[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7481705, member: 6925649"] This is recreating the setting from the fictional movie and book Ready Player One, these worlds exist on a Computer simulation called Oasis. According to the novel the Oasis is arranged like a Rubics Cube. In other words it is composed of 27 cubes arranged in a 3 x 3 x 3 cube. The Oasis as a whole is 30 light hours across, Each cube of the Rubiks cube is 10 light hours on a side and those are called sectors. In the movie, much of the action occurs in Sector 12, which is the sector in which the planet Doom is located. Doom is a first person shooter game, so I guess that World is based on that computer game. In the Traveller sector 3, I couldn't include every world, but the game tends to focus on mainworlds, so a one-hour subsector is a large enough space to fit an inner system which includes a mainworld, its sun and a bunch of inner planets. The Worlds from Traveller come from the Solomani Rim area near Terra, which is there version of Earth. I rearranged them in a three dimensional space in this instance. All the spaces are contiguous, so you don't need a special fictional faster than light drive to travel from one sector to the next. The faster than light drives in each setting default to a light speed drive, which take 1 hour per light hour to travel. To get someplace faster, you can use a teleportation portal which gets you there instantly. Every world in the Oasis has a teleportation portal, you pay money in Oasis credits to be teleported from where your Avatar is to anywhere else in the Oasis. There are also teleportation spells as well, if your avatar can use magic. Sector 1 is where the world Incipio is located, where all avatars are created.
