overall, these maps can wreak havoc on the AI.
Newborn	These young quadrants have many newly formed stars in them, and many Nebulae that have not yet formed into stars. There are almost no Novae or Red Giants. See a sample system.
Star Heavy	Star Heavy quadrants are similar to Mid-Life quadrants except that they have many systems with multiple stars.
Paradise	Paradise quadrants are similar to Mid-Life quadrants except that they have all "harmful" and "empty" system types except Storms and Nebulae removed. They are designed to be AI-Friendly.
Pseudo-FTL	These quadrants are designed to mimic the ability to travel through space, allowing travel to all nearby systems. This is accomplised by having a maximum number of warp points.
Spaghetti	The systems in these otherwise normal quadrants are connected by long spaghetti-like strings of warp points.
