The sector names in the galaxy map can be coloured according to their owner and status.

You can configure the option in the Guilds Configuration Menu. There are currently 3 settings available.
- Off – Turns the colouring off, so it looks like the standard map
- Basic – Turns on a colour for each race
- Enhanced – Turns on a colour for each race and each sector type. IE Capital, Core and Border sectors will be coloured slightly differently.
