I had also given some basic estimates of what each scale would look like, size-wise.
I am now remodeling that original concept, and refining it. The original was clunky and did not follow any real standard.
In this version, there will be six structures:
Galaxy->Domain->SubDomain->Sector->SubSector-> ;System
(Note: There's actually one additional structure but it doesn't really factor into this. For completeness though it'd be the universe structure).
This new layout allows me to design everything as a true metric system. A system is still 1ly by 1ly.
A sub-sector is 10ly by 10ly (up to 100 systems).
A sector is 100ly by 100ly (up to 10,000 systems)
A sub-domain is 1,000ly by 1,000ly (up to 1 million systems)
A domain is 10,000ly by 10,000ly (up to 100 million systems)
A galaxy still contains as many domains as needed in a circular format, but the average is 10 domains by 10 domains (cross sectional), netting a diameter of about 100,000 light years (equal to our galaxy).
Or, we can work our way down.
A galaxy is about 10 domains in diameter.
A domain contains 100 subdomains on a 10x10 grid.
A subdomain contains 100 sectors on a 10x10 grid.
A sector contains 100 subsectors on a 10x10 grid.
A subsector contains 100 systems on a 10x10 grid.
Ascii rendition of a galaxy. 1 * = 1 Domain:
