The Universe | Interactive Map of Earth
Coordinates
The universe according to Time is divided up in the following manner:
Quadrant
This does not necessarily mean there are only four quadrants; as with many things, English is a latecomer into the Time industry. This simply represents the largest of the universal divisions.
Parsec
The second of the divisions, Parsecs, like Quadrants, are not precisely measured. Rather, they are kept fluid in the event that more Quadrants or Parsecs need to be mapped.
Sector
Sectors are the first division to be precisely measured.
System
The term "System" does not necessarily mean "solar system," but may in fact include up to twenty galaxies.
Planet
"Planet" refers to a specific planet. Each planet is numbered sequentially as they are brought into Time.
This system of mapping can be condensed down into a single string of numbers, giving each planet its own universal coordinates. Therefore, Earth's universal coordinates would be: 1-11-17-14-92
Region and District numbers (4-4 for example) can be used to further identify a location.

1-4-11-52-15: Turit
UC: 1-4-11-52-15
Indigenous Races: Turitians
Classification: Scientifically Advanced and Engaged Privilege
The Turitians are known as the Good Samaritans of the universe. They are always willing to lend a hand to races trying to break into space travel. They have a very complex, if flamboyant, social system of turns and gestures. Their language has only twelve verbs, making it one of the most beautiful for poetry and most open-to-interpretation for legal reasons.

1-11-9-3-1: Brelix
UC: 1-11-9-3-1
Indigenous Races: Borelian
Classification: Scientifically Advanced and Engaged Privilege
The Borelians are easily the most feared race in the universe. With the toxic oils they secrete over their skin, they are virtually untouchable. Each poison has a side effect that can be felt just by proximity. If skin-to-skin contact is made, the Borelian, if trained, then gains the ability to manipulate that aspect of the victim's physiology. If untrained, the most common reaction is death.

Indigenous Races: Fereni
Classification: Scientifically Advanced and Engaged
The Fereni were not the first to be attacked by the Borelians during their Expansion, but they are one of the few holdouts against their military conquest. Fereni life has since gone from one of relative peace and carefree lifestyle to constantly on guard against Borelian attack. Their involvement in Time is highly practical, and they often trade Timekeeping services for trade goods they cannot otherwise get because of Borleian blockades.
